Mountain upon mountain for Yuzu 

Re Oly judges: This MUST be on purpose, choosing judges and tech panel controller who have known negative bias to Yuzu - how are they selected by the way? I find it hard to believe it's random, much more likely to be another piece of the jigsaw to ensure a US victory....along with a dodgy bio for Yuzu (again!!)

Well, at this rate, Yuzu skating clean with him landing 4A to his satisfaction is enough to me. Whether a totally corrupted system will give him his deserving gold is out of my interest. He is far beyond all of them combined.

I always said the consistency of overscored skaters such as Nathan is due to his knowledge that the judges are on his side (plus his empty programs that he knows will be highly scored regardless of their emptiness). Such a dirty battle and dirty competitors.

I just hope that Yuzu manages to endure this mental battle and skate clean (he proved he is completely capable of that). Clean performances of Yuzu will go down the history, no matter the color of the medal.

Let’s not forget, either, that a sufficiently egregious result can blow up the entire system when it happens on the Olympic stage. (See: Salt Lake, 2002.) That might be the only legacy better than a 3rd OGM. 
Of course, that scenario would probably require JSF to grow a spine, but a fanyu can still dream.

Olympics has added the two Olympic gold medals to his profile, though they didn't add any other titles and didn't edit/correct anything else either.

I saw Hanyu at the All-Japan Championships, and that motivated me to train harder. I thought that Hanyu was so great that he was in a different league from me. Of course, all the competitors were good, but Hanyu was especially great. I'm glad I could participate in All-Japan.

It's especially weird because up until recently, it seemed like the Olympic channel social media manager was a fanyu, tweeting about Yuzu every chance they got. Surely they'd notice this was wrong and fix it?

Probably another thing IOC has outsourced to US media…

That or it's someone using Google Translate really badly on articles from already questionable sources...apparently they say Keegan has a daughter! Poor Wyatt, not even 6 months old an the IOC is already mixing him up with a girl...

I wrote and suggested they look at Wikipedia - such an anti-Yuzu bias. (They'd have seen that Keegan has a son, not a daughter, on Wikipedia.)  I, too, wonder where this came from after they've even been using him for promotional purposes.  (And I can'r even read any of the press on these Olympics,  it's all NC.

I'm feeling oddly sanguine.  I'm determined to just be grateful to see the athletes I support and ignore all the rest of the nonsense.

[Guest turquoiseblue]

When I asked IOC to correct the mistake in an article on Yuzu around the Pyeongchang Olympics, they immediately (within 10 hours or so) replied telling me that they had fixed it. They were a little bit better back then
