The Spring Festival holiday is approaching, are you already "lying flat" and waiting for the New Year holiday like the chicken frame and me?
In other words, if there is someone in this world who is the least suitable for the word "lying flat", it may be Hanyu Yuzuru.
Since July 2022, Hanyu, who turned professional, has almost started a busier figure skating life than the current player: opening a personal YouTube channel, opening a public training live broadcast, opening and planning and executing the personal ice performance "Prologue", "Prologue" has just ended, and immediately opened the personal ice performance "GIFT", "GIFT" has not yet begun, another hometown revival disaster relief theme ice performance "Hanyu Yuzuru notte stellata" has been officially announced again... Not to mention busy other "time-free" shows, filming and other activities...
So much so that Hanyu's ice fans have said most often in the more than half a year since he turned professional is "can't catch up". Also, it can be seen that Hanyu Yuzuru has been "stronger" in the past six months.
What has never been challenged in the field of individual ice performances and figure skating in a row is an all-round test of technology, ability, strength, physical strength and other comprehensive strength. Everyone's first reaction after watching it was - how did he do it?
Among the many reasons, I think this one is extreme self-discipline.
Even after he has ceased to compete and turned professional, Hanyu still maintains extreme self-discipline, in order to pursue the best figure skating and bring a better figure skating experience to his ice fans.
After the transfer, the quality of Hanyu's training did not deteriorate. In fact, since the start of the pandemic in 2020, he began his own solo training in his hometown of Sendai. Although there was still remote guidance from the coaching team during the active duty period, more often than not, it was still him who was adapting to it while groping for his own training methods. After the job change, the timeliness and intensity of this training did not decrease. I go to the ice rink five days a week, and in order to avoid the normal business of the ice rink, the training time is late at night.
And in order to cope with the schedule of personal ice performance, which is an unprecedented challenge to physical fitness and physical strength, Hanyu Yuzuru has also increased his physical training.
Of course, as we said earlier, maintaining a high-intensity training state is only part of Hanyu's daily routine.
Hanyu, who started his own YouTube channel after turning pro, is studying to become a good vlogger. Program arrangement, setup, post-editing, uploading, channel operation, etc. all in one place!
It's really hard to imagine how he maintained all this enthusiasm and energy under such intense physical training and a busy schedule. So that now, while preparing for two large-scale ice shows, we must also work hard to come up with a new program every 2 months to feed the ice fans?
Moreover, if maintaining high-intensity physical training that is basically the same or even stronger than during active service is a high degree of mental self-discipline, then in daily life, Hanyu Yuzuru, who leaves the arena, still maintains his best physical condition with self-discipline.
Such an excellent physical state is not born, but is built by the day after tomorrow.
As long as there is a formal ice show, in the month or so before the start, even if you like it, you will never eat snacks, sugar, excessive carbs, etc. will be strictly intaked. During the active athlete period, the happiness of drinking a can of cola, eating a cup of instant noodles, and eating a piece of chocolate after the competition is still the same. After more than ten years of "dervish" life in active service, he has left the arena, but those who want to stay in the best condition will still limit their small desires and happiness with extreme self-discipline...
The extreme love for figure skating is probably the source of the power source of the "perpetual motion machine" on Hanyu.
Having achieved so many great deeds, this person who should have "lay on the merit book" is still full of "so far away" when he mentions the word "rest".
After the age of 40, can Hanyu really "rest"? I see, not necessarily.
As long as he still loves it, even when he becomes an elegant grandfather, he will still keep sliding down!
