Oh yuck.

If he pulls a Rika and shows off his 4A practice, I'll need smelling salts. At the very least.

He has stated in the past that if it weren't skating, it would be baseball, I believe. If you look closely at the On Ice Perspectives video of the 2019 SCI gala practice, you can see Yuzu hanging out by the boards with Keiji at one point and miming playing ball.

Thanks to the randomness of Google, I just came across this gem of an article from the 2017 Worlds. Poor Javi! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/01/sports/dazzling-free-skate-lifts-yuzuru-hanyu-to-world-title.html

and also, "here's a picture of me with cats!" or, for a dramatic plot twist, 'I also like dogs!'

It'd be more than just a few days at this point. And if Han Yan can keep a cat, why not Yuzu?

I have to agree. Unlike in many other countries, beauty contests aren't exactly taken seriously here... I fail to see how competing in one would bring any benefit.

I can't help but wonder if this means she's giving up skating. I hope not.

Yeah some beauty blogs would be wonderful right now. Would love to see how he's going to top 'I like cats.' Come to think of it, if Yuzu wanted a cat, now might just be the right time to get one. When else will he have this much non-skating time available to give to a pet?

I'm a little bit more in the 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst' camp. That way, if I'm wrong, I can be pleasantly surprised, and if I'm right, I'll have had time to prepare and I won't be crushed by the disappointment

For figure skating in particular, this will be one of the major limiting factors. I don't expect the borders to re-open any time soon.

That last paragraph is very exciting. I think she'd be the first Canadian woman with a 3A, if she can get it.

Argh! Yeah, one step too far for me. Now she's gone and done it. Oy, Evgenia, come on! edited to add: Did a bit more Googling on this. Apparently some Russian fan sites are saying someone figured out her hotel info and leaked it, among other things...and Russian tabloid press have picked up the story and presented it in the worst possible light...I have mixed emotions. I still don't agree with her actions but she does not deserve to be vilified and stalked.

I like the rhythm changes, it gives you a chance to see details you wouldn't otherwise

Are we all talking about the same thing? The last Yuzu jump in the video? Is it the stag leap? I thought for sure it was that giant delayed axel he did when he wanted to show the 4A and the coaches told him no...

Holy crap, that giant delayed axel! It's so big! Love that Jordan caught so many of the other skaters as well.

More than once! Kevin made it to the podium with Yuzu 3 times this year, right? ACI, NHK, and GPF? He had such a great early season.

I like his style...recipe looks really yummy and easy.

where did you get it from? I think Shoppers is the only retailer I've found in Canada, and you have to order online from them

For maximum efficiency, just assume Yuzu knocks me dead whenever he does almost anything.

I would love to know their reaction if you told them it was a guy LOL. Although your story is reminding me that Yuzu's debut as Kose's global muse got postponed because of the pandemic

No, it's the good-natured sense of humour he's putting on display

Raise your hand if this video made you fall in love with Keiji, even just a little bit 🙋

I feel the same. Some of the Twitter stuff, in particular, has seemed to be about attacking her personally, instead of pointing out that she's making an error in judgement.

We all should save our money for better cameras. Nearly every shot and video I've done of Yuzu looks like it was recorded on a potato ☹️
