I've been only vaguely following skating over the past year, but this news pulled me back into orbit! I'm so ready for next week and so not ready. What a time to be alive.
It is interesting that USFS requested for the case to be reopened after his passing. Despite the reasons given, I do think SafeSport owes it to the athletes involved to provide closure. It's all just really sad.

I really don't understand this last reasoning for dropping the case. SafeSport is endangering athletes by not investigating allegations of previous abuse and environments that foster abuse. And dropping the investigation sends the message that they aren't invested in protecting their athletes in the future.
Thinking back to the video of Yuzu dancing along to Uptown Funk during a practice, and I would actually love it if he did it for the short program. I think it would decease many a fanyu.
