About Brian just filling in details about Jin, I am sure he knows Yuzu enough which lead to opening the topic to him that way.
I would like to see this as a chance for Yuzu to observe another good jumper upclose.
It could rise his competitive spirit and motivate him to heal his injuries so he can be at par with his competitors.
I don't know if he is aiming for Beijing. I saw a clip from CNN after winning Sochi 2014 he was very vocal about Pyeongchang 2018.
I would love to see him there though and win Gold, but since it so far in the furture and he is yet to heal plus the future is full of surprises, all I/we can do is to love and support him at present.
2018 is going to be so exciting.

There will be a show this evening, and I'll be watching the twitter feeds to see how the show goes. Yesterday, I had an afternoon off, so of course, I sketched Yuzu.
http://figureskating-in-color.tumbl...uru-hanyuwould-you-look-at-that-it-looks-fine I've been using my B pencils more these past few weeks, rather than H. It gives a rough and more wild look to artwork, which is useful sometimes. This one was H-5B pencils.

Your artwork is so pretty! The costume actually looks great here!

I think you made it look like it was conceptualised to be.

Thanks I didn't refresh before posting. This award is highly regarded in Japan, right? and he's the youngest to get it. Is there anyone else from winter sports who got this award before?

Congrats to Yuzuru on his award, if only I could see the haters’ faces [emoji48]

Not that I can think of...he may be the first! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Honour_Award here's the list.

Here's a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Honour_Award I assume it's complete since Japanese version also has 26 people + Yuzuru (yeah... it's already updated )

edit:

The 23-year-old would also become the first Winter Olympic athlete, and, as an individual, the youngest to receive the award.

Thanks!!!! I was reading the wiki page and it just occurred to me that habu also got the award earlier this year. Can't wait for the habu & hanyu talk show in the future

 

[shiroKJ]

The amazing thing is that this award needed to be voted on by the Japanese gov and it was unanimously endorsed

 

[sun110]

Hopefully we'll have a translation of the news soon. Was the voting mentioned in the news?
