I will be working from home most of the days but have taken half day off on Men's SP and FS days just in case. I know my birthday wish next month will be very selfless *patting myself for being a good girl finally* I can relate, I'm in the same working situation, but just to be doubly, triply safe, I've taken the whole day off on both Men's SP and FS days sending all good wishes to Yuzu.

January 24, 20224 yr Share this stats table here too, because I feel that it can't be stressed enough that Beijing will be Michal Brezina's 4th Olympics already! Other honorable mentionings: Alexei Bychenko, Brendan Kerry and Yuzuru Hanyu will compete at their 3rd Winter Games! Shoma Uno completes the duo of Olympic medalists in men's singles, Jason Brown the quintett of the Sochi uncles and Keegan Messing the trio of the +30 year old pillars of longevity in the men's event. Congrats! Another note: everyone will be older than 18. Yeey! This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Yuzu holds 2 of those medals, and both of them are gold.

Sorry to be Yuzu-centric again but I really love this table because it so clearly demonstrates Yuzuru's amazing stats compared to all the others!! (I love it for all the things you have mentioned too but the first thing I looked at was how does Yuzu compare with all the rest!) Thanks for putting this together, you are a wonderful resource for us all!

The bright side of unemployment lol, no need to miss any figure skating :'> I'm glad that during this time you will be able to enjoy the skating, and any of the other Olympic sports you enjoy. Being unemployed can be rough, I think most of us have been there, but if I had to choose a time for it, it would be during the Olympics, especially with Yuzu participating again... it happened to me, way back for Athens in 2004. I just enjoyed the Olympics as much as I could ( I didn't have any favourite athletes or sports at the time, though) and a few weeks after that I was working and I haven't had a real holiday since... Right now I'm working with covid patients every day, and so every day I wonder, is this the day I test positive and get sent home for isolation? It could happen any day, so I"m hoping that if it does, it falls during the Olympics!! I like Bing Dwen Dwen too, in those pins... Olympics are soo soon.... i'm starting to get excited after seeing those photos of people leaving and arriving. Having some athletes test positive would make the sports very interesting, especially if they are some of the top athletes, but I sincerely hope that this does not happen to anyone. No matter who my favourites may be, no one deserves to have their dreams ruined by testing positive. Happy and healthy travels to all the athletes.
