Oof… Kao Miura bombed his short at Junior Worlds. sad, i was looking forward to it

hmm.. the first one his him watching his 2014 Sochi freeskate, the second one is an interview after PC 2018 and the last one is from a documentary from the time around the 2016 World Championships? im not sure…

Enough to make a grown man cry. About negative comments about other skaters, because I feel the need to defend those who don’t try to see everything through a positive lense:

I am not a skater at all, but if I could tell him something , it would be: If you want to continue, then do it. Be aware that you’ll need support because you’re not getting it from JSF. Get sponsorships, have a voice. I know Yuzu is all about that private life but having a social media account to have brands promote you. Yuzu has a ton of marketing power, and to withstand the machine that is the ISU, he has to channel it. Lets be honest: he could have Nike or Adidas knocking on the door at the end of 2022 if he tried. Why is that important? These brands are known for being able to shift the narrative.AI judging wouldn’t be a pipe dream. Those ads would have lines like “The GOAT, no matter the age” and we would have other athletes under Nike propelling Yuzu’s and also fs popularity. I strongly believe Yuzu still has the physical and mental capabilities needed to cement his legacy even more. (And I need more classical music recommendations , because I only play piano and forgot the title of rondo although i had already heard it :D) #chopinforlife

This is unrelated but I love how many tennis fans we have here but yeah, skating is judged so it makes it a lot more difficult, although it should be simple in theory…

Hope everyone is safe

The 4S is an edge jump, right? The ppl who said that probably think Morisi‘s saltoe is the way to do it

It’s funny how USfed criticizes RUSfed for corruption and cheating when they actively engage in changing results unfairly as well

Corruption

Ghislain… damn .

Look, as someone who is aiming to be successful in a sport where long careers are cherished and one hit wonders are kind of frowned upon (tennis) i cannot stress HOW SHOCKED I am by the mistreatment of the sport’s biggest star.WHY ?! Push out the athlete that gains the most attention by fans and non-fans alike? The most prominent face? I don’t get it. Even people with questionable opinions (for example Djokovic) or controversial players like Medvedev are treated better than Yuzu by JSF or ISU.Other sports governing try everything to make sure their top stars are accommodated properly and can perform at the top for the longest time possible. I just don’t understand who in their right mind thinks that this is the right way to make skating more popular -

Call me crazy but if we see Yuzu doing quintuples (legit ones) after he’s figured out how to land after 4.5 rotations I wouldn’t be surprised
