TallyT

Yep, the cute as a button infant and the adorable kid who took Sochi has grown into a breathtakingly gorgeous man.

I so agree that Origin was a fabulous costume, the best in any discipline this year IMO (biased? me?)

Oh oh, I want one of these! I will hug him and squeeze him and call him Yuzu-George.... Seriously, how cuter than should be legal is that first picture?

Poor angel, his hairstyle doesn't work for combed-back formality does it (I love you Jun, but your hair looks like a Ken doll with attitude!!!) On the other hand from what we can see he has beaten our Overlord in the fine art of buying a suit that fits

I would LOVE to see Boyang OGM in Beijing, or at least medal... though as with the others, it's way too early for any of them to even think about it IMO - of it they do, they need to also remember how Patrick Chan looked at the end of 2010.....

... and just in time for 2018, someone updated the video on his WRs.

Not sure if it's a new version or simply photoshopped red but either way it is stunning...

Officially, no he didn't break the record - nationals don't count (for obvious reasons, many nationals - US and Canadian among them - overscore as a matter of course from what I've heard) but I'm glad for Boyang because he's been having a rough time and still gets erased by the Nathan-Shoma narrative. Europeans or 4cc are a different matter and I do expect the FS at least to go (though I expected that at the GPF too... and look what happened) But yes, the kuyashii heading into Worlds....

The Chinese do love our boy...

I saw that... reaaaally nice

And only three singles skaters at all... Katerina Witt is the only woman alive who has two Oly gold, isn't she?

On the Eurosport poll of Spanish athletes, Javi is now number 4.... https://www.eurosport.es/polideportivo/mejores-deportistas-espanoles-historia_sto7055512/story.shtml

This picture - he looks hemmed in but also almost isolated... strong, but so vulnerable.

Waaa-aaah...... way to shred the heartstrings, Yuzu....

It does seem like someone up there knows fans are missing him, and arranging lots of little things to tide over...

Someone at TCC really needs to sneak a photo or two for us... (joking! sort of)

Umm, how long since they announced it????

That will be the epicest of epic shows, they had better show it live.... Sendai's love for their Ice Prince is something truly special.

Merry Christmas all! It's getting hot here so before I flake from the afternoon sun, I'm not sure if this has been posted but the Olympic Channel has asked a simple question Give you just one guess what the overwhelmingly dominant answer was (though I was glad to see Javi and Alina mentioned too...)

Oh yes, I think we can see who she's been watching on TV..... it's exquisite. And so is that dress Siwon Lee is wearing, the Korean girls do seem to come up with many lovely ones.

Close up of the cherry blossom top...

What a gorgeous New Year banner!
