Yes, there are a lot of stories... If I had forgotten nothing, this is the list of his injuries during his competitive career. he has the ashtma, so sometimes he struggles to breathe when Yuzu was 7 years old he sprained one ankle. We know almost nothing, only that it was in this occasion that Yuzu meet for the first time Akira Kikuchi more or less when he was 11 years old, Yuzu had an injury at his neck (we know nothing, only that, watching an old video in which he had some fabric around his neck, Yuzu said that he had an injury) around 2007 he had a concussion in training, when he decided to try a 3A (a jump he was not yet able to do) when he was already mid-air, and fell before the 2009 JWC Yuzu trained so much that he injured his back. One week before the competition, he was still unable to do the 1A before the 2009 JGPF he had an injury at his back and he had to reduce the training time he was still injured at the back during the 2009 National championship, so much that in training (not in competition) he avoided the biellman spin on March 11, 2022 there was the earthquake. Yuzu was not injured, but was scared, and on a physical level it was not an easy period (not enough food, cold in the school where he slept for 4 nights) at the first official practice at the 2011 Rostelecom Cup he injured his hip in the commentary before his SP at the 2011 GPF Massimiliano Ambesi mentioned "a small injury at his ankle". Is it the injury at the hip that happened in Russia and Ambesi did a mistake about the part of the body where the injury was, or is another injury? in the last official practice before the SP at the 2012 WC he sprained his right ankle. He skated the 2nd FS and won the bronze anyway. After, he skipped the WTT (held in 2012 because the 2011 competition was postponed because of the earthquake) in the first period in Canada his ashtma worsened in August, during a night training in Sendai, he sprained his ankle. He was not totally healed at the 2012 Finlandia Trophy after the FS at the 2012 GPF he vomited. It was probably food poisoning or an allergy. He was still not totally healed during the National championship before the FS at the 2013 4CC he had a clash with a door and he injured his right eye (we can see a bandaid in the video before he started to skate) after the 2013 4CC he had the flu and he had to skip some days of the training. When he returned to the rink, he trained so much (Orser was not in Toronto but with Nam Nguyen at the JWC) that he injured his left knee. He had to stop for several days, and he was still injured during the WC. He skated only the 9th SP, in the pre-Olympic WC. He trained so much that, before the FS, he sprained his right ankle. With both legs injured, he skated the third FS anyway, but he had to skip the WTT in Autumn 2013 Hidefumi Kurihara from Ajinomoto discovered that his body struggled to digest food, a problem that had affected Yuzu for a lot of time, and started to study how to aid him to eat better Yuzu had some (small?) problem at the back before the 2014 OG he had a fever with tonsillitis, so he had to skip some training at the 2014 WC he had problems at his back and at one leg. He skipped two official trainings, and after the free skate we can see that he clearly had problems at the back he would have liked to start the 2014-15 season at the Finlandia Trophy, but an injury at the back and another at one ankle led him to decide to skip the competition In the warm up for the FS at the 2014 Cup of China there was the crash with Han Yan. Yuzu totally lost his breath when he fell on the ice, and this is the reason why he remained lying on the ice for a whole minute. He had not a concussion as someone say. He had a bruise on his chin, another on his head, the worst injury was at the sartorius muscle of the left leg. During the FS, when he fell on the 3Lo, he also sprained his right ankle after the 2014 National championship he had to do a surgery for an urachus remnant. The problem had already affected him during the National championship. The recovery was complicated by drug allergies. when he started to train, in february 2015, he sprained his right ankle. The ankle was still taped during the 2015 WC before the 2015 WTT his body started to expel the suture remnants that don't dissolve on their own. The problem is that he had trained on quads—his muscles have tightened up—and the stitches coming out was painful. He likened it to wisdom teeth coming in, only in his case, the teeth were erupting from his stomach. He started to feel pain at the left foot in December 2015, already during the GPF. The pain worsened and in January he started to feel pain in other parts of the body because he was moving in a strange way in order to not use too much the left foot. He lost the quadruples and fell on the triples. He partially improved before the WC, but it was not enough. Later, his left foot was diagnosed to have a Lisfranc injury before the 2016 Autumn Classic International he had two small injuries, at the back (because for some time he had moved in a strange way in order to protect the left foot), and anoter at one ankle. In the free skate he skipped the biellman spin because of the injury at the back he skipped the 2016 National championship because he had a flu at the 2017 4CC he skipped the biellmann spin because he felt that his back was stiff. Even in the gala, he skipped the biellman annd did a bad 3T instead of the usual 3A before the 2017 WC a strong ashtma attack slowed his training before the 2017 Autumn Classic International he felt at the left knee a pain similar to the one he felt before the 2013 WC, so he reduced his training and he decided to simplify his layout (4S and not 4Lo in the SP, Lo and Lz triples and not quadruples in the FS) when he went in Japan for the 2017 NHK Trophy he developed a fever. He skipped the first official training, he fell on a 4Lz and he sprained his right ankle in the second practice. He had to renounce to the NHK Trophy and to the National championship. He was still injured during the 2018 OG, and he had to renunce at the WC In the last official practice before the FS at the 2018 Rostelecom Cup, he fell on a 4Lo and he sprained his right ankle. He won the competition anyway, but he had to skip the GPF, the National championship, he was still injured at the WC, and he skipped the WTT again in May 2019, training on quintuple jumps (5T and 5S) in order to gain height for the 4A, he sprained his ankle. At Fantasy on Ice he also had a swollen hand not really an injury, but during the 2019 National championship he was jet-lagged because he had to do 5 intercontinental flights in one month between September and October 2020 he had a periostitis, caused by the difficult training for the 4A right before the FS at the 2021 WC he had an ashtma attack at the 2021 WTT he had problems with the food because he had to be quarantined after the WC, and he was unable to eat the right food at the start of the summer, in training, he sprained an ankle in a training before the 2021 NHK Trophy he sprained his right ankle before the 2021 National championship he had a fever with esophagitis falling on a 4A he sprained his right ankle the day before the FS at the 2022 OG

Thank you so much for both books. I read them in 3 days 😊 So many insights. I can't get enough. I will definitly read parts again!!!

Yes. Yuzu sprained his ankle a lot of time, but, he was able to have a long career. Eteri's girls are suffering really bad injuries.

I check for everyone the biggest improvement. Sotnikova's PCS grew of 4.78 points in the SP in 3 months between the 2013 Trophéè Bompard and the Olympic Games. For the women, the factorization is 0.80. With the men's factorization (1.00), it would have been 5.98 points. In the same 3 months, her PCS in the FS grew of 9.76 points. Using the men's factorization, it would have been 12.20 points. Chen's PCS in the SP grew of 5.79 points in 4 months, between the 2016 Finlandia Trophy and the 2017 Four Continents Championships. In the same 4 months, his PCS in the FS grew of 14.00 points. Hanyu's PCS in the SP grew of 4.97 points between 2012 WC and 2012 Skate America. There are 6 and half months between the two competition. And it was off season, when they have time to work on skating skills, not during the competition period, when it's more difficult to learn new things. Also, he had changed his training rink, and I suspect that Tracy Wilson can teach skating skills better than Nanami Abe (I'm not criticizing Nanami, she was wonderful, but Tracy was a world class athlete, I suspect that she knows things Nanami never learned, at least if we are talking about skating skills). Hanyu's PCS in the FS grew of 7.22 points in one year, from 2012 GPF to 2013 GPF. Hanyu's PCS grew in a more normal way. He was not the favourite of his federation, and JSF is not used to aid his skaters in the same shameless way the Russian and American federations aid their skaters (except for Takahashi, but anyway...)
