Awww, poor baby, he was just getting a headstart on G O A T with Added Extra, couldn't she tell?
-
But we do have the broadcast of Heroes & Legends tomorrow, don't we? Do we?
-
Oooh, lovely... I am going to miss them...

We should not be greedy no.... of all skating fans, we will have more riches in shows and the rest to tide us over than most of the rest combined.... (OTOH, I WANT to be greedy, damn it!!!)

I wasn't surprised he declined the gift - he has an uncanny (for someone so young) feel for the right touch in these things. After all, how many Olympians of any sport have simply handed over their winnings - twice - to those in need? The gift of the hakama was different, that was made specifically for him (by a Living Treasure) and a oh so personal present from his beloved home town.
-
On these larger clear photos you can see the sheer workmanship on the hakama... it's really beautiful.
-
The only way Yuzu wasn't going to be a shoe in for the Olympics team was if he announced he really wasn't human... and even then, JFS would have probably pointed out that alienness is not actually against the rules.
-
Obviously something from before my time, pretty please let me in?
-
That is lovely about the hakama; must have been what the earlier news report was about, they showed someone making it. I'm sure he'll treasure it.
-
Someone on the youtube feed said he declined a gift....
-
has the live stream started? It's not working for me, I'm scared that it's geoblocked. Oh those photos!!! Never mind, it just started - he looks like he can't quite believe it himself!
-
Yuzu is a PR dream remember, whatever the media ask he seems to instinctively know the perfect thing to say. And this is a BIG occasion for Japan, not just for him, so it'll be hard to twost something that will be broadcast by every media, including those who love him (I wonder if Matsuoka Shuzo will interview him? or Nobu can. They both adore him as much as we do)
-
That's a worry, not only if they attack Yuzu (who is loved enough to ignore them) but the young skaters who might want to fight for the place Dai is also aiming for. From what I've read, they were really vicious before...
-
If he doesn't do some of the internationals, the implosion of todays explosion on all forums won't be pretty - I think I read something about him medalling at Worlds already!!!
-
Four years since Sochi, the whole of possibly the most rambunctious quad in history where the men are concerned... Have to admit, while I wish him and his fans all the best, I couldn't help thinking of Patrick Chan's one year off and how he never got off the back foot after his return, couldn't quite catch back up... and Brian Boitano's(?) recent and apparently hard-won advice to Yuzu. But then the rules have changed, the Japanese men's field isn't, as I understand it, as ridiculously hard as before, and I doubt he's really aiming as high as Chan was... from the sound of it, he just wants a chance to redo the finish of a great career. I hope he can.
-
If he does, he'll be competing against Shoma... he wouldn't be up against Yuzu till the GPF at the possible earliest, right? If the next announcement is that he's off to Canada, I'll know we're definitely now in Oz.
-
The fan who did the split screen ones above has done another Seimei - NHK 2015 vs the Olympics. While the perfection of NHK is breathtaking, the fierce, utterly indomitable fighting spirit that every move in the Olympics is suffused with is... well, maybe even more for me.

We will ALL send lots of karmic lemon and honey. Which I'm sure he will appreciate even if there's nothing even slightly coldish about him...
-
So Helinski is before Moscow, right? That means that it might be the first time we see his programs? Oh the scramble for tickets will be something else....
-
So he gets his new award on Monday, right? Here's hoping for photos and news items ...
-
Me, I will keep repeating Brian's advice to myself from here all the way through... "Never underestimate Mr Hanyu."
-
I admit that was my first thought: especially as Alina - the other OGM - is also going there. Nice fillip for selling tickets to have both.... And Helsinki would surely have good vibes for Yuzuru.
-
You've got to admire how objective and neutral both Max and Plushy are when talking about Yuzu...
-
Well, our Yuzu at least has plenty to keep his attention occupied for the next few days...
