    A bit of hope for all of you regarding Yuzu making it back to Toronto.  I think there is a way.  Right now the EU is open to travelers from Japan.  The way clear.  At the same time Canada is open to travelers from the EU.  The way clear there.  There's a bit of subterfuge in the arrangement, but particularly if Yuzu and mother self-quarantine in Europe he should then be able to make it to Toronto.  I think particularly because of his prominence and the necessity of getting to his training quarters he might just be able to pull it off.  We'll have to wait and see.

     

    Canada is not open to any travelers right now, not even from EU (unless you're a citizen or PR) so I don't think it's even an option. One of my colleagues (with a working permit) is still "stuck" in Europe, waiting to be allowed in Canada.

    Yuzu is nominated for TCCAsia’s most handsome faces of 2020! Not sure how to vote though? Do you just like the post on instagram?

     

    ETA: according to google translate you have to follow the page on instagram, and like and comment on the Yuzu post!

     

    I have a soft spot for the hakama :tumblr_inline_n2pje2TPZt1qdlkyg:

    Throwback to previous years

    And oh no, did someone stalk Yuzu before???

     

    Unfortunately there have been some incidents. It's why many of us value his privacy so much.

    Now I feel bad about sharing this video myself earlier. Let's give views to the original one instead! :angrypooh:

    The Yuzu waist moment has 1.9M view on youtube already XD

     

    I've just been informed that this video with 2M was actually stolen from the original (see below) and that it might be the same person who was stalking Yuzu previously. So, maybe let's not promote that channel? (I just deleted my own tweet about it)

    Done :wink_star:

  6. Not new, I believe it's from the Ciontu behind-the-scenes but it's too adorable not to share (Jeff looks so gentle)  :cri:

    Is it worthwhile registering in Twitter to post something in Tatar?😂

    I'm sure one of us can spare you and transfer your message :laughing:

  7. I love seeing the answers/RT to this tweet.

     

    So far I've seen English, Turkish, Malay, French,  Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Indonesian, Arabic, 

    Hindi, Tagalog, Chinese, Croatian, Spanish and Greek.

    (No Japanese yet :laughing:)

  8. The main positive take I get from his video is that Skate Canada seems to be taking things with a lot of caution. I was hoping that the fact that they're taking their time commenting about the situation meant that they're considering everything carefully before making any announcement, and it seems to be the case. So, good if they learned their lesson after the fiasco that was the management of worlds.

     

    But overall, I find him very optimistic. Good for him to be in a country that is doing well and can "afford" to have competitions (I'm not being sarcastic, I mean it, I'm glad for every country/skater who is in a position to have competitions). I can agree with domestic competitions if safety can be assured. That can't be generalized though. I'll keep coming back with Skate America that should not be held in Las Vegas. 

     

    As for comparing with other sports, the USTA is now asking tennis players who wants to play at the US Open to sign a waiver declaring they "voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risk including serious illness or death". So call me cynical if you want but I hardly believe that all sport governing bodies have the best interest of athletes at heart when there are monetary implications. The ISU hardly has the best track records in the matter. I don't I need to remind anyone here that they were heavily promoting packing 1K people indoors for a pointless social event mere days before worlds was cancelled (which showed that they basically had no safety protocol whatsoever) and refused to cancel the junior synchronized championships on week later (and we know that an infected person attended). We're now about 6 months into the pandemic and the ISU is still saying "we'll meet next month to discuss safety measures". How reassuring.

     

    Right now things seem to be mostly under the control of national federations. So good for Roman if Skate Canada is responsible, but it takes a lot of trust to assume that every federation will "do what's best" for everyone (not just for the skaters).
