Surely they might do that now, since they are even covering 羽生結弦の写真撮るの下手くそ選手権 ??? They blocked almost all other SP uploads by now, so I guess they'll post theirs soon? Is it a new book?

Mr Hanyu saved it, from what I read, and unless they give the public what it wants and have FS in the summer games... >_> Link to comment

Remember that one time Mr Hanyu took his jacket off and it was so important that it was covered on every morning TV program? Link to comment
Sombreuil Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 32 minutes ago, ralucutzagy said: How the hell is the Tokyo committee responsible for the summer Olympics supposed to use a winter Olympic medallists popularity? It isn't an outpouring of support for the Olympic movement or sport in general or even figure skating - it isn't a national phenomenon either- it's a very specific expression of support and gratitude from his home town to one exceptional individual. Does anyone in the upper echelons of sports governing bodies ever do any homework before they come out with these soundbites? Link to comment
OonsieHui Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hmmm I seem to be the only one who didn't read it as capitalizing on Yuzu personally but on the potential for public support, with Yuzu being used as an example.... Link to comment

Not even being subtle at all about the Olympics Games being a money-making branch of capitalism? Do I cry or do I laugh? Also, I don't think they need to worry about Japan not stepping up. Have you seen their presentation back in Rio? No way it will be less epic than that. And, man. You people separate the Winter Olympics from the Summer Olympics. I know seeing Yuzuru Hanyu's popularity now probably makes you regret that decision, but seriously. You just have to live with that decision and shut it. Link to comment
