OMG GIFT HAS ARRIVED IN THE NETHERLANDS TOO!!

I hope the international release will have subtitles hahaha

Though way better than the opening costumes for A tour hahahaha

Also the 2021 hana ni nare/white legend costume is missing, that one is also so pretty!

I just listened to a figure skating podcast from 2020 with Nam Nguyen as guest. He spoke very shortly about how Yuzu helped him get his triple axel back: Nam: "I remember when I first moved to Brian, I lost my triple axel, because I was going through growth spurt. So I was like not about that jump at all. And I remember this one day when Yuzu just straight up pulls me aside and he is like bro, you got to do this got to do that and this and then you will be able to get your Axel back. And I did it, it was a huge surprise, I followed everything that he told me to do. Euhm and then I was able to get that jump back." @09:30 he starts talking about TCC Yuzu & Javi + Yuzu axel part (sadly the yuzu part is very short hahaha)

As a new fanyu I just watched his performances at Continues with Wings for the first time. Apparently his ankle was still not fully healed so he skated to his programs without the jumps...... and this has made me appreciate him even more. Even without the jumps his programs are still so interesting and engaging to me. I mean how many skaters could actually skate to their old programs, leaving out the jumps, with the program still being interesting and worth watching....

Came across a documentary about Javier Fernandez and watched it to check if Yuzu would be featured in it XDD and he is and it's quite good haha of course it's from the perspective of Javi, but still really insightful segment. For other people who want to watch, you can watch it here with english subtitles: https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/javier-fernandez-rompiendo-el-hielo/abanderado/6809213/ Yuzu's part starts @14:45 - 21:00

Spending days reading a blog regarding technical elements and jumps in figure skating XDD I never knew figure skating is so technical!! Just found out today that spins actually have rules regarding how many times you spin them / which direction hahaha. I thought they just did it based on music/choreography. And it's funny because now when I watch some old performances from Yuzu and they show Brian Orser's reaction I can sometimes see him counting the rotations on the spins HAHAHA.

Aaah thank youuuu!! Though I was looking for the 2018 FS hahaha, this is 2022

Hello I recently discovered Belinda Noonan and fell in love with her commentary. She was the official commentator for Beijing 2018 olympic channel (channel 7), I can find the SP & EX gala commentary (OC), but not the FS. Does anyone have a video of her commentary for the 2018 beijing olympic FS?

Hahaha Tetsuko san asked the same question, he said it was 2 rotations, they also showed it in slowmo

Aaah I saw that post! hahahaha so funny, def. the minister's meeting for me XD
