So cool, I hope Yuzu gets it!
Honestly, I think Mcmorris will win it. He suffered a life-threatening injury 10 month ago and came back. To be nominated as a figure skater and Japanese already says a lot.

Same thought
I watched the ceremony occasionally in the past and I can't remember anyone in specific...
The Laureus is comparable with the Oscar/Academy Award for actors, so even a nomination is a huge honor. The gathering of so many sport celebreties in Monaco is nothing you want to miss, I guess
Yes ! The Laureus is like the Oscars in sports, particularly for highly commercialised ones like tennis, golf etc ( since the awards tends to prefer these athletes). Not to say Asians barely get nominated let alone get awarded. Past nominees included like Phelps and Federer etc, and this year he is up against Woods in his category..it is pretty amazing for just getting a nomination for someone from Japan! Especially when there has never been figure skating.
I am glad he is getting his deserved recognition by foreign outlets like ESPN, Laurels, Chinese media etc.
(and he achieved all these by himself without the help of any PR agents too)
Ah, the Olympic China weibo had released their next stock of Yuzu warmup videos. All this focus on his rear and bottom is making me shy to watch lol. And the way he bowed so deeply at his coaches and the gym facilities before he goes out for the free skate is so typical Yuzu - always grateful and well mannered.
Here is the link.

I think I will try the exercise on chair he was doing because my back, neck, shoulders hurt while I am working at the office He is really used to be filmed, how can he be so calm and concentrate in that kind of situation, wow.
That's true. Would be great if yuzu could win it:luv17: I wonder how much the award committee know about figure skating. It's the first time a figure skater was nominated.But to have done all that combined, and achieve two Olympic records (short and combined)... he didn't just come back, he came back and smashed it.
I had a bunch of stretch routines, from quick warmup to serious stretch, so for what it’s worth: if you’re looking for something to do when “cold,” the seated cat pose/cow pose reps are solid. If you can stand, the standard cross-body arm stretch always worked for me. Add neck rolls as needed.
Gif of the day. Adorable dancing yuzu on the ice

Oh yes! And I'll trade you for this which made me laugh out loud because it is so true...

(I miss the murderface at competition, I do...)
I sometimes talk about Yuzuru's retirement with my co-workers and they always say kindly to me "You are going to be fine, he will do ice shows right?", but they don't know how much I am going to miss his murderface at the competitions (he will have that face if he tries 4A at the shows though...)

Also here is a dynamic pic of mixed reaction to when yuzu tried the boob skirt R&J costume

He could have been too excited by the fact he broke records in his short program at Sochi and couldn't sleep. But then I recalled reading somewhere that the skaters were being interviewed till really late so it probably affected their sleep pattern too. I don't think the Sochi splat fest for all men was purely coincidental. Well he clearly has become more experienced in PC how to deal with it all.
Love Brian's face there on that second one, and Yuzu's innocent beam of delight.
Thanks for that first one! I'd seen most of it, but not the translation of what he said to Denis - does he mean he didn't sleep the night before? If so, no wonder his free was rough....
Seriously?
