    That poster is stunningly beautiful....

    I dreamed last night that Yuzu DID announce his programs for 2019-20 as Masquerade and Origin. Wishful thinking, I'm sure....

    Yuzu will be out of it, and if the USFS want to wreck everything that makes the sport...

    Oh my god, you can see a faint, shimmery, water spirit starting to emerge...

    It's being thoroughly dissected in the It's that time of the year - coaching changes 2019/2020 - Page 12 - Knickknacks: General Skating Chat thread

    The Yuzu&Javi relationship was unique, I can't see it working again (Shoma is lovely, but Javi's generosity and welcome was always something else, I have always thought that he even more than Yuzu made that early teaming up work). And there is the point that Shoma has said - more than once - that one of his biggest ambitions is to beat Yuzuru. That's a little more personal (though quite understandable, and in a competitive, not disturbing, way!) than just wanting to win gold, and might make sharing the coach who might be supposed to make it happen for him difficult. And - without being unkind - I got the feeling that signing up with Evgenia proved more work and drama than Brian and the TCC actually anticipated. Sure, the rewards are now showing up and may be great, but would Brian want to again take on a person already at the top and remould them, until she is pretty much where they want her to be? Shoma has said he's still basically shopping around...

    Yuzu's waistline is a thing of beauty and a joy forever (yes, I'm that shallow )

    You and everyone else, by the looks of it

    And I doubt that said rival and his family and federation would be even slightly agreeable to his coach working to improve the chances in Beijing of one of the men who beat him in Pyeongchang... you'd need to be a saint to even contemplate it. OTOH, Shoma just got his first international gold with his current coach, so any step up must be... quite a step.

    The thing is, Shoma may have had a less than encouraging year but he's still added to his impressive pile of medals - and got his first international gold. So if he's looking to a coach that can take him higher.... there really can't be that many on this list?

    I just love a good-looking man in glasses {sigh...} Javi does it for me as well though Javi has even more spectacular eyelashes (another of my weaknesses) which glasses do hide a little...

    If Shoma goes to Eteri that Boyang HAS to change his mind and go to Brian, simply because.. The DRAMA at rinkside will be splendid, totally overshadow that on the ice...

    But would Raf take on someone who could be one of Nathan's stronger rivals? (I know it worked for Yuzu and Javi, but their relationship is celebrated for its uniqueness) On top of Stephen? (I mean, personally I still believe that the of the 3 pretenders to the 2018 Olympic crown, none will stay the course for OGM in 2022, but what do I know?)

    Or baby Yuzu leaving Nanami Abe all those years ago.

    American fans are talking about Raf but I can't help feeling that's like the everyonegotoBrian rumours after the Olympics - he has Nathan and now Stephen looking (if rather prematurely for the latter but that's what they said about Yuzu) to 2022, it'd be rather optimistic to think it would work the way Yuzu and Javi did, and even that proved hard in the run up. What surprises me is that he's announced the departure without apparently having the new coach locked in (of course he could and just isn't saying... yet)

    Umm.... wasn't there a rumour about a Japanese skater going to Tutberidze? I hope this isn't it, I just can't see it at all, but we will definitely need to stock up on popcorn both for the next year and looking to 2022...

    Though I'm not sure he'd agree to do it - I'm sure I read that when they wanted him to carry the flag at the closing ceremony (can't recall if it was Sochi or PC) he demurred saying he just wanted to enjoy the march past with the others as one competitor among all of Japan's. And it being the summer Olympics, he might think it would be taking spotlight off the summer Olympians (though I suspect most of them would be thrilled to see him there )
  21. TallyT
    The Olympic committees, both international and Japanese, are probably already thinking up how to get Yuzu in as much as possible...
