The Japanese media is paying great attention to Yuzuru Hanyu participating in the "Ice Fantasy" tour. The Japanese "women" website commented that this is Hanyu's first performance in public since the Beijing Winter Olympics ended in February this year. Japan's Sportiva website commented on Yuzuru Hanyu's performance at Makusta, saying that Yuzuru Hanyu's performance was full of enthusiasm and allowed us to see his firm inner world.
The reason for the heated discussion among Chinese ice fans is simple: changing the age limit for competitions and reinterpreting the sub-standard content of the program. These two changes are related to the future of star athletes, especially fans of Russia's "Momo" and Yuzuru Hanyu. They say these two groups are very large in China. Of course, their concerns are valid. Valliere was only 15 years old at the time, and regardless of whether she took him away intentionally or not, she cannot bear primary responsibility for this. Vallier was eventually allowed to continue racing, but she failed to escape the whirlpool of public opinion. Comparing her worst performance in two seasons, she regretted missing the podium.
Yuzuru Hanyu was injured during the impact of 4A, and the injury to his right ankle affected his performance. After three months, Yuzuru Hanyu returned to the ice rink. He revealed that the injury to his right ankle was more serious than he thought, but it was basically stable. Although his foot injury has not fully healed, he will give his best to the show.
Yuzuru Hanyu does not plan to retire after the Beijing Winter Olympics. Previously, Yuzuru Hanyu also stated that he had no plans to retire and did not rule out the possibility of participating in the 2026 Milan and Cortina Winter Olympics.
