Ohhh hello, did I miss something, you know Ghislain?? Also, lovely picture and very nice to see what at least one other Fanyu looks like, I always try and picture people I interact with online so this is cool!! 😎😎

Hahaha that slow mo video was both wonderful and funny to watch! I can't explain it.

Don't worry, I think we all thought that too! I really hope his ankle is better...

I hereby prescribe 30mg of Yuzuru Hanyu 2x times a day for eternity to all forum members. Side effets may include fast heartbeat, stress, clammy hands, motivation to go through your daily difficulties and push yourself to always be better and work hard, pure joy & happy tears. If you have forgotten to take one dose please take it as soon as you can. If you have accidentally taken too many doses at once, you're doing it right.

OMAGAAAAD so happy with today's news! I know I read he (almost) never misses these shows but after Beijing I was concerned. I'm dancing !!

Oh wow! You went back home and came back for the FS! That's nuts (and dedication!!). Sorry you couldn't meet the other Fanyus

Thanks for this, I am so grateful for this interview. The amount of work and thought in every detail of his programs is really mind-blowing. At this stage Yuzuru's skates are his quill and the ice is his paper, and he just writes his own story whenever he steps on the ice. This really is (partly) why I love him so much, the perfect mixture of technical excellence and genius artistry. Most skaters tend to lean towards one or the other, Yuzu simply has it all.

I am in LOVE with the new look of the forum! Thanks mods 😍😍

This is so cool! Thank you so much for all the wonderful Fanyus who shared the love on behalf of us who couldn't make it 😍😍 I am very grateful.

Thanks a lot @Pammi! I do sometimes wonder what the "elders" of the forum feel (i.e. the ones who've been here the longest, not the oldest ones by age ) - and I know elders of the forum won't necessarily be people who have the biggest knowledge of the figure skating, or even necessarily be the most fair with constructive criticism "just because" they've been here the longest, but I personally wonder what they think, if they feel like the general feel of the forum has taken a turn or if this kind of negativity just comes and goes (after all, Olympics just ended and it's rarely smooth sailing).

To add to Pammi's good points, and from a more general view... can we all simply be adult and respectful here? I have very little power here as I'm still fairly new, and although I've been an FS fan for 15 ish years I do lack a lot of knowledge in scoring corruption etc, and have only been following Yuzu closely since last month. For the sake of complete honestly, I will admit that I have personally felt a little down reading all the (sometimes broken-record style, yes) very negative comments on scoring, Shoma, Nathan, Yuma etc. and I have even felt guilty when noticing and appreciating a few good things in Shoma's program today for example. This guilt stemmed directly from all my reading on this forum, and I felt I was not being a proper Yuzu supporter if there were things I found even half-decent in SU,YK,NC skating. But no one on here has ever said I should feel guilt, it's just something that happened after reading a lot, and that is mostly my own fault, as I took things to heart maybe a bit too much, instead of trying to keep my own opinion and not take everything to heart. So yes, there are times when I read things on here and feel "what's the point of watching FS anymore, or waiting for Yuzu to decide to stay, if it's all so futile"? But 1) I chose to sign up to this forum 2)I choose to read it daily and sometimes post on it,and no one is forcing me to stay if I don't like it. There are days when it's all so negative I choose to briefly read and then stay away from my phone. Even though Mary_Kyo has recently been one of the members with the negative comments on FS in general, is it fair to call them a "keyboard warrior" which as we all know is a derogatory comment? No it is not. For a start we don't know that they aren't taking action on the side, but also they are just expressing an opinion on a public forum which they are entitled to. Lastly and my biggest concern is, how do we actually take action (and CAN we take action, at our level, as I feel like most of us here are not professionals in the FS world, but hopefully I'm wrong?)? And how do we avoid hurting Yuzu and his reputation in the making? Because if that's one thing we all have in common, no matter how different our backgrounds, knowledge of skating and personnality are - we want the best for Yuzuru.

I don't think he did, it was just an assumption and probably a correct one to be honest 😊

I half want to watch the Men's FS but I'm worried I'll get too annoyed and also I feel like I'm betraying Yuzu a bit. Am i weird??

You're right, it will definitely be hard either way.

I don't think anyone of us wants or is ready for him to retire. Of course as we keep saying we will love and support him *no matter what* but it doesn't mean we are ready to hear the R word. That's just being honest. Obviously though, the one thing I would hate even more than Yuzu retiring, is Yuzu staying for the wrong reasons. Only he knows, he's a very intelligent person who knows himself in depth and I want to think that whatever he ends up choosing it will be purely for himself and his happiness.

Haha don't worry I know France very well I wasn't worried about her safety there 🤣 Glad you have spoken to her!! Yes G&G are awesome!

Wasn't Anabel supposed to be in Montpellier? We haven't heard from her in a few days so I'm a bit concerned (I'm sure she's fine and she just happens to have a life unlike me 🤣)

Noooo don't cry! Let's be happy he's allowing his ankle to heal and allowing himself to process everything that happened last month

Dammit, I miss Yuzu a LOT today. That's it, that's my message.

Désolée! Here is the link: https://youtube.com/channel/UCnjgTwZBAaMLBEtdVWiRWGA

If anyone needs a giggle, check Nobu's short K&C fake videos on Youtube. I don't even understand a word of Japanese but they are hilarious🤣 [No more off topic I swear!]

Thank you so much & apologies for missing this!

Does anyone know when the video was filmed? It seems like it was when the world was in lockdown, I'm just wondering.

We are.....Thirsty!!

I'm currently on a long train journey and decided I was going to make the most of it by finally learning jumps, thanks to very helpful Youtube videos. I do love a good test though (I'm very competitive with myself like our beloved Yuzu) so if anyone knows of any videos/websites that show jumps and you then have to guess which one it is over and over please do let me know 😆
