Yuzu is my zen.

Lacks speed? What? You don't think Nathan's SP was overscored? Go back and watch it again.

Any 2022 Olympics boycott is going to depend on what happens with how things go down in Hong Kong - probably more so than the human rights issues regarding the Uyghur. Hong Kong, any moves on Taiwan, more moves in the So China Sea and religious genocide. Hong Kong is far more important to the Biden administration than it was 4 months ago. I don't know what other countries might boycott purely on the destruction of democracy in Hong Kong - certainly not Russia - but it is a very real possibility.

He can do the 3A in his short -

He does more than just "not hurt" a fly. Yuzu has done an amazing amount of work and dedicated royalties from books, etc., and sales of his stuff to the reconstruction from the earthquake of 3/11. He donates enormously in both time and money. He is generous and a bright light.

Nathan Chen is athletic and has good, if stiff, jumps. But that's not reason he beats Yuzu. It's the biased scoring. Pure and simple.

Not done- I don't think they've ever changed the location of the games, but for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, The US did boycott and didn't sent a team.

Jihnny has been complete trash for sometime now.

In a translation of Yuzu's comments to Sponichi News - "My mistakes were not as huge as the points I lost" being the first time I've read him saying what the rest of us have been saying for years. He isn't saying it in so many words but he does know he's chronically underscored.

There is also plenty of talk here that the US will boycott them.

No half hoping ! Full hope that he in in Toronto before September and at ACI!!!!!!

Yuzu won't mess with ISU. He's destined to mentor younger skaters and then become Prime Minister of Japan. Also - there is speculation that the US will boycott the Beijing Olympics because of the massive human rights abuses (the Uyghurs) and their horrific destruction of Hong Kong's independence and democracy while threatening Taiwan. And incursions into the So China Sea. Wouldn't it be something (and really sad for the athletes) of we did boycott?

Was he standing right next to us or what? I could have shot this from where I was (though I do see me for a mili-second, so I didn't shoot this - just saying.)

Wow.

I love this -

Are you surprised? He who skates the 3A like no one else can't even get a 4.0 GOE from these biased judges.

WRONG LINK - sorry - it's this https://twitter.com/bebesho17/status/1374414126970118162?s=19

Can anything be better that Japanese television promoting Jun with BTS as the music? https://www.instagram.com/p/CMy5jnMJoMe/

Does anyone know if there has been confirmation that Jun is in Stockholm???? I have seen zero updates on him.

Shoma may have arrived at a separate time, and likely from Switzerland. (He sent Emma "back" to Japan last week.) And I hope Yuzu can avoid the press at the airport altogether.

The earthquake in Feb was an aftershock of 3/11. Aftershocks from a quake the size of 3/11 will continue to occur for decades.

ANA has probably cancelled direct flights to lots of places over the past year (as have most major airlines) but I am hoping they make some sort of accommodation for Worlds - for Yuzu and all the other skaters flying from Japan. Having to switch flights in different airports would just add exhaustion and the chance of being exposed to the virus. ANA has a special relationship with Yuzu and I hope they do this for him.

Who could not like him? He's brilliant and generous. What's not to like?

No way on the 4A. He hasn't even seen his jump coach in person for over a year. Ghislain would have a heart attack. And no matter how mellow the music is, he's going to be tired at the end of his skate. The 4A will take a lot of energy. I don't want him hurt. He doesn't want another injury. Better to wait until he's had time to train in Toronto for a number of months and he can spring it on is next season.

This is hilarious.
