That and he's talked about future marriage, having a wife, etc. He wasn't too far off by way of timing (blaming covid). However if it's not a wife that's completely fine too. Supporting regardless!!

As a fan of his for 10 years I am equal parts shocked AND thrilled for him! He has given SO much to this sport and now he can make room for another chapter in his life. After looking at that BTS dance cover of Dynamite, I guess life really is Dynamite for him right now. I'm just so happy to know that he is in a GOOD place...a VERY good place! Wishing him and the new Mrs. Hanyu nothing but the best! Makes my heart so very full. And side note: I'm also happy for his mom. I think back to that time at Autumn Classic when I gave her my extra seat because our section was totally full. She spent a huge part of her life being so dedicated to him and his career as well. A total MVP!! And now she can send him on his way (though I'm sure they are still really close).

It's not shocking at all, it's called 15 minutes of fame. The Olympics hasn't even been over for a week lol. Adam and Mirai got invites to talk shows, Oscars, DWTS, etc. Would have been more odd for it not to happen actually. The true tell will be invites outside of this time, filling seats for ice shows, actually doing something to make skating relevant outside of every 4 years... So my question is can I get clarity on if "certified" is actually a thing? I hadn't heard about it until these Olympics tbh...

So I was watching a little of TSL today and Yuzu was mentioned in conjunction with Chen's 4a attempt. According to them, they have seen the video of Nathan's attempt and while URed (4.25), it looked close (closer than Yuzu's GPF 19 attempts). In terms of Yuzu they hear he limits his time on ice to preserve his body but think that's a good thing that athletes can last long enough to know their bodies and drive their own ship. It's time stamped @37 mins: So the race is on!

The quarantine ARMY in me appreciates this.

And his wife, Rita Wilson. They are in Australia right now. It's been a busy few hours!

I am sad but extremely relieved at the same time. I would not have been enjoying myself while be being wrought with worry that I could catch something and/or bring something back to my loved ones or colleagues. Honestly I'd been questioning if I was just going to eat the cost because the thought was making me so unhappy. Honestly I'm sure hearing about the NBA cancellations, Tom Hanks testing positive, and then flight bans from Europe would have put me over the top. I just hated that the ISU was going to leave it up to me instead of doing the right, ethical thing. 20,000 people from all over the world rubbing elbows with e/o for up to 10 hours a day for a week during a pandemic is flirting with disaster. I would have been worried sick about the skaters too with crowds and gifts. And don't think that it wouldn't have weighed on Yuzu's mind that thousands of people would be there risking it to see him. Not to mention the well-being of his mom who usually sits in the crowd and his coaches too that are usually all around. And of course himself as an asthmatic. Shame on the ISU for not doing it sooner.

Yes! It was insane how much colder it got when you got to Pyeongchang vs. Gangneung. I remember we had to take the train to PC and then wait for the shuttles headed to medals plaza. That's where it was cooold. And then as the sun set it got even colder!! And then traffic SUCKED trying to get us there but I remember not totally freaking out because if we were stuck in it, they were too. And the ceremony was delayed a touch because of the traffic I remember.

This was a day where I learned for a fact that being in a complete state of euphoria allows you to endure things you would otherwise find torturous. I remember heading toward the medals plaza from Gangneung Ice Arena and saying "What a glorious day!" It wasn't that glorious, we were freezing our asses off! And it was a TREK to get from the arena to the plaza, but @kiches, myself, and others were in full YOLO mode and just so darn happy that we did it with a smile. I remember my fingers should have been freezing when I was trying to film the medal ceremony, but I was just too happy to feel it. What a glorious day, indeed!! I wish I could bottle it up and sell it!! "Natural High" come get it while it's hot!

Gosh the memories. I can't believe I've been stanning Yuzuru for over 6 years!

He's really selling it! Makes me think he'd be an amazing coach some day. Imagine the pep talks! Sounds like he said something along the lines of "Strongest Japan, each and everyone one of you turn the pressure into strength, everybody as one, do your best, Japan."

Happy New Year! So I'm watching the new Netflix series spinning out and I noticed the opening scene, they are totally filming at the rink for ACI in Oakville. I know that stupid hockey glass obstructing my view of Yuzu from anywhere , among other things!!But of course, a sectionals will never be that crowded.

Since they reposted for the holidays, so will I. Yuzu soundbite, yay! And Happy Holidays, everyone!

Or he could stop giving them nuggets of gossip in the first place. What does he even get out of this?
