How could they go over budget when it was basically a fancy zoom conference????????? (Mind you, won't it be funny if Yuzu ends up the first, last and only Most Valuable Skater ever?)
-
The live figures were low, but the minute it got out who had won, the views of the complete video on youtube started climbing, and I think are over 126000 now. Not sure what they will make of it all as to whether it is worth doing next year, especially if they are dealing with a truncated season anyway...
-
Sending heaps of thoughts and wishes that you and yours will be okay! It was lovely of Yuzu to mention it, he never ever seems to forget the people back home who have had hard times but are supporting and are supported by him. I think this is part of the reason that, ISU be damned or not, the bottom line be damned, I do see Yuzu as the most valuable skater all round He tries so hard to ensure the world is a better place for his time in it.

Okay, can't help snickering... even if we have no opinion of the ISU and their award, it's Yuzu's fair and square and someone has already added it to his wiki page.

I've lost the tweet with the caps, but they looked just that but too short (not as bad as his official jacket at PC) and too much cuff showing. I could be wrong...

Mind you, you have to laugh at how the clip is all MADISONMADISONMADISONevan?MADISON!!! It is a magnificent dress. One thing, seeing some pictures (and doesn't he look great? not too formal but dressed with respect for the audience) I did notice something reassuringly Yuzu... The sleeves of his jacket. As always, the sleeves are the wrong length. Yet again, Mister Hanyu has bought a suit (or jacket, he could have been wearing jammies like Jason) that does not fit. He is so lucky he has Satomi to dress him on ice....

I've been thinking (once I got over the shock of 'they did the right thing!') and it occurred to me that the ISU - certainly Zakarian (sp?) intended it for Nathan, right from the start but then in the last month or so the pandemic has made it clear that the season - and therefore the sport's general popularity and bottom line worldwide - is going to take an almighty hit. And Yuzuru, the top Japanese, and the Russian and Korean girls are their only real hope to get back attention and income once international skating gets going again (which I doubt will be before the new year at the earliest, but who knows?) So all of a sudden, toadying to the US Fed over their award show was not worth it. The omission of Alina in anything (c'mon, they could have made it four nominees, or even five like the Oscars, and brought in Sui/Han) and the godawful mess they made of the bios doesn't support my suspicions, unless it was a last minute thing... but I can't help wondering.
-
Sad that he seems to have known the ISU wanted it to go elsewhere... But you notice that, as always, Yuzuru thinks of other people and shows he cares about them. And they wonder why Japan, and others, love the man as well as the skater.
-
We got to see that same wall again..............
-
I am absolutely stunned that the ISU let this happen... and already pretty well convinced that had it not been for the online backlash, they would not have. But I am glad, he deserves it and more for pretty much everything he has done for the last ten years for the sport he loves.

Oh definitely. Mao Asada is deeply loved and Daisuke Takahashi and the quite brilliant group at his time brought mens skating into serious fandom.
-
I am planning to avoid the internet (except for the streaming party) until the nosense has been and gone and died down. But on a more fun note, I saw this tweet and had to laugh...
-
Has Nathan Chen been asked to put up a message on the ISU channel asking people to watch the thing? I bet he won't, the messages there - even Sasha and Evgenia - have a tiny number of views compared to Yuzu's. And the ISU would not want their favourite's message to get the reaction it so definitely will....
-
It's tough being fans of another country's national idol...
-
Maybe someone realised that the sheer downplaying of the People Who Shouldn't Be More Popular But Are was a bit too crude, and people were retweeting it all over the place and making an even bigger mockery of Ari's Super Special Show.
-
Obviously the Japanese can find many uses for clear files (besides simply hoarding and gloating, which is what I would so). These two - especially the Masquerade one - are... wow.
-
The internatioanl travel/quaratine comig and going may be the sticking point - that, and decisions of the local authorities to put locals before sports events. Not much can be done if they do.

As I have expected all along, they are going to hold out some hope until the last minute. But unless something drastic changes...

How lovely! I know that it's pound to a penny he is still in Japan, but there or Canada, you have to give the boy credit for superninja skills... one of the most famous faces in his country and they still haven't confirmed a glimpse....

I suddenly got this mental image of Yuzu doing a gala program (maybe that slow, sensuous Gershwin I dream about) in a deliberately dishevelled tux costume with tie askew and hanging loose, top buttons undone, jacket open.., Don't mind me.
