Spain and Mexico are two different places 😭 that max pic has nothing in common with the Yuzu video

Oh dear anon,

I AM MEXICAN BORN AND GROWN I KNOW SPAIN AND MEXICO ARE TWO DIFFERENT PLACES.

I said they gave the same energy, because they both won with great performances, and they both honored the country they competed at, and their teammates, with the little gestures. Of Yuzu wearing the Spanish shirt and Max wearing a charro hat.

IT'S THE CONTEXT OF THE WHOLE THING NOT THAT THEY ARE IDENTICAL. That's why I just said energy.

why do this

and this

Give off the same energy. STOP IT WITH THE FIGURE SKATING AND F1 PARALLELS.

The rare axel-loop might be my favorite jump combination. There’s just something so pleasing about the flow of movement through it.

YUZURU HANYU IS GETTING MARRIED OMG OMG I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM HE DESERVES EVERYTHING! Congrats to him and his spouse!

The way RedBull Racing reminds me of the ruthlessness in Eteri's school.

Why do I keep finding all these paralels between figure skating and F1

(I would never claim that this data is 100% fact-checked—for someone who likes stats, I’m quite terrible at them. But I QA’ed and checked my work to the best of my ability!)

It’s very odd attempting to summarize his entire career into a one-sheeter, but I’m simultaneously amazed. Behind every number and every dot is undoubtedly a level of effort and dedication that only Yuzu himself knows of. He has always challenged himself to never let go of his artistic ability, even when taking on new jumps of new heights. What a magnificent competitive career; can’t wait to see where he’ll go from here!

In late 2013 the internet introduced me to a boy in a costume full of frills and jewels, skating to Parisienne Walkways. The way that boy skated drew me in right away and I needed to know who he was.

He flew in the air, he got so into the performance you barely noticed he was spinning 3 or 4 times in the air doing stuff only a very few select in the world can.

For the past 9 years I have watched that boy grow into the best male skater this sport has seen. I've watched his highs and lows. I cried tears of sadness when he competed in China in 2014, when he lost Worlds in 2016. I cried tears of joy when he won the GPF in 2015, when he won Worlds in 2017 and the Olympics in 2018. I woke up at insane hours to watch him compete.

Watching him live on FaOI in 2017 is still one of my happiest memories of my 26 years on this Earth.

As his competitive career comes to a close, I also change as a fan. I will still watch competitive figure skating, but not with the same intensity I used to.

It started with Yuzu, it ends with Yuzu.

So I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who I have met in this past few years. Figure skating has given me a lot, I met a lot of new friends who I still appreciate even if we don't talk as much. I started doing fan translations because i wanted to share what other people had to say about Yuzu. I found a new connection with my mother through figure skating and bonded over it, even convincing her to travel to Japan to watch FaOI.

And it all started with Yuzu.

So thank you Yuzuru Hanyu. For everything you did for the sport and for the way it affected me. Nothing but positive things. And for that he shall always remain my #1.

See you at the ice shows.

It's been a long time I posted something on here. Ngl it's been a rough time for the past few years as both my parents had and thankfully beat cancer and also I was finally able to obtain my Masters degree (during a pandemic).

Following Yuzu's announcement I just felt it's time to share my thoughts. I'm not very eloquent with words so I'm trying to keep it rather short. I'm feeling a little emotional since I followed Yuzu's career as competitive skater for the past 8 years and I never thought this experience would have such an impact on my life. I've met fellow fans on the internet and even in real life whom I consider my friends now. I'm thankful I got to see his brilliance on and off the ice. Of course witnessing his win at WC 2017 in person will remain one of my most special memories but even though he's younger than me he taught me so much what conviction, resilliance and passion means. I saw what pain but also pure joy skating competitions brought to him. The many fans are testimony of his great spirit and ethereal skating. I'm just so thankful to have been part of this chapter in his journey. I know it's not the end of his skating but never being able to see him compete again is really bittersweet since competitions were a special place where we got to experience his passion, a thrill and growth throughout the years which we won't get to see again.

I'm just happy for him that he could end this part of his life on his own terms with a big smile on his face and seems satisfied with what he achieved (rightfully so). Finally, I sincerely wish him all the best in his new endeavours so that he can broaden his horizon and get to experience many new things which he was denied before. Looking forward to see what the future has to offer him and what he'll share with us. So Thank you Yuzuru, all the best to a bright future!!
