I wouldn't be amused, I'd be happy! Because that order is exactly how I see them. I don't see Shoma or Nathan working that much hard than Boyang on Skating Skills - it's just that Boyang lacks a bit of upper body grace, but in the end I don't think that Presentation is only about that. Yes, Shoma is magnetic and cool, but after I saw him skate to his EX the same exact way he skated to Vivaldi, he's lost a tiny bit of appreciation from my part. I think, thanks to Olympic interviews and performances, I've gotten to know Shoma a little bit more this season, and I've gotten to appreciate him less. It's like, he says he knows he can improve (with jumps, at least), but I think that's only the start of it. His presentation is flat, emotionless, stoic and that's it. The only times I enjoy him is when he lets go, smiles after a jump or a fall and finally lets himself loose a little. Regarding Nathan, I can like him as a person, but he really thinks skating is all about jumps, and I think he's ended up believing that indeed he is good at everything else, because everyone around keeps praising him and convincing him of that. So, really, Boyang is the only one who is completely aware that he still has a long way to go, and this humilty allows him to actually grow with each competition, and change more than the other two. (Btw, have I already said I want Boyang to come to TCC.) So, pleaaaase please please podium predictions be right!

Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and say it... Yuzuru has to skate to Naples melodic songs. They are sweet, they are soft and lyrical, I think he would feel it in the skates, in his movements, in his jumps. And the lyrics... please don't let me start with the lyrics. They are the sweetest words I've probably ever read. Title: "Night of sentiment", the translated riddle: "Clear is the moon, sweet is the wind, calm is the sea Oje, Carulì... This night of sentiment is not made for us to sleep..." This is by far my favourite... I cry every time I listen to it ops. The translated riddle: "I'd want to kiss you, I'd want to kiss you, But my heart cannot bare it To wake you up, to wake you up, I'd want to sleep too I'd want to sleep too Next to your breath If only for an hour, If only for an hour."

OH YEAAAAAH I'll fill TCC team's twitter accounts with music recommendations

I can feel behind his words, the pain of not having Yuzuru come to compete in Italy, but the honesty of his get-well-wishes for him! Btw, by 'two weeks of rest', do they mean no walking too?

Faith in humanity restored

I miss 4Lo! It was so beautiful! So light! So unique! I miss it!!!

Well... what can I say? If he has to rest, it's good that he rests. Of course, I'm still sad he won't come to Milan, and that he won't be able to defend his world title. Still, after the Olys, everyone recognizes his greatness, so media won't be able to do much damage, whoever will be crowned new World Champion (I'm shamelessly rooting for Boyang first and foremost, and Shoma right after). I just hope that many Fanyus will still come to the event, I hope to meet all of you and I hope we'll have fun together! I can't wait for you to come to Italy

So this is what bombing feels like

Tbh, Yuzuru's musicality is something I have yet to see in another skater, both male and female. Feels like he's one of the people who, when listening to a piece of music, have to walk to the beat, do everything to the beat, and when he moves with the music you can see it's not the choreography that's "imposed" to him, but it's a feeling from within that motivates each movement. (Aaaah such a wonderful musician he would have been... better as an athlete though, he's finish competition soon with music lol)

Come to Rome, best food ever- oh, I won't be able to be a tour guide for you tho, I'll be stuck in Milan Please eat the Mantuvan pumpkin! Stuffed as filling in tortellini or gnocchi. One of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. (lol Why can I only suggest foods)

So basically I'm gonna know if he's coming or not when I'm already in Milan. Sweet!

Guys, so on facebook I read that there is no clear source for that article we shared and translated, so we shouldn't really follow up on that... (at least, dear Elena C, Max and his team were pretty skeptical of it and said that until there are official statements from the JSF, fake news will abound).

Three hours?? That's hella long. Anyways, this was another part of the article from before. I hope that speaking with the doctors might have helped Yuzuru get a clearer idea of his leg's situation, I hope he's feeling at rest now. Also, would we consider the days that have passed since Olympic Gala up till today as 'rest' days? He definitely didn't practice, so even if he walked, his leg and ankle might have rested a little, right? Who am I kidding - more and more people said that ligament damage takes forever to heal. Okay, I know. The thing here is trying to understand wheather competing in two weeks time would aggravate his situation, or not. Ugh, I wish there was a magical way to skate and jump without putting his ankle in danger... (eliminate all Lutzes from his programs??)

I am a person who trusts easily especially if the person helping me knows what they're doing... plus, I know that if I don't get anything wrong/if I don't fall, I won't learn a thing, so I am motivated by that!

It's funnier if you consider that yesterday was election day and currently there is NO Italian government to ban Yuzuru from crossing the borders You might want to ask northern Italy fanyus - including Max and Angelo.

I don't think you were wrong. I do believe he feels a lot of weight off his shoulders now. But I never believed that it was that weight that motivated him to compete in the first place. I think he's always wanted to compete because he loves to perform, he loves to give emotions to the public, and he loves to win. He loves to prove he's the best at what he does, not because he's insecure, but because he loves to prove to himself that he can always go one step forward... So I think he did change. But some things about him will never change, maybe

It would have been interesting if they had put the doctor's reply to him within the article. Something like: Yuzuru: if possible, I want to go to Wo- Doctor: OH HELL nO SON

Right. Who am I kidding. If he'd had said "I don't want to compete so soon", we would have worried shitless and said "WHAT'S HAPPENING OH GOD HE'S CHANGED"

Too bad! This would have been really the perfect chance for him to say it! Like "I'm really, so happy and satisfied with my second Olympic gold, I think I don't really feel like throwing myself into another competition a month later..." But noooooo, he had to go and say he wants to compete... why Yuzu... why...

PM me and I will

AHHAHAHA SORRY. It seems everything I say will be used against me. Okay, let's try this one: he said "I want to go to Worlds if it's possible". But this is the same thing he said for Nationals, right? So we should take this as a subtle hint that he can't go, even if he'd want to go.

Yes. Yes. I need confirmation for both cases. Because if he's not going, I'll be able to work through the week calmly, and enjoy my time as if it were a working-vacations with no strong emotions around the corner. But if HE'S COMING. (I have to compile a CD of songs I would like him to use... and give it to Kikuchi-san somehow)

WELL TO CALM YO SPIRITS UP I think if his conditions are as severe as he fears/suspects... doctors will never let him participate in Worlds.

Poor translation skills. Here goes: "「羽生さんは今回、患部周辺の精密検査を行ったそうです。その後、今後のリハビリスケジュールなどを話し合っていたそうです。その話し合いのなかで、羽生さんは『可能ならば、やっぱり世界選手権に出場したい！』と訴えたそうです」" "This time, it seems like Hanyu-san went to do a thorough medical exam of the wounded area. After that, it seems like they talked together (doctor, team and him, I presume) about his rehabilitation schedule, etcetera. While they were talking together, it seems like Hanyu-san said "If it's possible, I would like to participate in Worlds after all"." Pleeeeease correct me if I didn't understand anything lol I just wanted to have news as soon as possible

He also has personalized Swan bows :33333
