The approval of another OCD Japanese perfectionist must be particularly sweet.

The Japanese delegation makes the move to PC on 4 February.  Will Yuzu travel with it or with TCC (whenever it makes the move)?  Also, will Yuzu stay in the Olympic village or in a separate site.  Security in the village will be the same for everyone but a separate site will allow TCC to arrange for security appropriate for Yuzu, since his security needs are much higher for him than for the other athletes, perhaps the highest of anyone, since he has the highest public profile of anyone there (that's based on his worldwide coverage, which may be less in the specific countries of his main rivals, although I do think he'll figure in those countries' coverage as being the one to beat for the local favorite).  I read somewhere on this thread, although I can't remember when, that he did not stay at the Olympic village at Sochi.  I would think that his security needs are much higher this time around as he's far better known than back in 2014.  Also I do remember someone stating that Yuzu will not participate in the opening ceremony because of his asthma although at another place somebody said he did participate in Sochi.  It would be nice to get some clarification here from somebody on top of the issue.  All in all, as the day of reckoning approaches and the athletes start to congregate, it will be interesting to see how the various arrivals are covered.  In theory every athlete is a very important person, but nobody can deny that in fact Yuzu is a very, very, very important person.  The coverage of his arrival will be huge in comparison to most of the others.  Evgenia's will be big but this year the men are very much in the spotlight since it's been some time since we had an Olympics where the men's competition is so deep.

According to himself here, he did. So as far as we know, he stayed there at least during the team and individual competitions. Whether or not he continued to stay there after is anyone's guess.

I'm nowhere on top but I was the one who said he was there for the opening and gave a description of what I recall seeing. I started doubting myself and did a more thorough search this time around and found out 2 things:

 

1) the image I had in my head of him marching along everyone else is actually from the closing ceremony: (1) and (2)

 

2) this is apparently an image taken of him from the opening ceremony but I dunno how accurate that claim is.

 

So even though I was before, I no longer am sure if he showed up at the opening ceremony in sochi. And there's no way to tell if he'll go to this one either, given the various circumstances.

 

And this is the extent of my contribution to the subject. Won't have anything further to add. Sorry if I confused you before.

I can't believe we've officially entered February

After a google search with that image, it seems that's also from the closing ceremony: http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2014/02/24/gazo/G20140224007655440.html
