People who supported the gold medalist--- I was touched by what his trainer (or physical therapist) said, and he had tears when talking about Yuzu. Partial translation of narration and talk: 1) In a little skate shop next to Ice Rink Sendai, Yoshida-san has been sharpening Hanyu-senshus skate blades from 6 years ago. Q: What is your impression of Hanyu at elementary school age? Yoshida: Gold medal for talking. A child that talked a lot and had a flexible body. (scenes of Yuzu in grade 6) 2) Trainer, Kikuchi-san, has given support to Hanyu since he was in elementary school. He said: Even though hes little, he had a very firm way of thinking. A child who knew very clearly what he could do and what he could not do. And what he could not do, he practiced single-mindedly. As Hanyus trainer, he went along to the Sochi Olympics. K: It was so exciting..... Immediately after the gold medal was confirmed, Hanyu went to Kikuchi-san to share the joy. (backstage hug) Kikuchi-san has tears even now, as he thinks back about it. K: He spent the years of his youth skating to win that medal; I was deeply moved, inspired, thankful. There are no other words for it. I am so happy. Congratulations! And also, thank you. Thanks to you, I could also grow. Really, congratulations! 3) His peers in Tohoku High School; 2 girls from the skating club say they are motivated to work harder because of him. youtube/watch?v=VyIcePQBzcc
