louder for the ones in the back

Thank you @kaeryth So can we count on your external drive when all else fails? I am creeped out by the accuracy

After remembering a rinkmate complaining about her freestyles being too soft (and she also just does singles up to Lz) I think I‘ll have to go up a few levels and get risport rf3/ royal plus/ edea chorus. I think I am going to look for used blades to match. Either coronations or professionals but I‘ll ask the shop if they would mount my skates to their boots first. Hopefully I can sell my skates for a good price...

Also could it be that they shortened the medal ribbons for good so that they don’t always have to clip them for interviews?

But that’s within his competition expenses. I guess this is for a family vacation that would otherwise not be included in his sponsoring

LOL as if he doesn’t know the demographic of his followers at this point and doesn’t know what they will respond

I just spend my morning (and more of it than I should have) on watching the FCCJ press conference LOL Did Yuzu say before that he thinks the 4Lo is the most difficult backward take-off quad? Bc most commentators say it’s the 4Lz. And I had to laugh when he said he thinks that perhaps Javi is too kind to compete... so does that mean Yuzu doesn’t think of himself as kind? Just wondering

He‘s on! Haha they gave the mic to Shoma first

I think we also need Yuzu‘s face from Madison Chock‘s instagram post from the closing ceremony

LMAO I died

Yeah I think I should switch to Freestyles once I can afford them. I think at my body weight and the amount of jumps I do I’ve really stretched my Artistes.

Hey guys! Another reminder that talk about other skaters that is unrelated to Yuzuru should go into the General Skating Chat or otherwise into the appropriate Team threads such as: Thank you guys for helping us keep the planet organized. It's in the interest of all members

can u believe he really did it, I totally can but also not, it's still so unreal but he really really did it omg

I hope we get to see some healthy chubby cheeked mid-off-season Yuzu like during the monument reveal ceremony last summer. I still love to look at those photos bc he looked so incredibly cute with those cheeks and the awkward haircut

Afaik space between tongue and ankle in the front is actually necessary to be able to bend your knees. 2-3cm does seem like a lot tho? I think it should be enough if you can fit a finger in there or so (without squeezing it in) but definitely ask your coach I also think it depends on how well your skates are broken in. If your skates are still stiff, a bigger gap might be necessary. I didn’t tie my laces up to the top for the first few weeks when I got my skates so I had some space to bend my knees I’ve actually been thinking about changing my boots, too, and I happen to have the same model. They hurt me now when I tie them too tightly but I don’t feel secure if I don’t. Maybe they got too soft bc I have been jumping a lot... I am having difficulty understanding why exactly they hurt me and idk if other boots won’t. The pain isn’t local, it just makes my whole foot hurt and the pain goes up my shin, almost to my knees when I tie them especially hard and skate with them for a while (that’s when I get my best spins tho... but the pain isn’t bearable.)

He’s kept his features but he does look visibly more mature now. Pretty much his age Actually I feel like this season aged him a bit but in a good way

Olympics Gala

Interviews immediately after medal ceremony

Medal Ceremony

They could still warn the substitute before making a public announcement. I think they might want to delay it so that ticket sales don’t get a hit

Thank youuu

Thank you so much for your contribution

Hope Yuzu took lots of selfies with all the skaters Even if we’ll never see those
