Is it today that the ISU was going to release a decision about the GP?

At the beginning of the pandemic, I wasn’t exactly the most careful person... of course, I didn’t do things like gather in large groups and throw parties, but I wasn’t being super mindful about washing my hands and not touching my face etc. But with Yuzu’s statements, I’ve started being really careful with these things, and like him, I’m wearing a mask as much as possible and always disinfecting my things whenever I come back home. Thank you, Yuzu maybe because of your example, I could have prevented myself or someone else from getting infected.

I highly doubt this, he still has a certain jump to land and just a few days ago said it’s his priority...

For someone who loves skating and competing more than anything, who still wants to compete even when he is injured, this must have been such a difficult, difficult decision for him, since he knows this decision won’t affect just himself, but also that of so many others. Yuzu and all of us are surely upset that we can’t see him but this is for the best. I wonder when, and how, everything will go back to normal again...

No problem! So it’s not Yuzu, not Shoma, not Jackson Yee either haha we were all wrong

Oh dear, would this be bad for the sport in general and all the skaters though?

thank you again axelwithwings

I was in the Weibo group chat (you have to be in that chat to enter the contest) and there are 1759 members... I wanted to join but chickened out at the last minute so I guess everyone else did the same XD

Honestly the fact that they said 4 characters and dancing on ice (heavily implying it’s a figure skater, I can’t think of anyone else who would be dancing on ice) makes it almost certain it’s a Japanese figure skater because the majority of Chinese names usually have 2 or 3 characters while many Japanese names have 4 characters. Yuzu fits the description best but yes, it might be Shoma too!

Hmm...... the description sounds so much like him but the silhouettes don’t look like him at all (click on the links) One thing that caught my eye is that they used the phrase 翩若惊鸿, which is the exact phrase one of the chinese commentators used to describe Yuzu’s grace, during what I believe was 2018 olympics iirc! Very thin piece of evidence though

https://m.weibo.cn/5618904028/4542238736000816 The guy has posted that he will film an unboxing video+thoughts on winning in a few days, so keep an eye on his Weibo profile!

Come to think of it, I’m not sure if Lu Xun actually said that, or he is just joking XD

The winner just confirmed he is indeed a fanboy! He commented on his own post “Sorry fangirls, this fanboy here is getting the autograph” XD He also quoted Chinese writer Lu Xun: “The reason you like women is because you haven’t met a man that moves you” XD Fun fact: according to wiki, Lu Xun’s alma mater is Tohoku University in Sendai! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Xun Since some people were speculating that he was doing it for his girlfriend haha

Woah, that’s one dedicated fanboy! That pool of sweat... Honestly I’m quite curious how long Yuzu himself can plank for hehe but don’t think he’ll ever tell us...

If anyone wants to just listen to this on replay...

uwu So yuzu does want us to exercise at home!

Haha but he said “a special love for a special you!” That’s even better hehe

you can watch it on instagram too!

wait what’s this

Admit it, we all blushed at that last line! For some context, today is the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar, which is Qixi festival, also known as Chinese valentine’s day. According to Chinese folklore, two lovers, Niulang and Zhinu are separated on both ends of the Milky Way, and only on this day every year, thousands of magpies form a bridge across the Milky Way for the two to cross and meet. So today is the day they meet! Quite befitting for us too considering all the droughts we get... you can read more about the story here: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/holidays/chinese-valentines-day-story-cowherd-weaver-girl.htm

Yuzuru blinked 25 times in 36 seconds... according to wikipedia the average adult blinks 10 times a minute XD

<3

Omg August has been such a wild ride?? Throughout the first half we were all drying out and nearly giving up hope that Yuzu will even appear, and then C-chan gives us 7 days of Yuzu crumbs, and then Yuzu drops the plank bomb and the thesis bomb, and now the 4A bomb???

Actually all these sounds doable, if it was Yuzu doing it (maybe after he retires from competition), in a post-pandemic world.

If Yuzuru wrote this it would actually be true XD
