Yes Yuzuru is the most popular active athlete in China, and not only in figure skating but in all winter sports.

There is a vote on Weibo ( Chinese Twitter）for all active athlete, fans can support their favorite athletes everyday form March to December 2019. In winter sports, Yuzu got 310,544 votes now and the second athlete is Boyang Jin who got 44,255 votes. 

 

Off topic but I can scarcely imagine how popular Boyang. would be if he had an OGM.

I know that there's a huge Snooker boom in China at the moment. At the World Championships in 2016 incredible 27.1% of China's national TV audience watched Ding Junhui's semifinal match against Alan McManus and Ding has ~100 million supporters according to this article:

It would be interesting to know, how many Chinese fans Yuzu has in total numbers. It must be crazy, too.

I honestly believe we will see 4A before seeing Yuzu on a bike! (moving, two wheels, not tandem...)

Well even if we dont get to see him on a bike, I think the lycra outfit is a pretty good idea!

Oh Yuzu, what people would pay to hear you sing the Hime song (those who have watched Yowamushi Pedal knows what I'm talking about). Can this be part of the charity event?
