Junnabauer! I love it! https://www.instagram.com/tv/CauqP3BI72f/?utm_medium=share_sheet

I believe Yuzu's exact words in Beijing during one of his mixed zone interviews were "My coaches are watching over me properly, please don't worry." I took that to mean that they were doing exactly what Yuzu wanted them to do, so we fans shouldn't try to over- interpret the situation. And really, i know everyone is starting to act like COVID is over and travel restrictions are done and what, but that's not necessarily the case. Yuzu may well still not be interested in coming back to a city like Toronto, where Omicron is running rampant and public health restrictions are about to be lifted anyway, willy-nilly. If he decides he needs to be at TCC again, I'm sure he'll go back there. He hasn't burned any bridges with them or anything.

Maybe we're all overthinking it, and Yuzu is simply enjoying the opportunity to practice with other actual people around, and have an appreciative audience as well. Let's not forget that for the past 2 years he's pretty much been not only solo on tge ice, but as far as we know, solo in the building at the times that he trains. For all his bravado about being able to do as many run-throughs as he likes with no interruption, that much solitude would get to anybody. He's having fun. His idea of fun. Just let him. There's no need to make it any more complicated than that.

They'd probably already follow him anywhere 😁

Has this been shared? Looks like Yuzu's practice today was all about being a rock star!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CaEtzgToaKE/?utm_medium=share_sheet

I've witnessed him making grey-haired grannies scream like teenagers at a rock concert, so...

And when you think that he works fulltime as an MD, too, it's even more amazing

Breathe. Remember to breathe. Sorry, after 4 years of stanning Yuzu, that is the only advice I have.

Because Yuzu's skating career is like an anime series that keeps getting new sequels...like Sailor Moon or one of those. Just when you think he's done, he comes back for more

Season 4? More like a series reboot, now. Or a sequel. Instead of: Mobile Suit Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Mobile Suit Gundam SEED etc, its Mushroom: Yuzuru Hanyu Begins Junior: Yuzuru Hanyu Grows 2012: Yuzuru Hanyu the Romeo Year SENIOR 1.O: Yuzuru Hanyu Abroad SENIOR 2.0: Hanyu Rises YUZURU IN SOCHI Yuzuru Hanyu Can't Lose The Agony and the Glory: Road to Pyeongchang with Yuzuru Hanyu REBIRTH: Yuzuru's Quest for 4A begins Metamorphosis: Yuzuru Goes to Beijing etc Next chapter will probably be "Immortal Blades: Yuzuru Continues" or some such...

It would be so nice...but I guess it's hard for an athlete to sit still, too.

Scrolling thru the pages and it looks there's a whole lot of new satellites on the Planet, so if you've just joined in the last few days, welcome!!!

this man, I swear! Look after your ankle please Yuzu! ❤

I think this is the coolest thing ever. It boils down to: Yuzu was destined to do 4A from the very start.

I think no one except for the Chinese skiers have raced at this course before, too, because the pandemic meant test events were cancelled. So that's probably adding to the challenges.

I heard. Couldn't watch because work. But to me it sounded like he had a moment of intense frustration because he was popping axels, and pushed a little bit too hard to get the 4A done, and fell really hard. Those are the times when I wish someone could tell him to hold up a bit, take a breath, and reset his thoughts, before he tries the jump that one last time too many. After all, no one wants to see him hurt himself in a moment like that. Because he's probably too focused to realize he needs that reset. Our hearts can only take so much.

Ack! Oh no Mikaela!

Have a look at this. Eileen Gu lands 4.5 rotations in freestyle aerials. I think it's a good sign for Yuzu - this may just become the 4.5 rotation Olympics

Welcome! Also, this is for the mods and the admins: i really love the new Olympic theme! It's so bright and peppy!

Welcome!! And I have no tips to offer, with Yuzu it's always a rollercoaster ride.

Wow, no pressure on Yuma at all for the team event, there, eh, JSF? Although they kind of don't have a choice...still. i think Yuma will handle it well.

Aw, Yuma is such a good kid. And he has excellent taste in role models. I still say that an all-Japan Olympic podium is not out of the question. Depending on how things go, we could be seeing all three of them get medals.

guys, it's ISU Figure Skating that picks the judging panel, not the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee

Oh my gosh, satellites...have you all seen this? https://twitter.com/TeamCanada/status/1487120088134299653?s=20&t=aebeOV3-nf_ZHXZSj6llGw
