"In some ways, he is in much better shape than he even would have been because of all the extra (physical) training he had to do when he couldn't skate," Orser said.
Orser said Hanyu's final Olympic preparation, this week and last, has been focused on building stamina. That includes up to three short program run-throughs or two free skate run-throughs in sessions when Hanyu might ordinarily have done one of each.
"It's really intense training," Orser said. "That's why he needed to stay home, do the blood, sweat and tears we need to do there instead of in this fishbowl.
The coach is vague on a lot of the details surrounding Hanyu's recovery, and with good reason: The Japanese media has a tendency to blow out of proportion even the most minor piece of news about its golden boy.
The lutz is off the table now. Hanyu's free skate quads most likely will be two salchows and two toe loops. A fifth, the quad loop, which Orser called "a work in progress," is a wild card.
"He has three different options for programs, and he will practice them all," Orser said. "Sometimes, at a competition, I'll be scratching my head and thinking, 'What is he doing?'''
"My feeling is never underestimate him or the power of him," Orser said. "The break doesn't bother me at all. It's going to raise him to another level."
"His toe and salchow are as good or better than they used to be, actually. The loop is still a work in progress so we will see at the end of this week how that is going," said Orser.
"If you put him on the ice with some of these guys everybody is talking about, in my opinion, there is no comparison," said Orser. "There are some great jumping things happening but as far as (Hanyu's) speed and the flow and the charisma and the distance across the ice on these jumps...it's pretty spectacular."
"There will be a lot of extra attention as there is a lot of the unknown and people are curious. (But) he will be approaching everything the same (as he did last year at the world championships in Helsinki)."
"I think whoever is going to win it needs to (have) an over-the-moon performance and we didn't have that in Sochi, so it would be nice to see that from a few guys to kind of raise the roof," said Orser.
"At the last Olympics, pretty much the whole last group was not that great. I would like for Hanyu and Spain's (Javier) Fernandez to be two of them. It's out of my hands after that but they are ready that's for sure."
“I exchanged texts with Yuzu to ask if it was OK if I gave some update to the press,” Orser said. “Yuzu wrote back, ‘Yes. It’s OK. I already read them.’ ”
& 今日BO採訪，羽生星人飛越月球
終於讓我拍到了羽生君💙
真的很棒。
我希望他能擺出像在比賽中一樣、像在表演時的表情，他馬上就做出來了🌟
#aera #無法想像他存在於這世界上 #羽生結弦さま
"I said, 'This is what I'm saying...is it OK?'" Orser said. "He told me he had already seen the interviews."
Orser said he has no worries that Hanyu will suffer from the competitive staleness.
氷上に戻れない間もフィジカルトレーニングを積み、「ジャンプのイメージトレーニングもしていた。今はＳＰを１日３回、フリーは２回くらい通して持久力をつけている。期待してほしい」と強調していた。
的確現在這階段需要對手的情蒐阿
