On February 20, the final day of the Beijing Olympics, a figure skating exhibition was held. In the second half, Yuzuru Hanyu, who won the Beijing Olympics 4th and the Sochi / Pyeongchang Olympics for the second time in a row, also appeared. She was dressed in white and elegant, and she performed “Haruyo Koi”.

In the middle of the program, hydroblading that slides on the ice makes it possible to kiss the link. When the tournament mascot “Bindundun” that appeared in the finale accidentally fell, there was a smiley scene where Hanyu and others rescued him.

On the Chinese SNS “Weibo”, the number of searches for “Spring, come” was ranked first, and related words were trending on Twitter. Many people are impressed by Hanyu’s performance.

《Yuzuru Hanyu Isn’t it better to make it a Living National Treasure? 》

<< I was impressed by Hanyu's exhibition. You have expressed the music completely. It was like a spirit calling for spring.

《Hanyu-kun, who has abandoned all the pain and pressure responsibilities of the heart as well as the body and monopolized the world only with his own charm, is still the strongest and the coolest … This is NO.1 in me》

I was particular about the song selection. In an interview after the performance, Hanyu said, “There are a lot of hardships in the world. I slipped in the hope that spring would come to those who are suffering from the hardships that cannot be escaped or who cannot say anything.” It is revealed that.

Hanyu slipped to the end through an ankle injury. To tell the truth, it was “Haruyo, come” that saved herself in a time of trouble when she was “falling to the bottom”.

All Japan Championship in December 2020. Hanyu won the championship for the first time in five years, but in an interview after the competition, he revealed that there was a great deal of conflict. He said he was absent from the coach due to Corona, and was under pressure to think about training and choreography himself, and was worried about the success of the quadruple accelerator.

“I’ve fallen to the bottom. There was a time when what I was doing seemed very useless.

There was only one person left behind, or just the feeling of falling to the bottom of the darkness.

I don’t want to do it alone, I’m tired, I thought I’d stop, but when I did both the programs “Spring, come” and “With love from Russia”, “Oh, skating. I like it. “

After that, he said, “I felt like I could continue the competition not only for everyone but also for myself.”

And, one year after this remark, Hanyu won all Japan in a row and was appointed as the representative of the Beijing Olympics.

After the Beijing Olympics exhibition, Hanyu talked about his ups and downs. “It doesn’t matter what the field is. I want to do something that everyone wants to see,” she declined to say whether it was an ice show or a competition. Fans are waiting for Hanyu to perform on the ice in any form.
