I use mine to store the other Hanyu things fanyus have given me at competitions, like photos and postcards!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, SATELLITES!! (and Yuzu )

Honestly I don't know, I've only seen chatter and discussion on fan sites, nothing official, which is why I suggested to check, just in case.

Check the dates, though - isn't he supposed to doing something with the Tokyo Olympics almost around the same time as FaOI usually is? Makes me wish I had the budget to go. I've always wanted to see a bit of China, and going to see Yuzu skate would be the best excuse ever. Oh well, Beijing 2022 is coming...

Welcome to the Planet! Great first post!

Google translate just told me that a Twitter caption written in Japanese said that Dai and Yuzuru are planning to take up ID together. I'm pretty sure that's not what it says in the original Japanese...thanks Translate for the amusing mental image though.

Okay, here: " Dear Mr. Hanyu, It's been wonderful watching you skate so far. Thank you for continuing to do so. Please continue skating and competing as long as you want to. Know that all of us, your fans, will support you, even though we worry about you and pray for your health. I can't thank you enough for all the joy you've brought to my life, just by watching you from afar. And not so afar - I was very privileged to watch you skate in person at ACI 2019 and SCI 2019, and will be in the arena cheering for you from the high rows, section 116, for Worlds 2020. You make us all proud to be your fans. Do what you want to do in skating, go as far as you can think of (safely - let's have no more injuries.) Do all the things that only you can do. With my best regards and lots of loud cheering and poster-waving, rockstaryuzu" How's that?

I've never seen Santa in quite this light and I don't think I'll be able to think of him (Santa) the same way again...in a good way but a very weird way. This definitely has Lotte/Ghana beat, hands down. What if all of Yuzu's sponsors are competing to create the most, er, memorable image of him that they can?

I don't know what to think of this photo. On the one hand, it makes me laugh because it's a comedic photo. On the other hand, I'm totally bewildered by the concept and trying to figure out when exactly they took Yuzu to a snowy mountaintop to shoot this...

Exactly. or, if it's something you don't want to bring up in public, DM the satellite in question and have your discussion that way. and you're welcome. Anyway. Also

It's all of that, and his dignity and humanity.

Thanks. I'm just sharing a lesson learned.

Hey, satellites! This is somewhat of a topic change, but please everyone remember to be careful what you post. It's a public forum and exceedingly easy for folks to casually screenshot any portion of what we say and post it elsewhere. Even if it's something that the mods hide later, for the time that it's up, your words can be taken and twisted way out of context. So please post with caution.

He looked on the verge of being sick to his stomach as he took his opening position, actually.

At least the colours suit him on this one!

I find it interesting thAt they didn't do a cover shoot and instead used photos of him in his natural plumage, so to speak... Or maybe they couldn't find any better or more fashionable outfit than Origin 2.0.

I noticed it was right before the 4T with the crazy saved landing

It does look like Cusack! From Grosse Pointe Blank, maybe?

They look like a group of fledgling salarymen at their company orientation day. Someone needs to teach Shoma how to properly arrange collar over tie...

I think it's way too soon to make that assumption!!

I love this interview, for so many reasons. You can really see what it means to be Yuzu when he talks about Nathan challenging him ( just like Yuzu once challenged Patrick, it would seem)

Nope, but if she can hang in for a year or two and stay within striking distance of the top, an opportunity might open up for her. Also, why on earth do people think you have to get quads young? The very first ratified quad toe was jumped by a guy who was already 22 years old - a veritable uncle in today's terms. Probably like most sports skills, age only matters a small amount. If you have the muscle and physique and stamina and are able to retrain muscle memory to learn the skill, there's no good reason for it to be impossible for any age skater.

I was particularly taken with Mishin's attitude, he's trying to stay out of it and had some salty words for the whole mess.

Of course you're correct. On the other hand, it is hard to ignore because of what it says about the way they do things.

In fact, reading what he wrote, it would seem we weren't dramatic enough. I didn't save the link, but someone posted on Twitter that a sport journalist even contacted Putin's press secretary looking for a comment on Plush vs Tutberidze. Crazy times.
