A costume is something you wear for a performance, not when you go to buy croissants in the local bakery in the morning. It should relate to the choreography, character etc. And that should never be forgotten. Undoubtedly in figure skating from time to time we see athletes wearing something… disputable (I don’t think I’ll ever forget Domnina and Shabalin and their „Aboriginal” costumes from Vancouver) but I would never consider any of Yuzuru’s costumes fitting into this „category”. I saw people being surprised by Yuzuru’s costumes, sometimes even a bit put off by them, but I don’t think he is the first one to cause that reaction. I would say that Johnny Weir’s SP costume from OWG 2010 was more „shocking” at least to my friends that watch figure skating only when I tell them to do so. Of course it’s a bonus when a skater has their own style in costumes. In a way I can say that Nathan has his own style too, although it’s a rather boring one ;- ) but tbh if he wore something more „creative” I would feel almost like he is cheating (and I even like his last FP shirt, but I suppose after the „scrambled eggs one” everything is an upgrade). Also, not everyone would look as good as Yuzuru in that kind of costumes that he often wears. Skaters have different body types and that should be considered too. Why would you wear a swan costume if you don’t look gracefully enough in it? Not a lot of men would be able to pull off that look! I think we just should be happy that there is someone that can do it in a very aesthetically pleasing way ;-) Link to comment

At the end of the day we are always the winners, because watching Yuzu skate is a win by default, no matter what the scoreboard and result table looks like. Every Yuzu performance is a jackpot for us. The scores are meaningless because it is akin to a God being judged by mere ignorant mortals. Link to comment

I totally agree because Yuzuru Hanyu is his own harshest critic and is rarely truly and completely satisfied with his performances even when people like Shizuka Arakawa, Nobunari Oda, Shuzo Matsuoka, Massimiliano Ambesi and other expert commentators are raving about them. In his post-performance interviews with Shuzo Matsuoka, even when the program seemed perfect to others, Yuzu almost always seems to express a bit of “kuyashi” and a need to improve. Link to comment

Yes...but then Yuzu is so expressive and cannot help but look disappointed when the scores don't reflect his efforts, and then we are also disappointed and cross even though we have seen a wonderful performance. I really do wish I could just ignore the scores, but Yuzuru doesn't ignore them, and neither can I (when one is competitive by nature, it's hard not to look and take notice of scores and I think that although nearly all of Yuzuru's fans appear to have an artistic nature and appreciation, we also mostly love competitive sport and that usually means we are somewhat competitive individuals too - well I can only speak for myself but those are my thoughts!) None of us like to see Yuzuru disappointed, most of us love to see him win because we think that's what he deserves! So unfortunately I think the scores do affect most of us. I actually sort of dread them now. It's was so wonderful watching the recent ice show performances, and the 24 hour tv ones too - so beautiful, so appreciated, such excitement, none of the disappointment/anger. But then I cant bear the thought of Yuzu NOT competing lol!! I dunno, what are we supposed to do??! Just carry on supporting him and loving him I guess, and putting up with the emotional ups and downs of doing so! He must be worth it, thousands (millions!) of us are together with him on this ride!
