I know I'm late, but I literally just saw the news on Tumblr and... HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY CAME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I for one could happily watch an entire ice show of just Yuzu doing step sequences. Or even just stroking exercises. heck he could just be wearing his UA and doing massive spread eagles and I would be so happy I would vomit rainbows and sunshine. Every time I remember that interview I'm like... young Yuzu be scary.....

I understand... But let's trust him! Yuzu is not an immature headstrong loose cannon anymore. He knows more than any of us what skating on an injured ankle would do in the long term, and you can be sure as anything he would never compromise his goal.

May I just say that your profile pic is everything?

My guess it'll either be Chopin/Seimei/NS, or a trial of his new ex or SP. GOD PLEASE LET IT BE THE LATTER!!

Lol off season. What off season??

https://wjdekq.tumblr.com/post/173577683200 I'm not sure why but these photos make me blush... Is it just me who feels like I'm doing something wrong looking at them? Yeah? Just me?

Can someone let me in on how Zhenya moving to TCC went from "its just a fan theory" to "looks like it's actually going to happen" in two days?? I've been a bit busy so might have missed something on the main thread. What changed?

Oh wow for reals? I need to search up videos of his 3A then. I didn't think anyone currently competing had a better 3A (stability, quality, success rate) than Mr Hanyu

Well obviously we don't know for sure, but I highly doubt TCC would take on not just one new top skater, but two.

Lol did Yuzu spark another meme?

I have a folder in my computer entitled "What is physics" and its basically all Yuzu leaning at ridiculous angles....

Because Yuzu is going to come back next season with a flaming vengeance to claim back his throne

maybe thats just his daily weighing time? lol I have no clue ><

It is extremely common for athletes at that level to weigh themselves daily, so I wouldn't be concerned about that. I know we've heard about him just eating fast food etc apparently without consequence (like wth Yuzu....can you at least pretend to be human) but from what I understand, normally, athletes, esp those at a certain level, will have extremely strictly regimented, planned diets and weight goals etc during training and competitive season. not only do you need energy for insane levels of exercise, but in a sport like figure skating where you are throwing yourself into the air and trying to rotate freaking four times in the air (or more Yuzu??), you want to cut down every single possible bit of excess weight. This extends to equipment (skate weight) but also just their own body needs to be as streamlined as possible. I think we sometimes forget the amount of dedication it takes to be a truly world class athlete. Everything in their life revolves around the sport, Yuzu is not at all uncommon in that, and they sacrifice having a normal life - friends, outings, eating whatever they want etc for the sport

Lol while I appreciate the Yuzu focused CM immensely, I also do kind of feel a bit sad for the other skaters that they aren't even featured..... Like they are all talented and decorated skaters in their own right, with fans of their own. There was no way that Yuzu wasn't going to be the main selling point, but not even having a single shot of any of the others makes me uncomfortable....

Ohhhh.... awwwww baby....... Makes me want to comfort him and give him everything in the world. Seeing his tears, him holding back his tears, makes my heart squeeze in the most painful of way....

Wah I just noticed the header banner!! That's so cool admins!!

I think if he gets +5 for like all his jumping passes he should be able to beat the FS record? No one else even has a chance though tbvh. Haha I'm doing the rough calculations in my head so I have no confidence that this is accurate mind you! Besides, it's not like he's getting all +3's for his current jumps anyway. So you're right it will still be very hard even for him. But if his 3A does not get +5 imma start a riot....

well that's what happens when your record breaking programme is criminally underscored.....

Well even when he was 5th after the short in world's 2017 (a relative disaster for him) he didn't change any layout for FS. What he DOES do though is YOLO and change his programme there and then on the ice if an earlier element doesn't go as planned. Link: http://the-real-xmonster.tumblr.com/post/172648711844/more-yolo-jumps-yuzuru-hanyu-since-you-guys While I think some of them are true YOLO moments, but also I think he and his team do sit down and have a plan for if certain elements don't work. Cause I remember when Javi had that mistake in Sochi they talked about "it hadn't been something they planned for" which tells me they do plan an alternative plan for some mistakes. See the thing with Yuzu is he isn't banking solely on BV. Everything in between his jumps is as important to him, and also contributes to the overall quality that gets him so much extra points. He times everything to the music to the second! I know it might seem like you can just switch out jumps however you want, but it's not so easy to do so if your programme is crammed full of complex transitions and entries and exits. (Which makes his YOLOing even more ) And I'm very sure that when he even plans a layout right at the start, he is calculating not just his own possibilities, but what he thinks his competitors can do. He steps into a competition knowing that if he skates perfectly, he will win. I suspect those aren't just words of confidence of skill, but based on actual calculations that if he skates his planned layout perfectly, others planned layout done to their highest ability would not beat his. (cue everything is within my calculations face) Just my thoughts and none of us live in Yuzu's head P.s.: Oh wow... that turned long. I am so sorry....

A new ex is the most realistic of all the unlikely possibilities lol. I'm sure his SP and FS programmes are no where near ready yet. An ex though... thats possible....

I'm sorry my brain short circuited right there and then...

we've all said it a million times by now... but man... he's really beautiful....
