"Over the past few years he has developed into an incredibly charismatic and extraordinary performer, even more so than he was before. He has a charisma that is so rare that you can feel it pouring out of his ears and nose. Yuzu's charisma was enough to transform the whole skating world. As soon as he steps onto the ice, there is nobody but him. He takes complete control of the moment. It's hard to put into words how and why that happens. But whatever it is, Yuzu 'has it'.

Shae-Lynn 'had it' as well. Her charisma was just incredible. In that sense, her influence on Yuzu goes beyond choreography. Shae's attitude towards practice and work, her detailed preparation, and the way she always radiated charisma. I feel that through the time they spent together, this aspect may have been transferred to him through their relationship."

Thank you, David. For working with him, for stepping back to let him find the right people, for working with him again. For all your five programmes. For your emotional response to him. And for your words about him and Shae that really gave me a new perspective.

I hope we will see him working with you again in the future.
