You know what I mean. He'd want to beat everyone for a third time fair and square.

Nice thought but I don't think he'd want to win that way...

Ugh. So many unknowns and variables for this situation... without getting into the politics of it, let me just say that I wonder about what Beijing 2022 will look like. China also needs to be in control of the virus in order to host. Either way, if both Tokyo and Beijing get cancelled, it might be the end for the Olympics as we know it. I hope not.

First I heard of it. I know the purse was given back LOL.

Hard to say, I don't think that many videos get posted for other skaters to start with.

Oh, it was Helsinki? Thanks for putting it right.

Same one! They were both Rostelecom '18. The carp: if you go back to the original tweet (below), and open up the thread and scroll down, you should see a picture of it. I tried finding video, but right now there's only shaky fancams of COR '18 that I can find. https://twitter.com/runrun8383/status/1283015754913247233?s=20

Yeah that too.

At this rate, the next K-Pop boy band will be all skaters, called SK8TER and their first big hit will be "My Heart Jumps 3A for You"...something like that...

I simply can't picture him doing Carmen being any hotter than Masquerade was. Anyway, given how much fun Yuzu has with things like Masquerade and flirtily teasing the crowd at FaOi with towels and so forth, I doubt he's averse to finding a partner, and he certainly understands his appeal. When he finds the person he likes, and he turns all that charm on them and them alone, - that person won't stand a chance.

Hard to imagine him sitting all alone in the stands like that and no one noticing him now...

A goal I can get behind, but it's a little early for that, no? Also, not really a fan's business, no matter how cute it would be.

Well I used autotranslate to scroll through the thread there, and quite a few of the Japanese replies are having fun mentioning the giant stuffed golden carp that was tossed to Yuzu at CoR...it was a pretty big carp, but I guess not big enough...

I was thinking the same thing!

My Japanese is just good enough that I think I can guess that the artist is making a pun. 'koi' means 'carp', but it also means 'love', and the first word is 'tarinai' - 'not enough'. So it says 'carp (love?) is not enough'. It also kind of plays off 'Haru yo Koi', at least to my English-speaking ear. I wonder if this is relating to Coach Tsuzuki's comment. Sorry for my amateur thinking out loud here. Feel free to tell me if I'm on the wrong track.

One HECK of a one! look at us all scratching our heads. Anyway, you'd have to be blind not to see that Yuzu is aflame with love. It practically blazes out of him every time he skates a program. Maybe it's not the intimate love of a conventional relationship between two people, but what's not romantic about it?

"I think what Hanyu lacks is (romantic) love" ----> Ice-chan begs to differ! I mean yes, she's the tsundere-est of tsunderes, the cruelest of cruel angels, but there isn't a shadow of a doubt that Yuzu loves her dearly. Just go look at the hydroblade in Haru Yo Koi. ice-chan plays coy, but she loves him back. **** Joking apart, and without wanting to speculate about Yuzu's private life, I can't help but wonder what Coach Tsuzuki meant. I can think of a few interpretations, the most obvious being that he's saying Yuzu has never fallen 'in love'. .

Exactly! I had no idea she was training a 3A and I'm not her fan but good for her.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through so much pain, My condolences on your aunt. I hope your grandfather and your friend recover fully and things improve. As for the Yuzu - Apollo comparison, very interesting! I find Greek mythology is interesting in that its gods are often depicted as behaving in very human (and sometimes inhumane) ways, in addition to having divine powers, with all that entails. Anyway, good catch on the similarities, it's a fun observation.

Welcome! the more, the merrier!

This is actually a much better term. You do not have to be a scientist to have a scientific mind. Some of the most observant and analytical people out there are artists, performers, and writers, for example. Or our own dear boy...if he's not a scientist of skating, I don't know who would be.

STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, Math ... I see @barbara beat me to it

Nothing wrong with that. I hope he decides to recycle Hip Hip Chin Chin too. That was really fun and he seemed so relaxed and comfortable doing it.

I don't know why but her doing this makes me feel uneasy. It shouldn't, but it does. It makes me feel like she's not planning to stick around skating very much more.

That's because so many of us are in STEM careers...seriously, I was blown away by the company I was in in Kelowna...the only satellites I met who were not in STEM, healthcare, or academia worked in finance. Oh, and one is a lawyer :). We are smart people and it cannot be denied.
