He’s not just having a laugh? Or is it a real prize?

Wow! So cute! What a great idea!

Ahh, I thought it might be a Japanese comp because of the low quality. How sad there’s no better footage. I hate no camera rule in Japan. Everything he does on ice should be filmed in 1000K HD for posterity!

Don't forget little Yazuri and Yazura!

Thank you!

(I hope it's okay to re-upload.)

What does he say to Boyang before he goes out? I can make out "Good job. Amazing." And then? (This sport is so nice and squishy. )

I have a tiny little low quality clip of the end of a gala practice run-through of Notte Stellata (not sure where I got it or what comp) where he goes on tip toes and does beautiful swan ballet arms at the end before getting embarrassed. I wonder if anyone knows of a better quality version or at least which comp it was? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sharing! I thought I'd seen every photo of this beautiful costume but I'd never seen these! Second one belongs in the murderface thread for sure.

Did he win?

Goat, bull - he's a whole damn farm! Japan makes saving money so hard.

Oh man, he's going to regret liking that!

Yeah but he only had one week off, not over a month of rest and rehab. Unless we find out differently in his next biography. I’m with everyone else that I’m more worried about his nerves at the Olympics but what do I know. He’s in the best hands so I’m sure whatever’s going on it’s being handled as well as can be. And it’s not like a miracle performance would be at all surprising.

Right, but that means even if he were to get back to training today he would somehow work back up to pre-NHK within 1-2 weeks? I don't think it's going according to keikaku.

4 weeks isn't that bad, I think it was just a tiny shock because the initial report said that for him to get back to pre-NHK levels it would be 10 days rest +4 weeks rehab so we were all expecting him to be back on ice by now.

This would be good, too.

Y he keep do dis?

I watched this only 2 days ago and it didn't even register!

Sorry, I don't know the artist. All I can find are a bunch of pinterest links. v_v

They did mention his ankle but made it seem like something minor in addition to the knee. Maybe they heard/read LCL and assumed it was knee because that's more common or confused it with ACI? Usually I'd brush it off but I'm suspicious because we're dealing with Yuzuru "I'm in perfect condition oh wait fever fall WD" Hanyu. I'll wait and see if another news source reports it before beliving it, though.

We need to talk about Jason

I guess they just got confused as the name of the injury seems the same for both ankle and knee. Where did they pull knee from, though? If anyone feels like correcting them...
