From Wikipedia:
Yuzuru Hanyu is a Japanese figure skater. He is a two-time Olympic champion, a two-time World champion, a four-time Grand Prix Final champion, a Four Continents champion, the 2010 World Junior champion, the 2009–10 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, and a six-time Japanese national champion.
Here are some of Yuzuru's famous quotes (taken from Planet Hanyu, posted in 2017. Thanks Hannah):
"If you cannot do it, practice until you can do it. If you can do it, then practice till you can do it perfectly. If you can do it perfectly, then practice until you can do it perfectly every time."
"I am me. I am neither greater nor less than Hanyu Yuzuru"
"Efforts do not always result in better performance. But, I don’t want any of you to hesitate on trying harder. The mere action of trying hard will benefit your lives. By putting in effort, trying hard in practices, we, as a person and as an athlete, grow to become a better person for the society."
"Failure or not depends on perspective of people. Failure is not the opposite of success, but a part of it. If you do not fail, you might not notice a lot of things."
出る杭は打たれるけど、出過ぎると誰かが引き抜いてくれるから頑張ってね
(translation posted by AprilS: "I'm pretty sure it's a take on the old proverb "The nail/stake that sticks out will be hammered down." - which pretty much translates to "if you stand out, people will try to bring you down/If you're unique or do something unique, people will try to get you to conform to everyone else." Hanyu pretty much turns this statement around by saying that if you stick out enough, someone will take notice and pick you out from the crowd (in a good way). i.e 'pull you out.")
Below is the video (around 13 minutes) explaining how Yuzuru uses AI in his thesis to perfect his routines.
