I'll bet he does! They need to make Helsinki a permanent stop on the Grand Prix series. 


Well he has won 100% gold in Finland competitions (WC2017, GP Helsinki, Finlandia 2012, Finlandia 2013) so yes you can bet he loves Finland a lot X)

 

Happened to chance across this VERY old video of Yuzu... all the way back when he was doing single jumps lol

 

And wow he already seemed like an ambitious child then! The way he raised the trophy haha

Ahh, it's crazy to watch that and think that kid stumbling on singles would one day be the GOAT of men's figure skating.

 

I wonder if the next decade's figure skating champion's parents are uploading videos like this to facebook or anything right now...

The words next to his GORGEOUS face "美しさは正義" means "Beauty is justice". Just how fit is that :war: That's why this cover becomes a thing :agree2:. Fanyus also trend this tag for beautiful Yuzu pics:

 

 

 

Totally agree.  Our sins are justified by his beauty :worship:

 

Fuji TV will upload videos of figure skating competitions 2019-2020 including the Nationals through their video transmission service FOD (free!) from today May 18, midnight, Japan time.

Quick follow-up to the question of whether foreign athletes like Yuzuru are being allowed back in the province of Ontario, in the form of a reply by a Toronto sports reporter tonight to a question if any of the foreign players on the Toronto Raptors (pro basketball team) who had left Canada had yet returned: https://www.thestar.com/sports/doug_smiths_sports_blog/2020/05/17/idle-nbaers--crossing-the-border-and-things-we-miss-fill-up-the-.html

As of Wednesday when we last spoke to the Raptors, no player who went home had come back. And if they want to return, they’ll be subject to the same border quarantine issues that exist today for everyone. They don’t want, expect and shouldn't be given any special dispensation under the current rules.

 

Obviously a different sport than fs, and an indoor team sport to boot (individual sports are for the moment seen as somewhat less dicey than team sports by the province), but it's also likely a more popular sport than figure skating in the province, especially after their famous win last year.  If it turns out foreign players for a popular pro sports team in the province are not being let in as exceptions to the no non-essential visitors rule, then I suspect we will have to await a change in that policy before we can expect to see foreign skaters back in Ontario.  Again, this is one sport and based on one reporter's current knowledge and opinion. but if not allowing foreign athletes in as exceptions is the case now, then I fully support the fed and provincial governments in safeguarding Canadians.  It does seem fairer to say no to everyone, unless a special relationship with certain foreign countries considered extremely safe was instituted in the future.

It's six weeks before any official training would start at TCC and I, for one, remain hopeful that in six weeks, entry from Japan will be allowed.  Maybe he'll have to quarantine, maybe not.  These are weird and unprecedented times. We can have not idea how things will be in two weeks, a month, two months.  This is the end of the basketball season. Our season doesn't start (and hoping it will, in some form) for four months.  Be optimistic.  It's better than feeling doomed.

Maybe with VPN? And use Japan as your location?

Hey, I am just sharing local info on what's going on regarding sports and one Torontonian's POV on that info, because it might shed some light on the likelihood of whether Yuzuru might be permitted to come to TCC by early July.  You are free to think and feel as you want about that information, but please don't tell me how to feel about such an important issue as this, for it involves policies that guard the safety of my country, province, and city.  Personally, I don't WANT anyone to _not_ be quarantined when they come to Canada for the foreseeable future (by which I mean before a safe and effective vaccine comes out for ordinary folks here, or a powerful antiviral treatment is found and widely available, which is likely in 2021 sometime at the very earliest).  Repatriated Canadians, Yuzu, his mom, or any non-essential visitor having to follow sensible quarantine rules seems less a matter of pessimism or optimism over the presence of COVID-19 in the world come late June/early July, and more a case of me being optimistic that the local authorities care enough for our essential workers and most vulnerable citizens to not loosen our border closure too early, and to not do away with our quarantine rules that are definitely helping keep local residents safe.  Note: I don't think Yuzu and his family would want to be given any kind of uniquely exceptional treatment in this context.  Nor would I want them come here only to have to worry about their safety because the feds and province underestimated community spread here, or opened things up before we had sufficient testing and tracing capacity for a much more open society (not going into that here in detail, but everything I've seen suggests that we are improving, but we are also not there yet).

 

I suspect you were not trying to be flippant, but I've had American relatives asking me repeatedly when Canada will do them the favor of opening up ASAP for their own convenience.  Canada only should re-open broadly when it is safe and sensible to do so for the people who are here and not just because a non-resident like my relatives wants to be able to drive a shorter route to their seasonal residence, or so a favorite elite athlete can get to their usual training centre on time.
