Rostelecom, here we come!

Seriously. If anyone can say finally, a black costume it is us Yuzuru. We the thirsty sods finally had our wishes come true

Tbh, I just laugh. It is just total nonsense so it makes me giggle.

Yup there is at least one, if not two, where it's a UR but not a DG as it was in that one competition (am so sorry but am totally done in to go looking for it now). He did get better over time and yes, he has been working on it for years, 3 at least if not 4. Still, if you cannot rotate it in practice then forget about competitions. I am actually slightly puzzled as to why they're pushing so much but I suppose he wants to take every opportunity he has to try it, knowing Zu's also gunning for it.

While we understand that sometimes there are truly unfortunate things being posted about Yuzuru that are hurtful and that we wish we could erase, the fact of the matter is that we here can only influence our own little world, and choose the way we conduct ourselves here. There is nothing we can do about things happening on the outside but we can do about things here. Yuzuru skates, and will continue to skate, with others from many different countries, and there are bad apples everywhere. We'd like to please ask you not to post generalizations or slights about fans based on nationality. It is not acceptable. Also, while we do understand that those hurtful things posted about Yuzuru are upsetting, we here cannot do much, if anything about it. Bringing them over here will just further upset everyone. One of the principal reasons Planet was created was to give us this (not so) little oasis in the skating world but we should all then be able to enjoy it, regardless of where we come from. This isn't aimed at anyone in particular just please have a care with your words, they can be hurtful even if at the moment you may not mean to do so. Thank you very much!

Yup. Trying for the first time at Worlds is a no-go which means 4CC or WTT. We don't even know if he'll go to 4CC though tbh, I expect so. He might try there but then WTT is really without any stress so that might be the best. But who knows with him.

Uhh, those photos. Not what I expected when I checked the thread

As long as he keeps that program as his EX I will take 10 chest hair costumes. Guh it is so amazing and should be seen on the big stage.

He'll go hmmm now, and wear both at the same time just for our complete enjoyment

I am doing god's work here I see, praise (I'm sorry! And yes it is, which is why it is that much worse somehow? Guh) @sweetwater Ahh thank you, thank you, I will try. I don't have much hope as my brain is wired that way but it won't hurt to try!

See the black, at the bottom of the V, in the front there? So it's not actual chest hair, but one of my friends said it reminded her of it, and now all I see is chest hair. Sigh.

I'm sorry but at least it's shared pain now?

A friend of mine called it 'chest hair' and that was it. Costume ruined for all time. I just cannot get past it since then Uh, yes, well. Best not to talk about that one

The "chest hair" bugs me. I just cannot unsee. So I hope that brown-ish bit goes away. The rest can stay
