Okay, if we're going for the what ifs, then we have to apply it both ways. What if Yuzu never suffered an injury? What if he skated clean in both programs? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but at Worlds, Nathen skated both programs clean with 6 quads landed, right? and he received a total score of 321.40. This didn't even pass Yuzuru's total score at NHK Grand Prix Series, which he skated clean but wasn't at his GPF level. Given that both Nathan and Yuzuru had skated at max potential, so a perfect Nathan would have probably be around 320+ (overscored in PCs) while Yuzu would have be around 330-340 points (anything less would have been a scandal). Yuzu's layout for the free program has a higher based value than his free during GPF with 4 quads, 2 of them in combos, planned. So there's no way he wouldn't have gone over 330 total combination.

I don't think there is One can dedicate so much to skating like yuzu. This is a long-term effort accumulation and does not depend on whether you have "talent" of jumping.

Plus Yuzu is the most talented skater so far.

One thing that makes Yuzu a special person/skater is that he has great foundation and builds upon it over the year. He strives to perfect himself and be the best version of himself. He doesn't take shortcut and doesn't allow himself to. It doesn't matter whether he won or he scored well, as long as he feels that's not enough, he will keep on challenging himself. Who else can you say about that? He

They just won't stop ugh Olympics is over and Yuzu won fair and square. These scenarios they keep making are just downright pathetic now.

Lol, it's just the same old song again: "Chen's Worlds score would have taken Gold at the Olympics; we've never seen Chen and Hanyu hit all their jumps in the same competition". They just conviniently neglect the fact that Yuzu always managed to hit his jumps better than Nathan whenever they were in same competition. I guess they had to write something when Yuzu's total score is 13 pts higher than Nathan's in their analysis.

I don't understand the part "we've never seen Chen and Hanyu hit all their jumps in the same competition". Weren't they in Worlds 2017 when Yuzu had his historic flawless free skate? Nathan skated after him if I'm not mistaken.

Finally the new layouts are live  The default layout banner, Yin and Yang, was made by @Yep and it received the most votes. The other two are called Yuzu in Bloom and Full Circle and they were both made by @ranran! They both worked with us very hard to make matching avatars and test out the themes. Thank you to all the artists who submitted banners and everyone who voted 

The new banners and themes  they are all so beautiful

Yuzu in bloom is PERFECT I loved all the banners but I wanted that one so much and now we have it  so happy!

I'll stick to my precious swanyu for as long as it's available, though. My heart won't be able to take it once it's gone

I think they mean they've never both been clean at the same competition (Nate bombed 2017 Worlds).

It especially sucks as a US citizen who loves Yuzu because unless we search out the information ourselves, we get fed all the hyped US-only information from the news. I refuse to go on NBC or anything to watch competitions because I know it's gonna be biased propaganda for US skaters. Like, yeah, Nathan is incredible and a lot of what he does is hard af but I can only take so much of US media insisting that Nathan or Adam should have won the Olympic gold over Yuzu, Shoma, or Javi. Suddenly the short program doesn't even exist, I guess

I know it's good to uplift your country's athletes, but completely ignoring and downplaying another athlete's achievements isn't the way to go about it. "If Nathan skated his PB, he would have won!!" lmao yeah and if Yuzu skated his best, literally nobody could have come near him 

You've just reminded me of something. While I was at Skate Canada, I got chatting to the American woman sitting next to me, and she mentioned that the NBC Olympic coverage was so over-the-top people were  literally believing all the US skaters had a shot at gold. (Well, technically not wrong, if everyone else ahead of them had simultaneous food poisioning and couldn't skate or something...) 

 

Anyway, my new acquaintance said it was so refreshing to see skating live and be able to witness to the fact that there were other great skaters out there. Some of whom she'd never seen, because NBC doesn't show them that much.

But.... why does she look so bored?!  I would be grinning like an idiot the whole time!

 

Hmmm... on second thought, probably best I am not in her position.

I want to share very personal story. It is kind of sad and if you have lost someone very recently, you probably don´t want to read further. This is also very long, so feel free to skip this.

I have watched figure skating pretty much all of my life, but when I first saw Yuzu on tv, I became his fan. It was Cup of China 2011. I lived with my mother because her health wasn´t the best and she needed my help. My mother couldn´t understand at all what had happened. I think she thought that I had become crazy. When it was competition weekend she just rolled her eyes because I spent so much time watching "some Japanese boy".

When I bought the tickets for the WC 2017 she began to take things more seriously. We had to plan her care for the time that I was in Helsinki, and I know that she watched the competition on tv. After that her attitude changed. She no longer rolled her eyes when I said it was "a Yuzu-weekend". We started to plan our schedule together so that I could watch the competition. She bagan to ask how was the competition and I started to tell her more about Yuzu and show her some pictures and videos.

In January 2018 my mother got sick very seriously and before I could even understand the situation, she passed away. One of the last things she said to me was: "You will be fine. Think about positive things. Think about Yuzu." Her funeral was the day before Yuzu arrived in Korea. The Olympics and the events after that helped me so much. Smiling and happy Yuzu has the best healing power.

When ISU announced about Helsinki GP, I knew right away that I was going there. The only bad thing was that it was held in the same weekend when we have a tradition to go to church to remember our loved ones and light a candle for those who have passed away during the year. I was very sad that I couldn´t attend this but my aunt promised to go there so I traveled to Helsinki.

I have a bad habbit of second guessing myself, and in Helsinki I was asking myself if I was doing the right thing. I was little bit sad and thinking about my mother a lot. I was sitting in the area where Yuzu does the combination in SP and starts the step-sequence. I had priviledge to see that moment three times during the practices and competition, and every time that part of the program moved me to tears. After Yuzu´s perfect SP I found myself thinking that it was the right place for me to be, and that my mother would be so happy to see my happiness. Maybe I needed Yuzu in my life to be able to survive this period of my life. I am so happy that I did go to Helsinki. It was one of the best experiences in my life.

My friends and relatives know that I have intrest in figure skating but they don´t know how bad it is. I am a very private person and for me being a Yuzu-fan is a very private thing. Now I just had this feeling that I want to share my story with people who maybe understand what I am talking about.

 

 

(I lost my father a year ago for sickness too) There is no words to say when you lost a parent so I send you a super big hug. 

[Anzi]

That's why I introduce Yuzu to my parents. I want to share my parents with Yuzu performance, his stories which embody the most beautiful mind and spirit of all beings in this universe. I want to share my joy with my parents and make them be joyed too
