About this: I was a Stojko fan back then, and he actually worked too hard. Towards the end of his career it became obvious that he had burnt himself out and aggravated too many injuries. I hope Ghislain is able to use that experience to prevent the same thing happening to Yuzuru.

In my case, it's PTSD after watching last season. That injury nearly finished me. Now I'm just happy he's still on the ice. And gold is gold, kuyashii or not. To me, the most important things about Yuzu's score in any competition is that he scores the highest overall. The rest simply doesn't matter to me. The judges could give him an overall score of 50 points and as long as they give everyone else 49.9 or less, I'll be happy with it.

They took really good care of security at ACI, I thought. Which was just as well. Most people were very cool and laid back, but some of the fanyus were definitely giving off scary stalker vibes.

Learning self-awareness is all part of growing up. Our boy is becoming a man...a ridiculously competitive, impossible athlete of a man. On another note: I got home from ACI and showed my mother some of the videos I took of Yuzu's practices at ACI. She was instantly intrigued and shocked by his jumps. She wanted to know how he could keep on skating after each jump "because you'd be so dizzy after leaping up and spinning around in the air that fast. You 'd have to take a moment to recover." You should have seen her face when I explained what Nessie is. Chalk up another Yuzu fan, even if she did pronounce his name 'Yazari Hanaru'.

So I think young Roman Sadovsky is about to discover that to share a podium with Yuzu is to become instant meme material...just sayin'.

I have to admit that despite my being wrong about ACI, I'm still betting on Nessie coming out sooner rather than later. Having just watched PJ Kwong's interview with Shae-Lynn where they both mention having seen him do it, I'm even more confident that he's going to bring it the second his physical condition allows. Therefore I'm now moving my vote to CoR. Helsinki may still be too soon

Well, he never said he was going to settle for less than his best. (And if he ever does, I'd be very very worried about him!)

This. I was thinking this too. He looks more the man in Origin, as opposed to the boy. And I even think Otonal is less androgynous than previous outfits and more masculine, though still elegant and pretty in that delightful Yuzu way. I also feel like the costume conveys a sense of Plushenko's influence still, without being too literal about it. Plushy's competition outfits often had that feeling of hidden, contained fires within, ready to blaze up in a second with right breeze... that's the feeling Origin gives me. It's the smoldering, searing coals of a carefully banked fire, just needing a whisper of air to fan into flames

Origin, definitely Origin. Although Otonal looks way better in person than in pictures.

And here I thought Otonal was the one that looked like a Shoma outfit...

I passed him on the way to the bathrooms. He's a very tall kid...I'd estimate 6' 3" or 4". It's wonderful seeing the very tall guys move around on the ice. They have what I can only describe as wingspan...their arms stretch out so far they're like beautiful cranes in flight
-
Oh, he's working so hard with his English! It's cute and admirable.

No. We actually walked in as the two ladies whose stuff had been moved were haranging the arena's customer service staff and threatening to call police. It seems they had left their stuff unattended for hours so some other line-waiters thought it would okay to move it....when they came back and saw their stuff had been moved, they freaked out and wanted to call the police because their stuff had been touched. I can understand the situation but leaving belongings to reserve a place in line is a bit unheard of here. You either occupy the space yourself/have someone occupy it for you, or give it up and move to the back of the line. In my opinion, this was as much a cultural misunderstanding as anything else

I didn't think to look while he skated by.

No, we were especially loud 😁

So if you all listen closely to the screaming at the end of Otonal ACI, and after the marks are announced, you can hear me and a few other satellites 🤣
-
Just saw his Otonal costume... it's basically a blue version of Haru yo Ko, without the sleeve flutters

Just a little field report from ACI: Evgenia looked incredibly beautiful, healthy and strong, won the SP, and I don't know what to think of the new scoring system. It takes the judges forever to tabulate the scores and the marks themselves seem very low across the board.

...but at least I didn't faint...

Waiting for Yuzu to take the practice ice... I feel vvery butterflies...

So I got curious about this, put Google to work, and there actually is a men's Cologne that has those scent notes: https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Hanae-Mori/HM-1579.html

That outfit on Yuzu? Stunning would be one way to describe it. All the aunties would faint dead away....
