Poor Liza, what else can I say.

Even before GPF 2013 I was thinking Yuzu had a good shot at Sochi gold with strong SP and even with planned 4S-fall in FS with everything else clean and with some mistakes from Patrick (of course not over clean Patrick like at TEB 2013), cuz Yuzu was on the rise and even Patrick's PCS will not be enough if TES difference will be big. And I liked that from the begging I started follow Yuzu - yes, he could make mistakes on the quads usually (or cuz was too tired by the end of FS), but he didn't fall apart on his other elements and a lot of other men (Javi, Patrick, Michal Brezina and some others) could jump quads and then mess up their triples.

I beg to differ. F1 drivers must be very fit and have great reflexes. *It's a former fan speaking in me* So yeah, let's not go there... I had a laugh over the winner, but at least we got a video message

I may want to see something rocky or tango for SP and some dramatic powerful classic for FS (not that he'd done many of those), but at the same time it's interesting to see what Yuzu will choose for himself, and his choices are thought through and have meaning to him so it will be brilliant anyway. As much as I like this year's programs I'm always for something new.

But Otonal was already almost perfect at CoR so I dunno. But I'll take whatever, Yuzu is really full of wonderful surprises

"win it all" - music to my ears

After this year's Worlds I can handle everything *and I have a room booked in Torino already

Tracy, you're my hero

I don't think we'll ever know the full picture, there's saying that Feds/hosts of GP have more power in choosing then skaters, but of course Fed may ask skater's wish and this time CoR and NHK were too close anyway, so too hard for Yuzu to do both, the most surprise was Yuzu skipping SC this time, maybe even more then NHK.

I think Yuzu said that he wanted CoR cuz of Origin and his origins, maybe he planned CoC also, we don't know when ISU decided on Helsinki - before GP seeds or after. I think they will want him at NHK again, but I'll take whatever as long as he competes and we have major events like GPF and WC outside Japan (I love Japan but getting tickets is a nightmare)

Booked a room in Torino just in case the closest was already 20 mins ride from the arena but that's OK. Torino is really a nice city, only need to pray for Yuzu's health

Happy New Year! Tons of health to our dear Yuzu and happiness to all!

First time I purchased clear files on amazon (in green costume and Ghana ones, for reasonable price at lest) and now this

Awwwww, I love Ghislain's hugs

1 or 2 or 3 more... there will never be enough of Yuzu But finally there will be a good reason to visit ice show in Japan *or maybe some Europeans shows, plz, Zuzu*

Wow, if not for Worlds in Japan I'll try to go to Sendai for sure.

Finally, the news. Get well soon Yuzu!

So pretty hope there will be some exhibition in March too

It's JSF that makes a statement, so we'll know when they decide it's time (even if Yuzu will say them beforehand), I don't think they feel like there's any need to hurry

Thanks! Though I'm OK with watching original CoR performance - it was beautiful despite the fall. And I love when we see more of that small hand movements - Yuzu has so much little details

Yay! Me too! Cheesecake, sushi and Japanese plum wine - that's my dinner tonight

Be healthy and happy, Yuzu! p.s. gonna buy a cake after work ))

141. For the glorious high-kick 142. For flying kisses

Dear, Yuzu, Happy Birthday! You're the strongest and most inspiring person I know. I wish you a speedy recovery and believe you will come back and achieve your goals. I hope all the support will become a wings behind your back and we will see you happily fly above the ice again. Until then take a good rest as long as you need and have a nice birthday cake! With best wishes, Irina, Russia
