I'm talking about romantic partner not figure-skating.  Yuzu is much too small to be a skating partner and you need to have real upper body strength.  There's a reason all the pairs and dance men are big and strong.  You have to have upper-body strength to throw those ladies around like they do and you have to have height to lift those ladies off the ice.

Excuse-me :facepalm:

Yuzu has strength in his legs and, from the one glimpse we've had of him shirtless, a reasonably defined torso but he's no Arnold Schwarzenegger.  The same rule applies in figure-skating as applies in ballet - the men have to be big and tall and the ladies short and petite.  Those women are subject to the same laws-of-gravity as the rest of us and it's not simply a matter of lifting them off the ice but also maneuvering them while off the ice.  Yuzu's strength is where it counts, primarily in the legs.  I'm sure he can lift a fairly hefty load but I doubt he can manipulate it while holding it aloft.  Also he's only 5'8", a great height for a skater, a diver, or a gymnast but hardly sufficient for a pairs or dance skater.  You have to have altitude to keep the ladies from scraping the ice when handling them at low altitudes.

I mean the first sentence in your comment. The rest has nothing to do with me.

Han is 5'7'' according to the internet.  I love Sui/Han for many reasons, but one of them is that they are a normally proportionate couple.  Han is just fabulous.  But I can't really imagine Yuzuru as part of a pair - can't imagine him wanting to.

Hey guys :peek:

 

I just want to quote one of our forum rules here as a reminder

- Don't post speculation, whether your own or someone else's, that malign anyone, including but not limited to skaters, their families, and members of this platform or others. Potentially harmful, unproven speculation may be moderated with discretion from staff members.

 

This rule also concerns speculating about the nature of Yuzu‘s relationships with his friends!

Imagine Yuzuru with bulky muscles lifting someone :laughing:
