hey, that's a good question haha. i am not sure. i will ask

Hmm, while I don't disagree with most criticism of the ISU/scoring/etc., if a post is not really about Yuzuru, it should go into a different thread (the salt thread, threads for other skaters, or competition threads). If it's a criticism that has already been posted before (or twice, or three times), maybe use the salt thread instead. Many posters here expressed that they agree w/ most of the criticism but want to talk about other things instead. As far as constructive criticism, I agree that we shouldn't bring in skaters' appearances. I also think we shouldn't assign moral judgment to skaters for being overscored. I don't like it any more than anyone else when skaters are given scores for things they didn't do, but they are not judging themselves. Sure, skaters can work hard and improve to "deserve" their scores, but not everyone can improve even if they try to. Maybe they are trying to (and failing). It would be too much for me to expect them to voluntarily withdraw from the competition because they are overscored. Maybe I'm more calm about this now because I don't really think scores mean anything anymore. Overscored or underscored, it's all made up numbers to me. I'm kind of from the camp where I don't think scoring is even fixable until we dismantle the ISU from within and start anew, which isn't going to happen. Maybe I've reached the last stage of grief -- acceptance. P.S. We will inevitably have different opinions on other skaters. And THAT'S OKAY. No one should be made to feel bad for liking another skater. I hope this forum can be accepting of people who are fans of other skaters. Please use the ignore button instead if you don't agree with a poster's opinions... The fandom has gotten pretty splintered lately (and not for no reason) but I hope we can still coexist as Yuzu fans.

Good luck in retirement, Satoko! https://www.instagram.com/p/CbjftFeJjD6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Welp, the scoring train has sailed...I think Yuzu should put 4A in both SP and FS, eff the scores, just 2x the probability of landing it

Welp.

Sorry for the late reply, we aren't always online. I will delete your acct.

Hope everyone stays safe poor Yuzu and Tohoku... 🙏

Yes you did!! also I just love how much cultural impact Yuzu has

I'll try to download it!

Thank you so much

this is adorable!! you captured his mischievous eyes very well. it reads 100% yuzu lol

Thank you so much 🥰

oh wow, I'm both shocked and not shocked. This was a hard season for her even though she pulled out fine at the end. Even Alina stayed 1 more year after Olympics. But Anya is "already" 17 and has already won worlds. Good luck to Anna in her post-competition life.

done!

welp, rest well Yuzu

whoa this is beautiful!

Hi, welcome to the planet!! Hope you enjoy it here! I think Yuzu had not been to TCC nor trained with TCC coaches for many years (mostly due to covid at first, but now probably because he has his own goals and vision for his skating). It's possible he didn't want to give others the impression that his strategy for these Olympics (for example, pursuing the 4A above winning) was anyone's decision but his own. I think it's a pretty considerate thing for Yuzu to do, tbh, and doesn't imply at all that he had a falling out with Brian and Tracy. He wanted to take responsibility for his own skating for better or for worse.

damn thank you and @yuzupon 😘

haha i certainly haven't seen every video published of Yuzu ever 😅 but if anyone has this i would love to see it pretty please

hm where?

now i know why he is so adamant to try it. he is SO close. and the rotation is without question.

both satisfying and terrifying

FULLY ROTATED HE CAN DOOOO ITTTT

A work of art. Can I steal this poster and put it in my room? Wait no, I would never be able to get any work done...
