Yes?

I've been out travelling all day and checking maybe every 2 hours. It was a serious question. I found the news article.

Ah, I see.

 

He has withdrawn, following medical advice. He appears to have ligament damage. LCL, in the knee, according to most reports. We don't really have more information than that, except that his team seem to be focusing on nationals, which would mean the damage isn't nearly as bad as it could've been and he could be fine and training in a couple of weeks.

I was listening and unfortunately it's just the latest of many gaffes

yeah tbh I'm not a fan of adding mark in (he replaced the other british uncle who used to commentate with the other guy). I wonder if there's a way we can compile a list of their gaffes to write a formal complaint : /

well, those lucky people who decided to go even if no superstars show up, they would be in for a pleasant surprise if he goes.

it's risky because it's so close to the Olympics... but are there any other challenger things before that? (I think there were... Yuna did right? I'm seeing some scary parallels between her pre-Sochi season and Yuzu's...what if that means he'll do 2 clean skates tho)

 

Breaking the silver curse there may be a motivation booster
