I have a good quality video that I've downloaded previously from fsvids. I'll upload it to MEGA and post the link here when it's done. It's one of my favourite exhibition performance of his!

Edit: Here is the video - https://mega.nz/#!QoUizKpa!vF8tvRjS-osOtLLjzjlsLHOi1j074GAqAuf0251_dbM

There’s none, officially, as far as I know (Does anyone know of it?).
But, in my memory, the announcement of his summer shows last year was made since around May, so there’s any possibility that the schedule will come up later.

mmm.. I remember it was last week of April?.. :think:
 
Actually, they didn't annonce all the shows the same day. There were a bunch of dates the last week of April for FaOI (I made a little research on the thread). Then they added others shows later in May.
But anyway, I won't be surprised if this year it comes latter because of the injury. And especially if he doesn't go to the first shows, they may announce his participation mi-May for mid-June. I think it's better to be 100% sure of his participation, rather than saying he will be here, and to withdraw in the last minute.

Just want to drop some words: I am laughing at people who are writing Yuzuru off just because he only won silver at WC 2 times in a row. Dears, many people didn't expect Yuna to win 2010 so well when she bombed WC 2007 LP and WC 2008 SP despite wining GPF repeatedly. Not to mention she didn't have any triple axel. Look at what she did during 2009-2010. I'm never a fan of Yuna, but I bet her fans sometimes still laugh at those who wrote her off during the time she didn't win WC.
Well, I am thinking we will have the same experience in future. :laugh:

If people are writing Yuzu off, it will reduce the expectation and pressure on him, which is a good thing. No human being can deliver under that kind of enormous expectation. In Boston, after the SP, the entire skating world did not just expect him to win, but to be flawless and break the WR again.

It's probably even better if people keep writing Yuzu off all the way till the next Olympics, so Yuzu can compete under much less pressure. People will keep writing him off if he gives sup-par performances next season. It's very likely he will give some sub-par performances next season because he is trying to increase the difficulty of his programs.

I don't think that it's possible for Yuzuru to compete under much less pressure. It's not only about fans and skating community. He's putting unimaginable pressure on himself because of his fighting spirit. He wants to win with great performances. I think the only solution for him right now is to figure out how to deal with this kind of pressure. And I know he's going to achieve that.

At age 21, Yagudin lost everything to Plushenko. He lost his mentality. He put on 10 kgs. He almost quited FS. He insisted on "NO OLYMPIC". Tarasova threw him to a psychologist. At age 22 Yagudin won everything back including the OGM.
Before 20 years old, Plushenko also peaked mostly at GPF and he didn't peak his best at WC. After that he learned to always peak at the right time.
Yuna won GPF 2 years consecutively and was a favorite to win WC. She set WR in SP at WC 2007, then fell 2 times in the free and got the bronze. In WC 2008 she bombed the SP, won the LP but still lost. And by 2009 she lost the GPF but won 4CC and WC in the end. Oh and don't forget as great as Yuna was, she still lost WC 2010 and WC 2011 after setting WR.
These 3 skaters are among the best competitors of all time, and they all won OGM. The pressure on each if the certainly was huge.
Yuzuru is definitely no less than them as a competitor.

Pretty much everyone bombs under that kind of pressure he faced in Boston. (Yuna Kim bombed the 2010 WC because after setting the WR at the Olympics, the pressure on her was too big for her to handle.) If it's only the pressure coming from himself, it's not that big because the expectation only comes from one person. He has always had expectation for himself because he always wants to win with good performances, not just at 2016 WC, and he never performed as poorly as he did in Boston. But if millions of people (if we include everyone in Japan) expect him to be perfect, the weight of expectation is much bigger.
