Gosh, that fall can even rival those horrible pairs throw falls.
Yuzu, this is not the time to do Pogo things.

Who is the guy talking to Yuzu at the boards? It does not look like Orser.
As it was said in the Yuzu fan fest, he left the ice after the fall rubbing his ankle and when he got back he avoided jumping and only did some spins. Then, he skipped the press conference and it was announced that he was going through medical treatment. I pray that he goes through this competition healthy and happy, both in mind and in body. I hope that he is just playing smart and taking care of his ankle properly and there is nothing to be worried about.

Another coach from TCC, Brian is not in Japan. He is still recovering from the surgery.
Ghislaine Briand a coach in the Orser's team
Where's Tracy? I thought she'd be the one here if Brian couldn't

It might be smarter for Hanyu to withdraw and look after his body; considering that Fernandez, Chan will not be doing the GPF either; I say let the less seasoned contender's -all mostly newbie's to the games, duke it out at GPF, putting the additional strain of an extra competition on their bodies, pressure of expectations on their minds instead. Hanyu certainly will not lose his ranking/huge PCS if he WD's from NHK as a result of his injury. The fans will be upset, but they will understand and certainly would rather he show up in Korea fully healed and ready to repeat than on crutches seated in the audience...

After watching the video I can't tell if it is only his ankle that is injured it looks like he twisted his knee too.
Have we heard yet if it is ankle or knee or both?
MaiKatze is correct there is pressure on Yuzu to compete at NHK
and if he is able to do it physically Yuzu will be out on the ice for the SP.
If he's not, no matter the reason, that means he isn't competing at the arguably last big competition/last big power show-off of the candidates before the Olympics. It's not a plus point to not go to the GPF for Yuzuru.
