Well, if he does that, he might as well go for broke and do the most epic Michael Jackson song ever written - Billie Jean. Although I think Yuzu could totally slay Smooth Criminal.

A lot of smaller-sized women I know shop girl's sizes for exactly this reason. But the clothes aren't always suitable for an adult woman. Anyway, aside from being incredibly athletic, Yuzu has a mom who sews. So I wouldn't be surprised if she tailors his clothes sometimes. However, doesn't he usually have a hard time finding suit jackets he's not absolutely swimming in? I seem to recall that being a thing...

How about a T-shirt with a slogan across the belly that says "My other waist is a Hanyu" ?

You know how in a lot of his warm up videos, he does side planks? I always visualize a cat walking under him and choosing to sit there, trapping him in the upper position.

OhmiGAWD! No! No no no. Yikes! The "Hanyu shirt" T-shirts are great though.

There's this bridge in Brooklyn....

I just had a completely random thought.... anyone remember the old 'most interesting man in the world' Dos Equis commercials? What if Yuzu had an ad campaign like that? cue voiceover "His world records, break records. His manners are so good, Emily Post asks him for advice. Even his bragging is polite. Who is he? He is -" big dramatic pause "- the most space kitty skater in the World." Camera cuts to Yuzu with Pooh headband, giggling at the camera. Too silly?

A.k.a., even his bragging is polite.

Watching this, it looks like his pre-compete routine is to relax and take his mind off things (the ball and the goofing around), then pump himself up while raising his HR (the walking and lip-synching, rapid walking with arm circles), then thoroughly warm up all the muscle groups and skills he'll need (the walking backwards, the rolling around on the little stool thingy). I'd love to see the rest of the routine. Also interesting to watch what's going on with Papadakis and Cizeron in the corner there too. Incidentally, just judging from this video, Yuzu's shoulders are much more flexible and have greater range of motion than many a swimmer's. I wasn't expecting that.

I think these should be #181, and #182, guys. The last post before yours was reason #180 183. For being so extra we're able to generate #183 reasons to love him.

Thanks! And go you! Yay for not falling.

So I went for my first skate of the year yesterday, and decided to spend a bit of it trying out Yuzu moves (mostly just wanted to see if i could get into an Ina Bauer w/o falling on my butt). Reaffirmed: Everything he does on the ice is much, much more difficult than it looks. Also reaffirmed: @rockstaryuzu still can't skate backwards to save her life. ...but maybe one day I'll be able to do his edge exercises, as long as I stick to the right forward inside edge...

We'd all die happy. What more could a fanyu ask of life? On the topic of music, I think Yuzu would be able to do some amazing interpretation of Hendrix...think of how he could punctuate "Kiss the Sky" with quads. Or the step sequence that could fit the guitar solo in "All Along the Watchtower". But there's actually a current song which I think Yuzu could do a great job of:

I thought the same after seeing the opening jump during practice at ACI

Same. He's an annoyingly good influence. Every time I want to get lazy about something because of self-pity, he wanders through my mind and then I feel like I should just suck it up and get moving.

Because I think he loves it and I think it means a lot to him to do it perfectly at least once.

I'm jumping on the 'keep Origin' bandwagon, myself. IMO he hasn't performed that program the way he wants to, even once yet, and in my eyes it's the program that most clearly expresses who he is as a competitor and a person.

Right, so let's all start praying for Yuzu to have good health and no injuries now...build up some good energy early...just in case!

While I agree with not spreading a sneak video, I'm torn because I missed seeing it before it got taken down. Very glad to hear that Yuzu is back to good form though...

Well, as Yuzu would say, Number One is Number One, doesn't have anything to do with size . But it is funny. However, I don't think Eric has ever lifted him. At least, not on camera. It would be epic if he had.

Honestly, I think it's the fact that Eric acknowledges him as the boss of everyone.

I have no idea why this makes me so happy...I just know that it does.

TBH I pictured something similar...

Mamma Mia!!! I die!

I love those. Especially the ones where it's a little kid and the file is nearly as big as them.
