sallycinnamon Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 She is Mami Yamada who taughed Yuzu when he first started skating at the age of 4. She still works as a coach, in Hokkaido. She was in the 24h TV last year, here's a clip with her and Yuzu: Link to comment

Also speaking of the name Ghislain... Spoiler ...I was idly searching for the given name Ghislain on Wikipedia, wondering if I would come across something interesting. Turns out that the namesake saint (St. Ghislain) is often portrayed in catholic iconography with a bear/bear cub by his side...and we here on the Planet (and anywhere else...where fanyus gather ) often called Ghislain papa bear! 🐻 I mean... WHAT ARE THE CHANCES https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Ghislain @Veveco as a non-native french speaker 😅😅🙈 I sometimes pronounce his name with a hard G 😅, but never with a silent s, with either version of the G pronunciation 😅🙈 though again, always ending it with the nasal N in either pronunciation case. Now I am not so sure why I share this, considering that it might just be another moot point anyway 😅😫🙈 (mon français est très cassé, hein! 😫😫) Link to comment

KatjaThera Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The one with the kid asking when he'll marry was in 2016 and it actually always makes me cringe. It was right after tabloids ran a story that supposedly Yuzu was going to marry a former classmate and it seems the rumor spread so much even kids heard about it and asked him about it... or at least I think the timing of that question at that time is too on point to be a coincidence. Yuzu was really mad about that rumor and it upset him a lot, so any reminder of it is for me. Link to comment
Crow Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 To me it seemed like he took it with good humor! I mean, it is a kid asking I doubt he would get mad at that. But who knows. Link to comment

The cats always seem fascinated. Guess they recognize one of their own. Link to comment

I can’t imagine how it feels to see the kid who couldn’t even balance on ice yet back then... become a two-time Olympic champion two decades later and know that you were the one who started his journey 😱 must feel incredible haha Link to comment
SitTwizzle Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 He seems to have had a very good balance from the beginning? Link to comment
