I did sense something was wrong with his jumps (not just his 3A landings were forward and unsteady, most of his landings were) but I tried really hard to repress any thought that Yuzu is fooling us once more...

OMG a spread eagle tho!! I’be been trying.. I guess inside besti squats? but my turnout is just not enough to maintain it

hahahah just keep on trying, jumping is a lot of fun mi loop I forced myself to skate again today. I haven’t been able to work out much bc my body is still weak from the lack of sleep and nutrition throughout the men’s events LOL and I still felt it this morning on the ice. My muscles get tired faster than usual... sigh

You're right. But I think alot of us who are worried about how reckless he is sometimes are not saying we don't understand his decision to skate despite injury for his second OGM. I get why it is worth it, and I am glad he was able to fulfill his dream. I am not in a place to criticize him for it, no one really is... but I am still worried. Wouldn't it be so much better if he didn't have to pay a price like this, at all? LOL

I hope Yuzu won't have completely forgotten his lesson of the 15-16 season. He seems to have moved on from it, judging by how he was going to grit his teeth through NHK if only his ankle had moved. (Almost makes me say, good thing it didn't move.) I am getting scared thinking about the 4A and how he possibly just learned a new lesson here... he can win an OGM on painkillers with a severely injured ankle. What if he gets a similiar verdict from the doctors, like the one before Olys, that his ankle won't heal in time, this time maybe a verdict that says possibly never, and he just decides to sacrifice his ankle again and hold on with painkillers until he lands the 4A.... I do hope he heals properly before he starts training again. Sigh.... I reckon before the 4A Yuzu will want to fullfill his layout goals from this season first, a perfect 4Lz and a 5 quad-FS. Even though he is satisfied and happy I am pretty sure he feels like he has some unfinished buisness with this season.

Or Toronto? He seems to have his doctors there although I would really wish for him to take time off and spend time with his family and just enjoy being carefree for a while (preferably without any media commitments)

He has a knack for making his ridiculous childhood dreams come true

There isn’t and Worlds is the last competition of the season afaik Honestly I am pretty sure Yuzu won’t be going to Worlds

Mention of 4A used to get my pulse up to 200 but now that it seems to be Yuzu‘s one remaining goal I am kind of cool with it I wonder how Brian thinks about it now (or has ever thought about it)

lmao this is kind of funny to me but maybe if Yuzu sees this his motivation might shoot up through the roof.

Hey, This thread belongs into the Yuzuru Hanyu subforum. I will move it there now

Like @SparkleSalad said, we don't need to defend Yuzu. Defense comes from a place of insecurity and that is absolutely not warranted in this case. Yuzu is GOAT. Period.

Hey, hey, there's really nothing that changes by responding to haters and trolls. It's ok. Yuzu will probably not get to see this and these people are not worth our time or anger

Wow this gave me such a strong surge of nostalgia What is he talking about and how is it relevant now?

LMAO first he says you can't really compare skaters form different eras to discredit calling anyone GOAT and then he's like... but you know, if he won a third OGM? That would make him GOAT. I do not recommend this article

He sounds sooooo sleepy and tired tho

I guess? Well Shoma is likely to be in the top 2, especially without Yuzu there, so I think he could do it by himself eta: oh cumulative placement counts... hm

I think so

no one reply, tag or like any of Sprakles posts ever again

7pm KST so in 3 hours 20 mins

everything is so perfect

didn't sleep all night and I feel more alive than ever

forget sleep and just enjoy this moment and the fact that everything is riight in the world

He went into Olys with such firm belief in himself. I feel embarassed for having had worried while he was just there to have fun. Bc he knew he would win. I want to beat my past self up for ever doubting the fact that he got this

um if anything he just delivered pretty solid proof that his era isn't even close to the end He likes his knees and he likes gold esp the olympic kind
