It is impossible to know but I also think the silence has been strategic. Yuzu has said he is bothered by outside pressures/media noise. In a situation like this, saying nothing gives media nothing to talk about, little to use for grounds of speculation and hype or even saying he is doomed to lose out on the gold. I think he's likely fine but is keeping it quiet because it's better for his mentality going into the games to have as little media shit to deal with as possible.

Yes. I believe he can be in good form. ps. guys i got a ticket for the men's practice 8D so i will be contributing to the inevitable wealth of photographs of yuzu that will come out of pyeongchang. i'll take photos at practice and maybe during the 6 minute warm ups but not the actual comp performance cuz i dunno if thats allowed and i always get scared the camera clicks are distracting lol

Yuzu showing up one week at the Water Aerobics class and making every 50~70 year old ladies freaking year

I imagine he did some training to maintain his muscle, particularly in his legs and probably his core, at least. Things like weight machines that he could use without engaging his ankle in the process. IDK about cardio. Depends on what his off-ice training is like and what would be useful to him, if swimming isn't possible because he can't float (lol) then honestly I'm not totally sure what he could do cardio wise while he needed to totally rest his ankle. But while he was in rehab and could put weight on it, just had to go easy on it.....I imagine some stationary bike or something could work. I am kinda imagining him not necessarily swimming but doing water aerobics...Like old ladies do....But its also a good/common way of doing sports rehab because its easy on joints but it good resistance training

TBH I want to see Yuzuru at the opening ceremony Whether he does Team or not. I think any opportunity he can have to practice on Olympic ice is good. There's pros and cons of all options tbh. If he does team sp he's likely to do well, it could lift his confidence going into the singles, but his SP has had more practice in shows and competition that his FS. If he does the FS it's good practice, but it's really close to singles and could be draining. If he does both, same as FS, he gets the competition to take the edge off the singles but it could be draining and who knows how it could affect his mentality going into singles event. And if he does no team event he'll have the rest and is focused on the most important thing but it could be risky....

Fairy Yuzu floating in the sky

The YOI theme is super pretty so I wouldn't mind but yeah the fan reactions put me off him ever skating to it lmao

in this case? because there was a mention of Yuzuru skating to the YOI theme with a link to what I assume was a fanvid which just made me laugh. Also it was jammed in and compared Yuzu's admiration for Plushenko to Yuri's admiration of Victor which is a wee bit creepy. Th article would've been better without it.

I wonder if this might make Yuzuru a popular boy with Korean media.......

Yah i'm just gonna stream everything i can't go to. I'll be staying at a nearby hostel too so at least i have one more event before the gala so i'm not just sat in the hostel for like 8 days like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got row D in B level for the free dance. I think for 4CC i was B level and further back than that and still had a good view and was able to take some photos. B level isn't that bad tbh.

it seems most other sports had less seats available and were cheaper so sold okay? but from what i can see only mens sold out for the figure skating. i had previously heard it was the only event to sell out period but i'm not so sure about that. I found an article claiming 80% ish has been sold for skiing, bobsleigh and short track speed skating, about 55% for Biathlon and Nordic and 62% ish of the figure skating has been sold. Apparently across all events, 61% of tickets have been sold. Trump mouthing off and raising tensions with NK, not allowing NHL athletes for hockey and banning Russia probably hadn't helped sales but local Koreans are kinda meh about the games too because they don't really have any medal possibilities.

<< I made a Bad Life Decision and bought a ticket to the Free Dance on a whim. I'm really surprised (and a bit saddened) that A level tickets are still available for ice dance and pairs (and i imagine team event too) and theres B/C level tickets still available for Ladies....But the tickets are kinda pricey. At least mens is sold out... But its gonna bug me if people bitch about The Fanyu's because really... without Yuzu's pull there'd be a lot more empty seats and competitions and a lot less viewers. The ISU needs to figure out how to make the sport more accessible and appealing or they're going to get a real nasty shock when YUzuru eventually retires....

I'm so excited for PC but I'm so scared as well.....

if there was an actual 'gag order' it covers everyone. its a court ruling that X thing should not be talked about publicly and doing so is contempt. which was why i was laughing earlier at the wording of that other article. there's a difference between yuzu/yuzu's mum/jsf/whoever saying 'dont talk to the media about his condition' and yuzu issuing a gag order lmao that's the joke. ba-dum-tch

Javi returns to Toronto only to have Yuzuru murder-face-ing at him. blissfully unaware as to why

Yuzuru is somewhere in Toronto whispering 'see you in court Javi' tut tut tut Javi how you gonna break an injunction like that.

yeah i think i remember his average being 5% BF or under? so. he must have pretty hella muscle definition. 3% is pretty much as low as possible without getting rid of vital fat needed for organ function. idk about the other men. At a wild guess I'd maybe think Keiji is around 8-10%? and shoma maybe 10-13%????? (though he keeps gaining muscle so it could be dropping. he'd still really young afterall but he comes across as not being as strict with his diet meat meat potatos chicken nuggets lmao)

Shoma is uh pretty uh thicc muscular it's kinda amazing that yuzu is pm all muscle. no wonder he's so fast and can jump so high....all his weight is functional *small jealous tear*

4kg of muscle gain.....

<< isnt he Mr. 'finish the assignment a few minutes before the deadline and submit it without proofreading'..........

I'm just contributing yuzu booping his own nose

'gag order' lmao seems a bit exaggerated. there's a difference between the overlord requesting no information be shared about his condition so he isn't hassled and Yuzu got a legal injunction against talking about his ankle.....

holy shit that's terrible D:

I'm gonna have nightmares of Yuzu Yolo-ing a SE-4A-SE in the SP or smth
