at least he recognised at the end that someone was filming him... but I don't understand why they respect athletes' privacy??? 

 

At this point he really should carry a screen to change behind. The networks can’t be trusted to be decent human beings.

anyone else just repeatedly rewatching the SP and grinning like a dang fool the whole time?

*edited for bad grammar in my anger lol

Yeah, the dressing thing is really... I completely and absolutely disapprove of that for absolutely anybody and everybody who hasn't actively invited the cameraperson to shoot it knowing full well it's going to be blasted on the webbernets. If they choose to, more power to them. But these are practically creepshots, wtf.

Well at least Kikuchi partially shielded his lower half. 

I think we found a use for fan banners-toss one to his team each competition so it functions as a make shift screen, drape it around him when he changes just to be safe.

I’m still too overwhelmed by everything. I saw it on repeat a few times but I’m just too drained to feel anything but relief.

his face at the k&c was so heartbreaking  

I'll fight anybody who tries to kick him when he's down, no lie. Media and casual fans better not turn on him.

I think I might want to sleep. BUT! Guys, when is his next practice???

(I think I might wake up just in time to see it) 

Well he wasn't in the dressing room (he was about to change in warm-up area. Is this what some of you guys referring to, right?) so it was more of his mistake. Thank god someone warned him immediately.

CBC explained it best. The hype and media pressure was too much. It's his first Olympics...let the kid breathe!

Yeah this time wasn’t particularly bad but I’ve seen them do much worse and it’s obvious from the looks on the faces of his team that they really hate it.

Sleep is for wimps. What sleep.

 

I think I just annoyed everybody I know with whatsapp messages about this

Common decency should still apply even to people with cameras. If it would be rude and intrusive to stare, don't film it.
