Max always tweets about Yuzu-related news, and he also posts them on his facebook (in Italian).

She hasn't announced anything about her future. I only read that she finished her first year at the university and it was hard. She might get that host spot at SC later.

Some random thoughts again: I wonder if it's IdF + CoR for Shoma then it means he'll stay with Eteri. Ayaka could get the remaining spot at NHK, it's be very happy for her! Yay for Han Yan, I thought he'd get a spot at CoC, but now that it's really happenning I am so happy for him. I still can't get over that Sota will compete against Yuzu for the first time It's interesting that in ID, Hubbell/Donohue, Chock/Bates and Sinitsina/Katsalapov will all have back-to-back events. H/D got SA and SC so they'll have 1.5 months until GPF. In the Pairs, Boikova and Kozlovskii go against Tarasova and Morozov at both SC and CoR. Sui/Han will compete in the later part of GP series, CoC and NHK. James/Cipres might WD later from GP events.

There aren't many chances for the Japanese fans to see and cheer for Yuzu in his home country... But tickets sell very well in general because the popularity of the sport, there are the Japanese ladies, too. Many fans buy all-event tickets. At the Sochi Olympics.

It is almost impossible to get tickets for NHK...even for Japanese fans it's very hard! It's much easier to get tickets for Skate Canada or the Grand Prix Final.

It seems good choices for Yuzu, SC will be in British Columbia but at least he'll stay on the continent, he'll then a month until NHK. Kolyada will be at both competitions like last year. Zhou does back-to-back events, Nathan will compete at SA and IdF so he'll have a month until GPF. I'm very happy for Sota getting a spot at NHK. It is possible that Dai might get the remaining spot later... Ladies will be a bloodbath, SC is really packed with Rika, Zhenya, Trusova, Mai (poor Mai again....CoC looks a bit better for her), Tennell, You and Yelim... Zhenya will go to CoR, and she'll again face Trusova there. Kostornaia also got two spots, great! I haven't even looked at pairs & ID yet.

Yuzu goes to SC and NHK! https://www.isu.org/isu-news/news/125-grand-prix-news/12648-olympic-and-world-champions-to-compete-in-the-isu-grand-prix-of-figure-skating-series-2019-20?templateParam=15

The Russian person who tweeted it earlier today has probably wrong info. Someone tweeted that the source was Zagitova's fan group but they don't know who that person is. It's possible that they'll post the list of competitors for NHK shortly after the assignments come out, after midnight JST. They didn't say at what time they'll post it tomorrow. oh I got it wrong..sorry it's in 12 minutes !!!

It seems the assignments will come out soon, on FSU she says at 16.00 CET (in 1.5 hours from now on) in 30 minues from now on!

Thanks for the info. Then it seems we have to wait another day...

Thank you very much @Lunna! Nice to hear they like Yuzu a lot!

Ivan Bukin mentioned in a long interview that Yuzu is his favourite skater, him and Stepanova talked more about Yuzu here, could someone who speaks Russian translate what they say (maybe @Fay)?

It is around 5 or 6 PM.. Jack tweeted it'll be announced around midnight JST which would be 5 PM local time (Central Europe/UST+1). Though it was tweeted a bit before 3 PM saying it's 27 hours to the announcement which would be 6 PM, but I think 5 PM is more likely.

They might come back for Worlds. But a medal for them wouldn't be that likely.

Last year Canadian fed posted Canadian skaters' assignments 15 minutes around the official list was out. So maybe it'll be worth watching their site (https://skatecanada.ca/event-schedule/ -> click on 'international') and follow them on twitter. ETA: we have some info from JackG: That's around 5 or 6 PM local time (UTC+1).

I was thinking about them that they might skip the GP series just like last season...or that they might not continue competing anymore.

Here's the answer. It's NHK -> GPF in Turin -> Nationals

It's Figure Skating Magazine (フィギュアスケート・マガジン B.B.MOOK) which usually has full scripts of press conferences and interviews of Yuzu + it has very nice pictures and Yuzu posters, too.

Tomorrow.

New magazine There are always nice pictures in this magazine with more than 90% Yuzu content + posters!

Not sure where they got that info? It's a two-day meeting and the final decision will be most likely made on the second day just like last year.
