I'm so thankful for Olys Chinese account, seems like they have even more footages and will release them slowly. t
The best part was the smile to the camera at the beginning, the 6 pack trolling to Brian, and the Cizeron trolling.
This is amazing! Otonal practice video overlay with competition video. I hope someone can do a comparison of Origin with open practice video and competition video.

YES.
With Cizeron, he reminded me of the little kids who copy me during freestyle sessions. I can't wait to see more.The best part for me (as a Japanese language lover) was that I'm 99% sure I heard him say 「行ぐべ」around 6:07. It literally means, "I'm going/let's go", but in that context would mean something like, "I'm going to start (training more intensely)", and he said it in thick Sendai dialect.
Can any Japanese speakers confirm if that's what he said or if it was just wishful thinking because I love dialects?

It gives you an little corner of insight into how intensely he's thinking it through...

I think it could be Igube (行ぐべ), Ikube (行くべ), or Ikuze (行くぜ）(I wish the sound was clearer but am thankful for weibo for giving us these footage). The first two are dialects and boys and uncles use Ikube in our area of Kanto, but they don't use Igube. If Yuzuru is saying Igube, we can say he used one of Tohoku dialects IMO.

The replies to the tweet definitely favour him
Our wounded hero and what he did...I've been revisiting the Olympic thread and videos, given that next month it will be the anniversary of that achievement. That Seimei, may not have been quite perfect but it is still four and a half minutes of something utterly incredible.

The award ceremony is scheduled for the 18h February. That's one day after his PyeongChang victory anniversary!!!
Since the Laureus is a really big thing, I bet my Pooh plushy that he will be there, so it's likely that we will see him live in one month!!

It's also run by a foundation that is a big force for charity works - I can see that being important to Yuzuru who does try to use his own stature to help others.

Congratulations, Yuzu!
Sounds like a lot of big, beefy guys will be there. I wonder if any will try to lift him.

They are all very impressive so I'm not setting my heart on it, any of them would be a worthy winner based on the description of what they went through... but yeah, I hope so too.

So is it not common that nominees don't show up at the award ceremony? Are there athletes who skip it because of schedules? Please tell me about it, I know nothing about this award (except for wiki info) 
:
I've heard Naomi Osaka is a nominee for "Breakthrough of the year" (or something) this year and I feel like she'll win, I'm not sure about Yuzuru but I hope we'll get to see him there. They introduce nominees by showing the videos so we are able to see it at least, am I right?

The Laureus is comparable with the Oscar/Academy Award for actors, so even a nomination is a huge honor. The gathering of so many sport celebreties in Monaco is nothing you want to miss, I guess

Yes ! The Laureus is like the Oscars in sports, particularly for highly commercialised ones like tennis, golf etc ( since the awards tends to prefer these athletes). Not to say Asians barely get nominated let alone get awarded. Past nominees included like Phelps and Federer etc, and this year he is up against Woods in his category..it is pretty amazing for just getting a nomination for someone from Japan! Especially when there has never been figure skating.
I am glad he is getting his deserved recognition by foreign outlets like ESPN, Laurels, Chinese media etc.
(and he achieved all these by himself without the help of any PR agents too)

BTW, I hope he can go and also meet Naomi (since they are now both ANA sponsored) I will be very interested in her Hanyu fan reaction XD. It will be on the anniversary of his second gold too! If he wins, that is the best present, if not I'm sure he will still get very hyped himself from seeing all the amazing athletes and boost his morales for the WC.
