this olympics felt like the bitterest of winters, where anyone would have been forgiven for retreating into themselves, protecting their hearts. and yet we saw, day by day, practice by practice, the unshakeable love he holds for the ice thawing the cold, making the flowers bloom

"I love to skate and today I was happy."

I know it's distressing to hear about the state of yuzu's ankle but tbh, I think everything we've seen in the past few days has demonstrated that healing is so essential not only physically but emotionally, and I respect that he has been making a conscious choice here

What you found in your hardest moments was the courage to stand up, over and over again, and the even greater strength to share your smile with everyone around you. We remember, we thank you, and we are with you no matter what, miracle boy #ThankYouForBeijingYuzuru

"Hello this is figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu. Thank you for so much support this time. It's everyone's support that pushed me forward & made my performance possible. Truly thank you very much, I received a lot of strength. Please continue to support me from here on out. Thank you!" twitter.com/Japan_Olympic/…

Comment from Patrick on Yuzu's FS: He had an unlucky mistake in the SP so I felt like he had nothing to lose going into the FS. He already has 2 OGMs so I think he felt getting the Bronze didn't hold that much meaning (1/3) twitter.com/BluecosmosH/st…

"Hello everyone, this is figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu. If the Olympic Games were to be held in Sapporo in 8yrs time…let’s see. I hope the figure skaters will deliver their best performance and I...would also want to compete (laughs). But I’m looking forward to it that much!" (1/2) twitter.com/Japan_Olympic/…

Thinking about Takahara-san from Naraha in the 3.11 recovery region saying that she hopes Yuzu will not blame himself for feeling like he ran away & that it's because those feelings drove him to practice hard that he could cheer them up today twitter.com/11272yuzu22320…

I think there will always be a part of Yuzuru who skates for 3.11 - the victims, the memories, the survivors - and it's why I think his skating has this quality of healing, quiet acknowledgment and hope woven into it & is so deeply felt by those who have known all kinds of pain twitter.com/axelwithwings/…

The theme of the final sixth night's Sekkisei talk is 'returning to your origin'. Speed translation in thread below of main part.

Anastasia Tarakanova has retired at 17 - per Google translate on the article, due to a leg injury that now means she will have to say goodbye to the sport and perhaps deal with it the rest of her life. The worst part of this is how utterly predictable this was twitter.com/yurii_rusFS/st…

the contrast between kaori's 🌸😄🌸 and the smash cut to yuzuru channeling the power of god and anime sends me every time

Wakaba's right leg (shin) hasn't been in good condition since Olys but she didn't want it to be an excuse so she worked hard to come here. She did feel her heart was broken before she skated. Sensei said she didn't have to push for 3A but she wanted to bc she couldn't in the SP twitter.com/figure365/stat…
