With his first ice show after turning pro, Hanyū Yuzuru questioned the notion that leaving competition was tantamount to retiring. The applause of the standing-room-only crowd of 7,900 spectators put to rest any question of his success.

If he eventually takes his show abroad, fans around the world will be able to see him performing as an athlete taking on new challenges, just as they did during his amateur competition days. Hanyū’s “second act” has just begun.

Great read!

Because of Yuzu’s final pose, it reminded many people of Uchimira.

Yes, this pose:

I immediately thought maybe II Volo because Notte Stellata and they were supposed to do FaOI in 2020, but they're actually doing a concert in Rio de Janeiro on March 11, so it won't be them.

So curious to see who the special guest may be!

Really hope it will be a gymnastic display with Kohei. Coincidence, yesterday I joked about putting mats on the ice for a floor display or even a high bar and for Kohei to perform his routine, would be wonderful. Kphei and Yuzu interview together took place at a hotel in Sendai. Ahh more dreaming....

I was wondering about his final pose, but even having watched the video with Kohei recently, it didn't occur to me. Fanyus are great detectives 

We will know tomorrow...

I couldn't help but remember this part of the talk between Yuzu and Kohei...

For those who don't know, Rika Hongo was also born in Sendai. 

Quick update: Yuzu's ice show article was reviewed and got a pass for display in the "Did you know"-section on the Wiki mainpage. So we will get to see him there again soon 

 

The exact date is not decided yet, but it should happen within the next few weeks. There are two possible hooks of which one will be used:

Did you know ...

• ... that two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu's self-produced solo ice show Gift, held on February 26, 2023, will mark the first time that an ice rink is set up at the Tokyo Dome?
• ... that with his self-produced solo ice show Gift, two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu will become the first figure skater to perform at the Tokyo Dome?

I am curious which one the Wiki team will choose. The first is one is more packed with infos about the show, the second one is more compact and catchy, but I would be happy with both.
