As soon as I heard Carol say she didn't care what it was about, I knew the knives would be out for her because people would take it too literally. To many it sounded as if she really didn't care what it was about... when in reality she means it's so beautiful to watch that she didn't need to know what it was about to appreciate its beauty anyway. It was beautiful no matter what. This was actually a compliment. I"m sure if she knew what this program was about she never would have said that.

Well, this is exactly what the twitverse is complaining about. They're of the opinion that the necessary info is only a Google away, so why not do the research beforehand? Among other things. 

 

Anyway the Planet has a rule against bringing drama from other forums and platforms into this space, so I'm just going to stick to it as one example of @Henni147's category 4 people and leave it at that. 

 

@Henni147 I can see why people misconstrue Kurt's commentary from time to time, but as someone who's grown up listening to him, it's pretty clear to me that no matter how much his foot is jammed in his mouth at times, he always has good intentions. He's not deliberately trying to be insulting at any point (unlike JW for example), even though sometimes it does come out sounding like it. 

 

All I'm saying is, no matter how complimentary the CBC crew try to be about Yuzu, there's always someone waiting to jump on the things they get wrong. I don't know why that is, but there you go.

Here is a website that gives a fairly comprehensive history of "purin" arriving in Japan (19th c "Podding") plus modern variations (which include some of your examples) and the detailed step-by-step recipe for making the Japanese "purin".  It's in Japanese but I think google can translate well enough?

ooh, Thank you!

I just want to say that learning about the etymology of pudding/purin is such an unexpected delight. Thank you to everyone who has shared their knowledge

Just Yuzu nonchalantly doing a jump while fixing his necklace.

This may be old news and might have already been posted here before the Worlds.  ICYMI, here is the TV program S-park (Mar 21 2021) where Yuzu talks about his admiration for Uchimura Kohei, starting around 3:07 mark on the vimeo video (attached to the thread).   He is impressed and inspired by Uchimura pushing himself at age 31 and learning to perform the H-level ("Bretschneider") move - a release with two flips and two twists in the tucked position - on the horizontal bar.   Perhaps not quite the level of quad axel in FS, but it is considered the most difficult release on the horizontal bar.  

 

 

 

Yay maybe another 5 years of Yuzu in competition then!!?!  31 yr old Yuzuru OMG I cant wait to see him...where are the 2026 Olympics again??

I have seen Uchimura talk about Yuzu and realised he was a famous sports person in Japan but that is all i knew.

Just reading the Wikipedia article for Uchimura: It's like reading the article for Yuzu - Multiple gold medalist, GOAT, best of the best, multiple world record holder, does difficult things, older than most, always challenging himself (and not bad to look at)

No wonder Yuzu admires Uchimura. They are each other's Yin and Yang. I dare say that Yuzu sees so much of himself in Uchimura and relates to him thus as Uchimura is probably one of only a handful of people in the world that might "get" Yuzu.

I remember watching a video where Yuzu was nonchalantly doing a complicated spin whilst simultaneously taking his clothes off. 

He's quite a bit talented isn't he?

Well, Yuzu’s idol, Evgeni Plushenko, was 31 when he competed at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics… Milano Cortina 2026 – The first quadruple consecutive Olympic gold medalist in figure skating? First the quad Axel and then the quad Olympic gold medal… We can dream.

Well, if Kaori Sakamoto's scalping judges is the new standard of "skating close to the boards", then it must be said this is not a "fake news". But then nobody but her is "skating close to the boards". (Must I say I love her audacity and humour?)

How funny antis have to resort to easily debunkable fake news, showing by this how superior Yuzuru Hanyu's skating is in every aspect.

An involuntary, simplified version of reductio ad absurdum somehow.

I had never seen this before. Fun to watch team Japan cheer for Yuzuru in 2015 WTT.

I actually wonder, who is closer to the boards: Panel slayer Kaori or Yuzu, who is literally disappearing behind the boards during TenChi step sequence:

Seeing this again reminds of just why POTO is my favorite Yuzu program and his 2nd POTO costume my favorite Yuzu costume.  If he decides to recycle a program for Beijing I would strongly recommend this, although I think he might consider my 2nd favorite Yuzu program, Masquerade, as an alternative.  Either way, both would work as the program in which he could introduce Nessie to the world.
