Yep, this... sometimes, you are unlucky and you see them at a time when it's really not wise to try and approach them. Yuzu, especially, is always with his team going around, when he's not on the ice. So the moments when it's safe to try and ask for a photo are really few! Best scenario: become a pro skater, somehow get to a big competition - you don't even have to win, just participate, and you'll be able to go to the closing Gala. Lots of occasions to talk to Yuzu there! Link to comment

I'm going to try very hard today to rekindle my interest in whatever I was interested in before skating, if I can remember what that was. Link to comment

My friend said that Nathan was super nice and looked very pleased to sign for her 😀. Now , who's at the same rink as Yuzu? I'm also wondering if it is too much for my friend to ask Nathan for Yuzu' s autograph.... I've got Nathan's autograph at GPF and it was quiet easy. Before the men's practice on Thursday he came and just sat among the audience. At first nobody noticed him but in 10 minutes people started to group around him and ask for autographs and photos. I think all this finally scared him a lot and he ran away . I managed to get Brian Orser's autograph as well and this one meant quiet a lot for me because he was my favourite skater when I was I kid and now coaching my favourite skater of all times. On the last day I met Shoma at skater's entrance after the Gala and he was really nice signing patiently for everybody who asked. And finally I got to see Yuzu leaving in a taxi... Link to comment

I also met Brian Orser before the Sochi Olympics (and then later at Junior Worlds and in Helsinki), he is very nice in person. I have a picture with him. In Helsinki I met a couple of skaters too. Nathan and Javi were standing alone on the corridor for about 15 minutes - they had more time because it was Friday, the day between SP and FS. On my flight back home from Helsinki one of the photographers I met showed me his collection of signatures from figure skaters. He proudly told me that he had the chance to meet Yuzu before the exhibition and got a signature from him. So for the rest of the journey he gave me his collection and I hold Yuzu's signature in my hands. It was a beautiful ending of one of my best weekends of my life. Link to comment

Those seats really have no backs? I thought it must be an optical illusion on TV! Why would they build that? (I may have completely missed the point of your post. ) ETA very important thing: Awwww, lil Shoma. Link to comment
