Very interesting talk about the difficulties of the 4A. Yuzu is truly discovering completely new territories here. May he succeed and fulfill all his goals and dreams... and stay healthy and happy doing it! [NEWS]

But Yuzu would never, ever apply anything but the perfect and proper technique. He would never compromise on quality. And that's one of the things we love and admire so much about him.

This senior correspondent of CNN Philippines is a true Fanyu. This is exactly what I thought when I saw the Olympics tweet. Yuzu is already THE greatest. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

All these people who have worked with Yuzu are so in awe of him. [NEWS]

So many good wishes for Yuzu and his feet and legs. May you stay healthy and happy and may you achieve your dreams and goals, Yuzu. [NEWS]

Yeah, like it's so hard to find information about him on Google or something.

This fanart is absolutely gorgeous!

LOL!

ETA: Fortunately, there is still a true expert like Max who talks about the unfairness and incorrect application of the current scoring and judging system as it is. [NEWS]

I think Chinese media definitely see Yuzu as the greatest star of this Olympics. [NEWS]

So many good wishes for Yuzu from all over the world! [NEWS]

OMG! More ANA Yuzu bear cookies! These are sooo cute!

That's what I'm thinking, too. He sounds and looks confident. I guess he's already landed the 4A cleanly. Perhaps he can even already land it on a regular basis. I'm so grateful that Yuzu is getting so much support from other great athletes and experts. It feels like everything is coming together for him. Exciting times are ahead of us.

This also tells me that Mishin probably knows how close Yuzu is.

It's good to hear that he's excited. [NEWS]

I think the unfair judging system might be the main reason why Yuzu started to take such an interest in AI technology for scoring figure skating. Throughout the years, especially during the last quad, he has probably been the most screwed over skater and got constantly underscored while certain other skaters got overscored. I'm afraid the ISU will fight the implementation of new technology with both their hands and feet. But the existence of a working AI scoring system is already a big step forward. It shows that this kind of technology is ready to be used and not some far off theoretical idea. Even though this AI won't be used to score the competition at the Beijing Olympics, I think the organizers will still use it, even if it's just to try it out and show the extent of their technical prowess. Hopefully, they will also publish the data for the whole world to see. This gives me hope that judges will be under more scrutiny during the Olympics. I have a feeling that Yuzu will keep competing for a few more seasons. I don't think he would want to bow out without getting at least a couple more rounds of thundering applause and cheers from full ice rinks and Pooh rains.

I love how Yuzu is getting an all-star team of legends involved in his quest for the 4A. He's a true leader who knows how to inspire the best people to support him.

I can't even imagine the pressure Yuzu must be feeling. It's no wonder that he's anxious about it. But if there's anybody who can overcome his fear and be the best he can be, it's Yuzu. He has already experienced great disappointments and injustice and he has come back even stronger. I believe he's so focused and has such a strong mind that he can blend out all distractions when it matters. Stay healthy and happy, Yuzu! We are always with you no matter what.

I believe most judges - and the ISU - know very well that Yuzu is superior in every way. After all, judges are trained to see these things. If even we as normal fans can see the obvious differences in quality, then trained experts must see them. But unfortunately, it's one thing to see and know that Yuzu's quality is higher and another thing to actually act on this knowledge and give him the rewards he deserves. I think this is the reason why the ISU is so reluctant to introduce any kind of modern technology to aid in scoring and judging. The more technology is used, the more objectivity there is. This means that the ISU, certain feds, and judges would lose the power to shower their favorites with candies and give them preferential treatment. I wonder how the ISU will react to the AI technology for scoring figure skating that was recently launched. How much longer can they hold on to their corruption and power games with the existence of such tech?

I'm sure Yuzu would have a great interest in this technology. Please note the sentence "...thus, achieving stable and visualized competition judging." The question is, would the ISU and various national feds even be willing to implement fair and unbiased judging and scoring? After all, this kind of technology would take away their power to manipulate competition results according to their will and preferences.

And Shizuka is right! Yuzu's accomplishments will never go away, just like we will always love and cherish him no matter what. [NEWS]

Chinese gymnast Yile Chen is not only a Fanyu, but also a Yuzu fan artist. Amazing! Her fan arts are really nice. These elite gymnasts really have good taste.

This is so funny! Without a doubt, Yuzu has great popularity and great presence in social media without even having any social media account. I sometimes wonder how many followers he would have if he did have an account. I think probably dozens, if not even hundreds of millions.

I agree. Yuzu has gained so much experience in training and coaching himself in the last few years that he will be perfectly fine even without coaches by his side. Either way, he knows what's the best solution for him. I think perhaps this is also a precaution for him to come in contact with as few people as possible. With the Omicron variant spreading so fast and the Covid restrictions being so strict in China, every athlete has to be extra careful. It must be so difficult to prepare for the Olympics while doing everything you can to avoid getting infected. This is a lot of stress for every athlete on top of the pressure of competition. If there's anyone who can handle this enormous pressure under these difficult circumstances, it's Yuzu. Let's send him our love and positive energy and hope and pray that he stays healthy and happy in every way.

Yes! Yuzu is really someone who restores my faith in humanity and reminds me that there is good, beauty, and joy in this world again and again.
