I feel like all these copycat costumes the junior skaters pick are as if they were asking 'Yuzu, lend me your power to skate well'.... it's so cute.

Oh my God, just when I think he couldn't slay me any further...he wants to thank and congratulate fans because their support for him produced results? God bless this child. No one else on the whole planet, probably, thinks that way. Only him. Feelings, I has them in spades right now...

To quote Evgenia from one of her interviews "There is so much wildlife (in Toronto), at first I think I am living in a zoo!"

He'd do it for the laughs, at least. 🤣

Oh it would look lovely, but the part where Shoma would nod off in the middle of a jump strains credulity. On the ice, skating, is actually the one time we all know for sure he's awake.

Ah now you're just getting carried away....

Oh my God, what is this?!! Zu, you're killing me! Too much!

It could be a whole series with Shoma nodding off on the ice, in the kiss and cry, at the gym, on the team bus, etc etc, and Yuzu being the good senpai and taking care of him every time.

They could do the ads together: Scene: Shoma asleep at the dining table during a team dinner. Yuzu walks in, plumps a fluffy pillow under Shoma's head. Yuzu: Does sleep overtake you in the strangest of places? With our new extra fluffy super-duper Yuzudown model, sleep anywhere, anytime! Your head will land as lightly as my triple axel with this cozy pillow. All for a good night's -er, dinner's - sleep. Tell 'em, Shoma! Shoma: ZZZzzz...snkkrkk....zzzzz Fade out on Yuzu gently and awkwardly patting Shoma's sleeping shoulders.

'cuz he's a prince like that. Of course.

Hey it could be worse... I kind of like the garbage pants...

I kinda love that he advertises mattresses and pillows and things...it seems a natural fit somehow

I know I wouldn't, given the chance...but I also wouldn't want it to get weird either...

Roman's also just a kid, only 17 (?). Imagine being only 17 and getting to share a podium with THE top guy in your sport. Roman was remarkably poised, under the circumstances...:)

Just in case anyone is interested, the first vids from the Thank You Canada tour are up on YT. Looks like a fun show, even if the poster who put them up seems to only follow mostly only what Tessa and Scott are doing. Search on YT for 'TTYCT Abbotsford' and you'll find it.

Oh d-d-dear...(insert fearfulness Piglet clutching Pooh for protection here)

And here I thought we were live satellites in his orbit... No matter what it is, Zu's definitely a source of life for us!!! More please!! And @Frenchkiss70, yes, make sure your affairs are in order and you've said your last goodbyes. Just in case Full Power Zu makes an appearance.

Dead satellites everywhere! Get the smelling salts LOL. Does that mean we're undead now? Have we all become Yuzuzombies?

Oh my goodness! Be still my heart! What an image.

That's frightening, because it means that he hasn't, yet. Will we even survive?

But he wears suits that don't know where his arms end...it all balances out!

I agree with you - that performance is gut-wrenching in the extreme.

Earlier than the last quad? In that case it has to be Parisien Walkways, because that was the performance that first made me notice him. But I find when I watch it these days, all I can see is how far he's come since then and how much his skating has progressed. If it's any program at all, then GPF LGC. Because if I'm not mistaken, that's the cleanest performance of that program. And that program is absolute dynamite. Probably the best thing Jeffrey Buttle's ever choreographed.

Oh my sainted Pooh. is that a joke? Are these people actually watching the same Nathan Chen we are? Wow. If so, it's a shame that he keeps holding back so much. 🙄

See now, I would have pegged Chen as a skater people say isn't balletic enough. Guy looks like he never had a day's dance training in his life, and it's because his lines are often sloppy. Likewise with Zagitova, even at the Olympics. Although she was literally playing a ballerina, her elbows and knees were sticking out when they shouldn't have been, and her posture would sometimes collapse. I know just enough about ballet to know what people should look like when they're being 'balletic'. To my mind, Jason Brown actually exemplifies the term. And Yuzu has almost perfect lines but IMO when he was younger he would get carried away by his music and get a little wild and lose control of his arms a bit. Also, @kaeryth : Yuzu is unquestionably a genius. He has all the criteria for it. I approve of this poll.
