The article mentions that whilst Gold Medals, especially those won by Team GB, are celebrated, it is also stories of overcoming hardship in order to make a comeback and succeed, which Brits find inspiring. The British love an underdog story and will often support athletes who face greater challenges compared with those who are seen as having advantages. Yuzu is exactly the kind of athlete who overcame injury on his journey to Olympic triumph that would be seen as a truly remarkable feat.

The caveat is that whilst Yuzu has stated that the days of competition may be in the past for him, he has changed the definition of professional skater and diverged from the traditional format ice show idea altogether. Yuzu is researching and designing training methods which enable him to perform in the way that he feels is best. The results are self evident as seen in his Ice Stories, where his supreme physical condition in order to showcase his skating, his creations and explore this entirely new concept of performance art with his invention in the unique genre of Ice Story. Honestly, Yuzu is a creator of new worlds with the merging of the skating programmes and video sequences and story telling with intricate costuming, set design, lighting and other special effects which immerses in the audience in a deep multi sensorial experience is utterly ground breaking. Like many other people, I was close to devastated when Yuzu announced the official end of his competitive career, but he has more than delivered with what he has brought to the ice as he began carving his own path as a professional. I am delighted to follow this journey with Yuzu still avidly following the Ice Stories and his Notte Stellata shows. Of course it is a pity that the world will not see Yuzu in competions anymore, but the years between Pyeongchang Olympics and Beijing were filled with negative experiences and nobody wants Yuzu to have to endure suffering at the hands of people who govern his sport. Yuzu has his sights set on more beautiful horizons and if he wants to, he will be presenting even greater works to enchant fortunate audiences for years to come. I hope that Yuzu will continue to evolve in the way that he chooses and include us fans as he moves forward. Personally, I am really looking forward to seeing everything that he wants to show us and just hope for his ongoing happiness and health.

Just to add, it's particularly intriguing and interesting to see Countries which don't have nay snow and ice participating in the games. It goes to show that sports are for everyone and the Olympic Games really embodies the ideal of coming together throught the community of sports. Hoping that all of the athletes has a safe and happy games

Sorry to add my tiny contribution so late on. In fact the event and the past few days have been a bit of a whirlwind. We have all seen the results, so that discussion is already old news. Many congratulations to Mischa BBC commentator Robin Cousins, himself an Olys champion, had some diplomatic words and advice for the skaters. He really emphasised that each skater could only control their own skate and they should focus on everything that they had practised and do their best "do their day job' and not be distracted chasing someone else. He was completely correct and as a past Olympian and champion he should know. Mikhail had a wonderful skate and deserved to well, perhaps because he perhaps initially thought that he was not in medal contention and so was able to set aside distraction and skate in away that he could be and indeed became very proud of. Although he did not explicitly say so, he remarked that whilst some of the eye catching moves during the choreo sequence were permitted they did not score as individual elements and that skaters should still consider the artistry, flow and story of their programme performance not just jumps and crowd pleasing moves. He also made several lovely references to Yuzu as both fantastic quads and artistry and that he is a major influence in the modern era. He was also very sensitive about the emotional pressures for Maxim Naurumov having lost his parents and the Ukrainian athletes having to compete and during the Free having to skate after the AIN Russian skater. Robin also mentioned the late Denis Ten and his legacy for Qazaqhstan skating with Shaidarov following in his skating. Robin also complimented Yuma's and Shun's team event performances, he said during the individual FS how much he loves the Firebird programme. He also emphasised how fabulous Yuma is as a complete skater and he did mention that although Ilia has huge scores from the high base value of his jumps he would do well to study Yuma's non jumping elements and reflect on that. Personally, I had some sympathy for Ilia and also the other skaters who delivered performances that were less than their potential best. It was awful to see anybody crumple and essentially be humiliated in such a manner on a high publicity stage. However, he would have garnered a lot more empathy had he behaved in a less arrogant way during his competitive career, for example not pretending that Yuzu was jealous of the fact that he had landed the 4A in ISU comp and his phobic derogatory and discriminatory comments, one can only hope that he will reflect on his skating, personal conduct and the way that he courts the media and the hype that goes with it. In BJ several people remarked that Ice chan had betrayed Yuzu with the hole leading to the popped snake Sal, but perhaps she was telling Yuzu that his path lay elsewhere and her intervention was ultimately in a bigger arena. Ice chan redeemed herself on Friday the 13th and has most certainly confirmed the title of GOAT upon Yuzu. Wishing everyone a great day and enjoyment watching the Winter Olympics. FS is not the only sport on offer and it has been an exciting games so far with additional bonus of a wonderful opening ceremony

Yes, only certified 4A according to protocols on Olympic Ice.

It was also publicised that in order to be able attend University in Korea and have some of his fees/ skating costs offset by his Fed, he needed to be majority resident in Korea or something like that. In addition his win at the Asian games resulted in his government making him exempt from National Service
