Tissue box

Tissue box (2/67)

  1. I see some others' reports, maybe try it on mobile instead of website.
  2. He is invited in the Gala, the Gala list is published already. People asked JOC if Yuzu will accep the offer and join the gala, JOC is not sure/ nothing to tell.
  3. I was crying when I read Nobu's message. I think I can only recover from it if Yuzuru moves on and finds meaning in this misfortune when he looks back.
  4. Hahaha, we are the FAWNING FANS! So true.
  5. I changed my mind after knowing there will only be one OP in the main rink before 8 Feb, which is on 5th. If we are not going to see Yuzu tomorrow... then he will only have one time to practice on the main rink, which is right before the SP on 8th. I am getting anxious now.
  6. Hahaha, since he is not going to Team event, I reset my expectation on 5th Feb to see him! I will just chill out for these two days, before the storm comes in.
  7. Wow, so proud of all the Fanyus who voiced out. How I wish we could also protect Yuzu from unfair scoring !
  8. In a fair world, nobody could beat Yuzu's two clean skates with 4A (IMO even without 4A), Yuzu knows about it. If he nails it but still loses to Nathan, it will just show how ridiculous the scoring system is right now. To me, all I care about is if Yuzu could be satisfied about himself and happy. These four years have been pretty tough for Yuzu, mentally and physically. I can't even imagine how could he keep challenging his physical limits while enduring injuries after injuries, let alone the enormous mental pressure to fight on two grounds, the unknown 4A and the unfair competitions. Skating god, please, protect him and give him what he deserves.
  9. So glad you find your passion in these two things. I am actually a PhD in international relations . My love for Yuzu leads me to figure skating world, which turns out to be an interesting area to watch in terms of international politics. I know there is politics in sports, but I guess following figure skating closely really shows me how it works. Just a recent example, (to my ignorance), I just knew the Olympic fs schedule is tailored to American audience, even at the cost of the convenience of the athletes. But in my ideal mind, sports should be the purist place for human being to challenge its limit and we should all protect the athletes who represent us to challenge the human limit. But of course, I was too naive.
  10. Hey guys, the Olympic schedule is finally finalized. Here is the schedule for us, in Beijing time: ,Team Men Short: 4 Feb, 09:55-14:55 Team Men Free: 6 Feb, 09:30-12:40 Men Short: 8 Feb, 09:15-13:30 Men Free: 10 Feb, 09:30-13:40 Other schedule can be found here Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games Competition Schedule
  11. Indeed! I somehow have an impression that Nathan is not that unpopular in Russia. But never mind, as long as Yuzu is the first.
  12. Hahaha, after seeing who are at the end of the list, I am sure fellow fanyus did their job. (My guess the editor of the poll is a big fanyu by putting the downvote function along with the upvote)
  13. I heard Yuzu trains at late night, can be 2am or 3 am in Sendai, because the rink is usually occupied during the day and evening. Is that true? I just can't imagine how hard it is to train in late night and in cold winter. But maybe a silver lining is he can have real time conversation with TCC.
  14. I was thinking about it. Is there any psychological factor contributing to it? Why Yuzu tends to underperform in Nathan's presence while Nathan tends to outperform in Yuzu's presence? is it the mentality of "I can't afford making any mistake" when facing Nathan that actually plays a negative role? I think Yuzu needs a psychological "breakthrough" when face Nathan again in Olympics after 4 consecutive defeat to Nathan. Maybe 4A is the psychological breakthrough that Yuzu needs and he knows it. Pyschological factor plays a huge huge role in the Olympics. I read a reddit post discussing whether Yuzu or Nathan have more pressure. Majority of them vote for Nathan, they think he is so hyped for the OGM by US media and this is his best chance for OGM, while Yuzu has had two, this one is just an add-on. I kinda disagree, Yuzu has huge pressure and mental challenge in his own way.
  15. I have seen this as well. Based on the rule of quarantine for 7 days after a competition, I think a person can only watch one competition. There is so much effort/sacrifice to make for that one competition. And the Olympic overlaps with Chinese New Year, it means more sacrifice than usual. I am sure if it is open to the public, a lot of cfanyus would make such sacrifice. However, since it is arranged, this basically means an inconvenient assignment for non-fans. And since Tianjin, the city neighboring to Beijing has Omicron cases, I really think the most likely case in the end is without any audience. I mean, really, what's the point to have thousands of arranged audience, which is logistically risky and costly for Covid prevention, requring huge efforts both from the organizers and the audience, while most of the audience are not even fans of the sports (not only figure skating, the same apply to speed skating, ice hockey..) .
