What? I thought he was Jason xDDD

Could be! Try waiting for 100 posts :3 Lol what xD Javier xDDD

Have you tried uploading it to a gif uploading site and then take the link from there to here? Or maybe the size is too big, and you could try some resizing-gif online sites. That's the route Pooh will take to enter the Olympic venue as well...

Seems like the classic Diversion trick! Brian takes the responsability to attract all crowds with him and part of the official team, while Yuzuru, together with his mom enters the venue through a complicated underground sewer canal system. Okay, I might have made up the last part.

A Pancake party at TCC and I'm stuck here... life is so unfair... *munches on croissants*

How much more intense will he be... his eyes will be scary I bet... especially during practice... UGH I NEED TO SEE HIM SKATE SOON PLS LET HIM DO TEAM EVENT AND BE IN PERFECT SHAPE

I swear LGC has the power to resurrect me from the dead for that very reason. By the way, studying Linguistics yesterday, in particular the Receptive system (Ear and stuff), I was reading a paragraph in which it was reminded to me that the Ear has two main functions, strictly connected together: the function of hearing and the function of balance. So I kinda put two and two together and made a thought about Yuzuru's excellent musical ear. It must definitely be connected with his ability as a figure skater, which is undoubtedly connected with an excellent sense of balance. Yuzuru should put his ears under insurance... nevermind the ankles and something else too

Great, now the news are that there's no news!!

Eeeeh you are so lucky you met him! He is so talented and my favourite Phantom too! çAAAAç (His "Christine, I love you" is the best ever and always manages to make me cry)

Mmh, depending on how much he trained off-ice while his ankle was recovering... still, it's pretty hard to train intensely with a sprained ankle. I bet you can't just like completely change your training routine. I doubt Yuzuru started weightlifting, because that requires a completely different set of motions and bodybuild and so on. And off-ice high intensity training + skating, even done only 2 hours a day (although I doubt he trains that little before and during competitions), it's hard to continue burning that much amount of calories if you have an injured ankle (the problem being that your body, even if you stop training, for a while continues to burn the same amount of energy, it's the athlete's metabolism). So, I do believe he might have lost some weight last month. But if it wasn't much, he might have worked all through January to gain it back.

I really hope he didn't lose those 4 kgs he spent years to gain, in these 3 months

Yup, like you said it happens so many times with classical music, you can be an artist inside but if the teacher doesn't guide you, doesn't give you the technical knowledge to direct that feeling into something really high quality - if the teacher is not a good teacher, the student is going to go forward as much as the teacher lets him.

I feel like his neck is also tense, right? While Yuzuru looks relaxed from head to toe. Also, the way Yuzuru takes that curve with one foot is so smooth and easy, while you can see Nathan kinda pushing with his body to make the turn - at least, that's what I see. I see Nathan making a lot of stiff, useless movements while Yuzuru glides effortlessly and with style.

Background! xD As in: one of the two doesn't have balletic background!!! A r t i s t r y endangered!!!

That Yuzuru's a very skilled hacker?

great, I know what to do instead of studying for the next hour

This, absolutely. Can you imagine Nathan's team's reaction to the announcement that Yuzuru is back in FULL form and ready to smash a 5 quad program? "Yeah, what about this, then? 7 QUADS FOR THE OLYS!" Nevermind that Nathan can barely do 5, with 0 transitions and 0 choreography. They'd kill him!

It is but... at this point, I am thinking that the more Yuzuru is on the ice, doing runthroughs, the better... he needs the adrenaline, he needs a schedule that doesn't allow him to think a lot. He just has to go out and unleash his "body and mind" as one. And I think a tight schedule might work in that regard.

I would not agree with this strategic choice. If Yuzuru reaches his peak condition during the Team Event, it will be perfect timing. Chopin and Seimei have to be ready by february, or almost ready. Plus, if he does well at the team event, he will put tons of pressure on all the others, just like he did in Sochi.

My problem won't even be the lack of sleep. I can do without sleep. What I cannot, absolutely not do is study about the Ming dinasty and other Ancient Oriental history stuff while the adrenaline of the Olympics runs through my veins at the speed of over 9000 miles per hour.

THE SNIPER *snickers* Javier must be terrified of Yuzuru lately... Anyways, regarding coping mechanisms,seeing as It'll be middle of the night/dawn hours for me... binge groceries will be a must. Chocolate bars, milka snacks, cookies, potato chips (to alternate savoury and sweet... those will be long hours), probably pasta at some point... I'm not saying Ice cream because it'll be pretty cold still. Also, I don't know who will have the courage of keeping me company. I suppose they will have to take shifts to better deal with me LOL. I don't think I'll even need coffee... I always take it with, like, one liter of milk and a cup of sugar anyways...

You said it before I could ^^

Nice article! It covered pretty much every important moment in Yuzuru's life and carreer (although it didn't mention last year's injury). I would have taken out that Yuri on Ice mention, which lowers the 'professional' perception of the article, but, okay. It's still nice!

Holy. This hits right in the heart. Poor Yulia.
