Why everyone discussing about retirement when yuzu saying that he wanted to reward himself so he skated all of his past programs
To me it sounds like he wanted to heal himself in this Olympic. The way he's stay and not go home despite injured, also do all the practices after the individual event, decide to do gala, i see it as him doing it to have fun. I think he wants to make precious memories in this Olympic. Previously he said this Olympic wasn't enjoyable but seeing it how he's enjoying the rest of the time he has in Beijing, skating all his programs, smiling and having fun, that's to heal himself imo.
Imagine if he's comebak to Japan after individual event. The frustration, sad, angry, disappointment he has to bring back to Japan? I'm glad we know he's having fun now. Beijing won't leave him the bad feeling from the competition but precious moment for him too. And confirmation that he's still in love with figure skating.
