Probably something like 'Dude, no. Please no. Don't make me remember.' Jeff has mentioned publicly more than once how bad his nerves were in Torino. In fact, he made a piece about it for SOI Canada 2018.

I can't help but feel that the universe will do this to us at least once...if only to remind us not to be too full of ourselves...

That implies that, as wild and crazy and risky as we think some of Yuzu's competition layouts seem, he's actually toning them down compared to what the limits of his abilities really are. What seems crazy risky for anyone else, is, in fact, playing it safe for Yuzu. He's just that much over and beyond what others are capable of. Now that's a truly mind-blowing thought.

I hope it's true! he never did get it to where he wanted it to be.

Hmm. I'm not sure that a Yuzu Hanyu could happen in my country. I think someone like him could only come from Japan. Even if a similar inspiring figure arises in Canada (Terry Fox comes to mind), the feeling is different. I'm not sure I can explain this very well, but basically every country has it's own emotional/psychological 'personality' that shapes how they create heroes and, in turn, shapes the kind of hero they create.

What does he really think about all this - the fans, the fuss, the fame, the Hanyuconomy, the fact that he's become such a symbol/idol for so many? What does he think it says about our times and society?

Hanyuconomy is a real thing.

Note that he's aging in reverse as well.

Same. But who's to say she didn't say that? I think most moms would.

He said in interviews after Pyeongchang that he feels like his mom is fighting alongside him to win, and so it's also her medal as well as his.

He looks so good in this shade of pink. More pink, Yuzu. Please wear more pink.

Big Bird is a nice guy, he probably freely shared the feathers on the condition that Yuzu return them.

Now my mind will be lost to the gutter ALL DAY, thanks.

As long as it's warm and furry and likes being petted, I'm happy.

That's really wonderful! You might think a man of that age would hesitate to copy a frilly costume like that...but he went right ahead and did it.

I'm also geoblocked when I try to watch it.

What a great day. We got confirmation that Yuzu's going to do ACI, and my second niece was born (making me a fifth-time auntie.) My other niece is super-stoked to finally have another girl around.

Of course it will.

That wouldn't be bad. I never got to see Origin live the first time.

Probably not, but last time Skate Canada streamed it on their own website.

And quite possibly my firstborn, if I had one. But who's counting?

That would be worth All. The. Money.

This. You just know he wants to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he say in an interview somewhere that he thought it should be a summer sport athlete?

At least she uses colour!
