No, he stayed in Toronto after his left foot injury was revealed in 2016. He stayed off the ice for good three and half months then. The same with the ligament injuries, he stayed around ten days in Japan after the first one happened, then went to Toronto. The same with the second injury on the same foot in 2018. It seems that he stayed in Japan for his rehabilitation after the Olympics, but this is Yuzu, no knowing where he was exactly. Why are we so hung up on where he was? Because someone wants to gloat at Brian?

It’s a long protracted story. I was there at GS when Boston happened, and god, did Brian get his share of hate! Most were certain Yuzu would leave him ASAP after his defeat at the Worlds. He never did. In fact he started spending most of his time in Toronto - before then he had been a peripatetic student sharing his time between Canada and Japan. Then in autumn 2016 the story went like Tracy was the supportive one (since Yuzu said Tracy talked to him), Brian was an unfeeling git pushing his favourite Javi in front of Yuzu for that Olympic gold. And so on, and so on, so on. After years of this shit I grew a very thick hide. These are all grown-up people, they are sure to have their ups and downs, they might even go separate ways. But while they were working together, it’s ridiculous to try and deny the contributions they made to each other’s careers and successes. All of them deserve respect. Can you read?

How come you didn’t realise you said exactly the same thing I did? Yes, he does need Toronto-based doctors at the very least. And whatever you say, Kikuchi wasn’t the one who treated him for a number of injuries - which was the way you made it sound. Possibly without realising you did.

It wasn’t Kikuchi who treated him from that injury in 2016, it wasn’t Kikuchi he turned to when he had two ligament injuries. Stop contorting the facts. Kikuchi was very helpful as a physiotherapist at the competitions, but the core of medical assistance Yuzu used during his latest years was Toronto-based. Kikuchi was never there when Yuzu trained at TCC.

Excuse me, I’d like to remind you about the rules. No mud-throwing is allowed.

No, Masquerade has nothing to do with any anime.

Happy 21st Birthday to Kaori Sakamoto!

Just as I did after Yuzu skated. I just switched off. At Skate Canada 2019 Piper and Paul, the winners at Dances, skated later than Yuzu, because they were locals.

I was shocked in the morning, so ran here to give the gist. His nonverbal language is even louder.

Yuzu'd still very loyal. One of the reasons why we love him dearly. I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps his allegiance to Johnny.

Excuse me, did he really change his idols?

The interview is just freshly out, Mishin speaks at around 16.15 about Yuzu here. No doubt it will be translated, but unfortunately it won’t be me. Gotta work. Work sucks. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

This will surely be reported later, but Mishin was super complimentary towards Yuzu in an interview, saying that he awes people as a skater and as a personality. He mentioned his courtesy, his devotion to the sport, his introspective skating which can in its best forms grip people, his out-of this world divine figure which is ideal for jumps, but his jumps isn’t the only reason why he is popular, it’s down to his personality, which makes him godlike. He called him “Uzuri Hanyu” though. LOL Adding up: “People ask what he is interested in. But he isn’t interested in anything earthly. He skates and lives in another dimension. Even his build is heavenly, he is incredibly slender, those arms and legs...””” This post has been tagged by Fay as [NEWS].

New collaboration?

I take it that the Japanese media is starting to ask questions how the jump combo on the left got 2.85GOE, while the combo on the right only got 2.17? Or at least I hope so...

Guys, does anyone know when this was done?

So basically, he was in two minds about going to the Worlds right to the end. Can’t have been an easy choice to come. @SuzyQ

Please please please don’t engage. That’s what they want. To twist things to fit the picture they want to depict.

The good thing - we will be seeing Yuzu again. The bad thing - Yuzu should be resting....

I think you’re referring to that Japanese documentary about Zhenya, when she was dealing with the stress fracture.
