This is really off topic and I didn’t know where to post it, but it made me really happy so I wanted to share it. (If this is the wrong thread I’m really sorry!)

 

Anyway, my mum used to watch figure skating back when Katarina Witt was competing, but hasn’t been interested since then and was actually really against me going to Finland to watch GP Helsinki live. Because of this I didn’t tell her too much about the skating aspect of the trip at first, but today she suddenly asked me if I could show her some of the performances I had seen there. 

 

So I showed her some of the skates I liked, and when we came to Otoñal her first comment was “Well, there’s not many male genes in him”, which I just sort of rolled my eyes at (I was too tired to discuss gender stereotypes and/or how genetics actually works). 

 

But then she was quiet for the rest of the performance, and at the end she suddenly said: “You know, figure skating is more beautiful than dancing. It has a flow that dancing can never get. But only if it’s done well, and that’s the difference between him and the others. They were waving their arms around between jumps; he’s actually dancing.” 

 

While I really like some of “the others” as well, it felt as if watching this performance she finally saw something of what I see in Yuzu’s skating. It felt like she got me a little bit, and understood why this is important to me. 

 

(She also refused to believe that Yuzu’s Salchow was a quad and not a double until I went back and showed her frame by frame, which says a lot about the extraordinary quality of that jump.)

That’s really a nice story to tell us. I am glad your mom appreciated his skating, and maybe she will start to follow the sport again!

I noticed that too! Most other celebrities or athletes doing such a commercial would have immediately put down the cup when they were told that the commercial shoot was finished. Not our boy Yuzu! That would have been too rude. He wanted to convey to the sponsor as well as the audience that he really did enjoy the product that he was endorsing.

 

(You have probably noticed that he does the same thing with Ghana chocolate bars. He keeps eating them. But, in that case, I think he really does like chocolate!)
