Day 7 of ✨ @anythinggoe​‘s 31 Days of Figure Skating  ✨

Today: Favourite Warhorse

Swan Lake / Xiaoyu Yu & Hao Zhang; Kaetlyn Osmond; Daisuke Takahashi

This is a very sentimental choice because Swan Lake was the first ballet I ever saw and it remains one of my classical favourites. In figure skating, I enjoy how many variations of the music there are even though there are some staples that get repeated frequently. I especially recommend Daisuke Takahashi’s very unique take on the music...

Brian Orser's interview in Korean news (24 Feb 2018) -- translated by Chaiyun Yoo. (only the parts related to Yuzu are translated)

Interviewer: How do you feel when you see Yuzuru and Javier on the podium.

Brian: I feel proud of them. Yuzuru got first place and Javier got 3rd place. As a coach, it was a wonderful experience. Since I've spent such a long time with both of them. I've been with Javier for 7 years and with Hanyu for 6 years. Seeing both of them on the podium was truly amazing. This Olympics was very important. It's important because I led Yuzuru and Javier to the 2014 Olympics as well as in the current Olympics. Yuzuru had a gold medal, as well as a second consecutive win on the line. Yuzuru was happy that Javier was on the podium.

I believed that this Olympics would become a battle between Javier and Yuzuru. Since I've led both of these skaters I can't choose one or the either. It's like when parents are asked "who is your favorite child" and the parents will respond "both are unique, so I love them both equally." It's the same for me. I love all my skaters equally. Because they all have unique personalities and specialties. There is nothing different from me and a parent.

Skipping to Yuzuru's section...

Interviewer: Hanyu Yuzuru was injured for 3 months and did not skate. How did he spend his time?

Brian: Throughout that time, Yuzuru was in Toronto. At the beginning it was really depressing and dark. Seeing him walk in crutches was sad. I felt sad cause I knew how much Yuzuru wanted to practice. But instead of practicing, he was practicing in his head, visualising and practicing skills on the floor. And he was very serious about the training.

The turning point came three weeks before the start of the Olympics. The road seemed to open again. From there the training really started and he had to do all the techniques we had planned. So he gave himself confidence and he strategically planned it. And he was able to pull it off.

With him being able to pull off these results, I believe it as a miracle. I've never underestimated him, but he was like a 'super power' from another planet. I'm not very surprised that he was able to bring out these results. I know what process he's been through so I'm just very happy.

Interviewer: People criticised the fact that Hanyu reused his 2015/16 long program. What do you think about this?

Brian: I believe he was wise in choosing to keep his program and reuse it this season. Because it's a very special program. Isn't it a program worthy of the Olympics? Two years ago, this program was too early to choose to show at the Olympics. The same goes for the short program. He is excellent and beautiful that even if you watch him over and over again, you won't get tired of watching him.

Interviewer: Did Hanyu decide this himself?

Brian: It was 100% his choice, and I supported his decision. Carrying the responsibility, he chose to do it. He's always spending his days with positive thoughts. We knew the press would talk about this decision a lot. But, there were a lot of people that wanted to see this program. Amongst them, there were some people that particularly liked this program, and they were the judges. With this program, Hanyu had broken his own world record, and when he did, there were judges that said, "I was able to watch it live and judge this excellent, magic-like competition, and it was best moment of my life."

Those judges that missed out in watching the competition live were able to come and watch it at these Olympics.
