Interesting I don't think that's something we changed. It may be a forum update or something. Can you link a post that does that so i can check it out?

Thank you for your art, it's very cute and funny ^^ I hope you get WC tickets even though it's sure to be a bloodbath (fyi the images that aren't linked from imgur aren't embedding , i think it will only embed if the link has a .jpg or .png on the end of it)

Wow that was fast! I guess we should make this thread...100 and counting? reasons to love yuzuru hanyu

84. How much he inspires other figure skaters, young and old, to work hard or even just to start skating! Can't tell you how many adult skaters I've met who started skating because of him, and of course many young skaters, many of whom are skating competitive as well These are skaters from all over the world, too. Truly a global phenomena!

So in the spirit of #羽生くんの好きなところ100選 #100ReasonsToLoveYuzuru hashtag, let's literally list 100 reasons we love Yuzuru Hanyu! I'll start: 1. The way Yuzu loves figure skating....is unlike any other skater ever. He can make so much more money, get so much more attention, etc. etc. doing shows, but nope he would rather compete at ACI and Grand Prix events. 2. The awareness he has of all the people who appreciate him, the ones who attend competitions but also the ones watching on the internet or on TV, the ones who spend money on Poohs and flowers but also those who can't, is so sweet and so self aware and just so lovely. Thank you Yuzu

Honestly it's the same injury. Continuously damaging the same ligaments can't not have an additive effect on the injury. So one is not "less serious" than the other.

Too bad about the short, Shun lost by literal fractions

Stop making me cry

chills

Yayy! I hope you get to try it! Skating is so fun omg yikes, but if the pain faded in 3 days hopefully that means there's no damage at all! >.< be careful pls!

Yeah like @robin said you can start with pic skates or snow whites and mount them on old ice skates! they're not cheap though, it's basically the same as buying a figure skating set. but at least the rink time is cheaper. i think pic skate blades start at around $200. they're very different though. but i think they are similar enough that you're not falling on your face when you switch from figure skates to inline skates and vice versa, which reportedly happens if you just use regular inlines. also pic skates to me are harder to use than regular inlines (back when i used them before i started figure skating). the toe pick is higher, and they're taller and more glidey, which makes sense as they try to mimic figure skates? when i first tried pic skates i found that they were terrifying and i could barely control them. stopping is very different and the rocker is very different. but after a few hours i got the hang out of it better and could start doing crossovers, mohawks, skating backwards, etc. spins and jumps felt impossible so i haven't even tried. just doing anything that requires scraping the ice or turning on your rocker like hockey stops, snowplow stops, and choctaws seem impossible (but i'm sure it's actually not because people in pic skate videos do it). it's kind of hard to describe, but one major difference is that there is way more resistance. if you're going to go from inlines -> figure skates your issues will probably be quite different from mine THAT BEING SAID if you can't get ice time, i highly recommend trying it, a lot of the moves (like crossovers) are pretty much the same, and a lot of the muscles you will build are the same. and it's fun in the same way!

NOoooo! His lines!

....WHY also is that a...youtube screencap? lol

Sorry, do you know who exactly said that? I know it's the female commentator, but do you know her name?

Wait...really? But what about NHK '15 where he pointed at himself and then did the pointing "#1" sign

I forgot to respond to this but...if you would like to embed a google spreadsheet here, I made a post with the instructions to do so: That way if you want to post your content index it'll be easy/accessible for people to read/edit it.

Thank you 😍😍

Does anyone know where this photo is from? Is it a fan photo?

Hmm interesting, video hosting and playback is super tricky and resource intensive though.

I have the same spinner. I bought it because bees=honey=pooh, BUT i didn't know he has the same one now i may use it more diligently now

Btw I like your username
