Seeing this unexpectedly, first thing in the morning--it will be a very touching reminder all day of what is truly important in life. Thank you, sweetwater, for posting.

All top Chinese skaters are obligated to participate in Asian Games and not go to 4CC. The Chinese fed didn't even give their top skaters the option to skip Asian games and compete in 4CC.
I don't know where people can think that flu, not a common cold, is not a serious illnes. In Europe, it's a very serious matter. In my country, every year, the Health System advise to get vaccinated against the flu. There are groups of risk (people over 65, people with cardiopathies or similar, diabetics, asthmatics, individuals with kidney diseases, pregnant women, health personnel, firefighters,...) whom the vaccine is free. The Health System spends millions of euros every year only on prevention. It's true that if you are a healthy person, flu will go only with high fever (38º-40º), headache, joint paint, aching muscles, tiredness and weakness, chills...And the Health System recommendations are painkillers, stay at home, avoid contact with other people where possible, keep warm and rest and so. If some complications appear, which is not strange, such us pneumonia or some respiratory problems, people will need other medicines or be hospitalized (sorry for the long explanation, I work in a Health Center and we're in the middle of the season of the flu) So, I don't understand why some people think Yuzuru should skate with flu at all
. Football is the main sport in my country, and every year some players can't play important events because of the flu. And nobody thinks they should play under those conditions :dev2:
Now that the initial shock wore off, I'm just sad...:sad4: More than I thought I would be...

Short and right to the point. I look forward to seeing our boy back.
I am more shocked by this: http://www.icenetwork.com/news/2016/12/21/211965526Now that the initial shock wore off, I'm just sad...:sad4: More than I thought I would be...
"He gets pretty excited/competitive on those practices," said Hanyu's coach, Brian Orser, in a text message. "I saw a quad axel once on one of those practices!"
To be honest, I'm not too shocked. There's quite a number of skaters training the 4A. But Brian didn't precise if it was a clean one. Yuzu had said in the past that he landed UR 4A. It could have been one of them.I am more shocked by this: http://www.icenetwork.com/news/2016/12/21/211965526

I'd love to see that. With Yuzu being like "Let go!!! I wanna jump!!!Sometimes I wonder if during practices Orser and company just try to rein him in by using words, or if from time to time someone actually has to sit on him, like, literally sit on him to hold him down.

" lol!
i even did a little drawing and posted it on twitter with the hashtag some japanese are using, i guess that's the only thing i can do to support him now
!Mann I feel bad for Bryan honestly hahaha i feel like having a student like Yuzu is a blessing but also brings headaches hahaha Imagine when the practice is over and Bryan be like "ok guys, let's go home. Make sure u guys go get a good rest" but instead of seeing Yuzu getting off the ice, he sees a quad axel instead lol
Yuzu is like an adorable super talented athlete that sometimes could be annoying bc he is hard to control hahaha but then he is always getting better bc he is uncontrollable so by the end of the day u could only take a step back and shake ur head hahaha
Not giving pressure but how great it would be to get a chance to see Yuzu jumps a quad axel in competitions. It is Yuzu's dream since he began skating to jump a quad axel in a competition and it is my dream as his fan to be able to watch it![]()
Another one should be in ignore list. No respect to the coaches Yuzuru has chosen whatsoever. Yuzuru won't improve anything by coming back to coaches in Sendai. They simply have no facilities and support for his current level. Dream on.I can't really picture Borser as a Yuzu's victim, maybe the opposite :rofl2:

So? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. There are rules in place and they didn't just conjure up a special allowance for Yuzuru "super star" Hanyu. There are exceptions to the rules and JSF is using them to allow Yuzuru to go to Worlds and/or 4CC. That's what exceptions are for. And they are exceptions because they only apply for some and not all. I don't see why that's such a big deal.
