Thank you!!

how was it?

ahh yuzu looks quite handsome here

But does it really matter?

Can you tell me who you're talking about? Is it Phil Hersch?

So glad to hear!

so...10 days of complete rest, back to normal in 3-4 weeks? wow doesn't give him a lot of time to prep but it sounds like probably the best case scenario. rest well, yuzu! don't try to recover too fast before your body is ready

ahh poor bb. the bg of that weibo site is so cute tho. does anyone have a source?

ok yuzu, you sure you're not doing this on purpose?

Thanks for doing this!!!

Thinking of yuzu today and well, every day, really.

excuse me

I just wanted to say that I once proposed that Yuzu skip this year's GP circuit so he can naturally peak at his proper time (around 3 months or 3-4 competitions into the start of the season). We have...nationals...Olympics team event...maybe a senior B? So maybe he can turn these lemons into lemonade after all

Saw some japanese posts on twitter with translations and immediately came here to see what was going on. This was one of the first things I saw so thank you.

My Japanese is not good enough yet, but what I gathered from this tweet was that: Brian (Orser) was contacted and initially they agreed to leave out 4Lz and 4Lo in the competition. Mentioned the doctor's advice after Yuzu went to the hospital. I think they mentioned that it's similar to dislocating your shoulder, that it's easier to sprain your ankle after you've sprained it before. 1-2 weeks of rest is a must.

Yeah I used to sprain my ankles and wrists left and right but I was a teenybopper so it healed easily. But spraining it again after it's not fully healed is incredibly easy. Wishing Yuzu a full recovery. 1-2 weeks is not so bad. Glad he didn't skate or it could have been more.

oh that's fine. you're doing most of the work of talking to people and giving them out anyway. that's the actual hard part eta: oh yeah.......denial........he'll get better and back in no time!!

I think I'm in denial............

@KatjaThera, is that you? eta: ew at the last 1/3 of the article

OMG AMAZING! And you are so beautiful! Even though your face has OMG on it! But I can still seee This board and picture really lifted my mood
