Ugh this. I never really understand why JSF is so incompetent when it comes to politic when Japanese people basically fund this sport right now.

This can make for a grand finale of a thesis for the Sport Politics and/or International Relations peeps  One of us should totally get to this, following Yuzu's footsteps

And now Phil hersh is comparing Yuzu to Captain ahab..i don't think i will survive olympic season propaganda

Block them out. Will save you some headache and out of madness. It will only become more insufferable from now on.

Seems like Yuzu will have to go to WTT .  And Shoma too, not Yuma ! I'm really worried about him since Osaka is having a major spike in the number of Covid cases, about 50% with the UK variant!  Wonder if he was given no choice.  I thought he was "safe" from going when he landed in Tokyo, rather than Kansai.  I live close enough to Osaka to try for tickets, but since most Japanese have not been vaccinated, I think it's much to dangerous to hold an event that size and is totally irresponsible.

Darn. Was hoping they would send Yuma and Shoma to WTT, since they are the JSF darlings. But I expected them to send Yuzu and Yuma since they were the WC medalists, but I guess they're going after the $$$ by sending Yuzu and Shoma.

 

I heard no quarantine for the international teams, and they're going to have an audience, so there's not going to be any bubble or testing either.

Totally agree that they want to make as much money as possible and they don't care at all about the risk they are putting their own skaters in.  Considering the price of the tickets, they would lose loads of profit if the event doesn't take place or takes place without an audience. Hoping that the Osaka government will put a stop to this; they have already started a semi-state of emergency where bars and restaurants have to close before 8 pm.

 

They are making an exception for those international teams, because France, Russia, USA, and Canada are still not allowed to enter Japan, and even if they could, there is a 14 day quarantine! Think they  (Seiko and TV Asahi) negotiated with the government --- could a native Japanese speaker confirm whether this is actually true please.

Just why?????

 

But also, what are the chances of it getting cancelled? It seems very likely that Osaka will declare state of emergency soon.

Yuzu & Shoma?? That's odd.

I thought it would be Yuzu & Yuma or Shoma & Yuma. To give Yuma some experience competing in Team events before 2022 Olympics.

Probably want to protect him from getting the virus and maximize profits at the same time. I am becoming very cynical indeed

The good thing - we will be seeing Yuzu again. The bad thing - Yuzu should be resting....

Well, it will more interesting if both Yuzu & Shoma decided to withdraw.

Hehe

 

[sallycinnamon]

They want to make money with WTT, sigh. I hope Yuzu stays healthy in the next weeks. 

[Melodie]

Full entries Since the gold medalists are here can they just send the silver medalists too, or can all teams follow Canada to send out alternative teams? Asking for a friend

 

[Muralla17]

I don't understand a word....

1) I didn't know Yuzu likes to attend WTT

2) If Japanese skaters have to be under isolation, that this means they won't be able to train until de competition?

3) What about skaters from other countries? Did they go back to their training bases and will travel to Japan with no quarantine in any direction?

 

Any info is wellcome since I don't really understand anything.

 

Thank you so much.

Wow for sure i thought Yuma and Shoma are the ones participating in WTT.I guess they aim for the ticket sales then.If no 14 days quarantine hope they atleast done PCR testing for all the foreigner skaters.How are skaters that attend Worlds able to come...for example Nathan said in the post competition press conference that his plan after Worlds is to spend time with family after finished the quarantine..Are they coming straight away from Sweeden to Japan?and i hope atleast the Russian skaters have the decency to wear properly while in Japan
