indeed! That sounds like a life-changing injury to me.

OMG, OMG OMG!

Tbh, it probably worked out well in the sense that he most likely ended up leaving long after even the most ardent, die-hard fan had given up waiting for him.

Looks like Gabby and Roman are finally off the injured list and back in the saddle: https://skatecanada.ca/2019/10/eight-canadian-skaters-headed-to-finland-for-finlandia-trophy/

...Those manner hands! I wonder if Yuzu realizes that any Western person being hugged that way is going to automatically pull him in tighter... body language is such a cultural thing.

I love German. If it does't have the word you want, you can just make it yourself.

...and if the context is an arena during actual competition, screaming and cheering is expected. It's a sports event! And it's not like Yuzu is the very first skater anyone ever screamed and swooned over. I also think you're reading too much into Yuzu's behaviour. I was there in the arena sitting right beside the glass both days, and could see his expression clearly as he went by. I saw no irritation cross his face, only focus on his own skating. The one time he made commentary ( by his gestures) on fan behaviour while on the ice was when he highlighted Chris Caleza's skating during Chris's run-through.

Fact: the creator of Yuri On Ice has stated outright that she based Yuri on Tatsuki Machida. So Yuzuru doesn't match up with Yuri in any way (although there are definitely some articles out there saying he does). But I can see why someone who likes anime but doesn't know figure skating would think it is him.

Hmm. Just because they really should support her, doesn't mean they will. In its own way, gymnastics is even worse than figure skating when it comes to this type of thing.

....Eureka! We have discovered the method in Lotte's costume madness! Make Yuzu look bad so no one absconds with their advertising.

As funny as that is, I can't help feeling like that would upset Yuzu. He's all about giving other skaters their due. Anyway, looks like Hanyufication of scoring systems isn't limited to the ISU. Look what just happened to Simone Biles: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/more-sports/gymnastics-championships-simone-biles-penalized-for-being-too-good/ar-AAIltbN?li=AAggNb9

I have morbid curiosity as to why they think that this time, as opposed to all the other times they thought that and were wrong. To answer my own question, they are probably doing it for the clicks.

And not just him, and not just skating. I find all of this stuff so interesting, in every sport. How do you go from doing what everyone else at your level does, to doing what no one else can? It's a fascinating subject.

Hearing him say that he has to train carefully, without getting injured, for the 4A, actually reassures me a lot. And how he's calculated how much strength and effort is needed for everything. He's being super-scientific about getting this 4A. He should write a research paper when he's done. Something like Observations on the Process of Extreme Achievement in High Performance Sport .

Does that ( the speech bubbles) say that they look like dentists?

BJORKY BJORKY HANY BJORKY. I love the Swedish Chef! Next to Beaker, he's my favorite character!

I hope he does!!! The guy's got to be getting something from it. All the money in the world would not be enough!

The whole point of wikipedia is that anyone who wants to, can edit a page, so have at! I speak no Swedish beyond IKEA-isms so unfortunately I cannot be of help.

They probably only paid for Canadian broadcast rights.

Yuzu in the photo studio at Lotte: Oh my God! I can already hear the fans... Lotte stylist: What do you mean? Yuzu: Umm they get very creative in their ...ahem.... let's call it praise... of the design

This seems like a strange thing to bully someone over. Every coach I've ever known, in any sport, has always emphasized the importance of keeping up with school and getting an education. On the surface of it, there's nothing strange about Nobu insisting on this. I suspect this is only the tip of the iceberg...

Ah, now my eyes are cleansed.

At least his complexion looks normal in that one!
