Well, I am from the US, so it does annoy me how much misinformation people directly around me get from the media. They basically think Nathan is Yuzu and has been dominating the sport for the last couple of years, and when I tell them there is a Japanese skater who has all the records and is actually a favorite to win, they get really confused. Many of them thought that Nathan's score at the Olympics was a world record, and when they're told otherwise, they can't comprehend it because he landed the most quads so how could anyone score higher? Anyway, I don't mind casual fans at all, but it does get a bit annoying when the casual fans are not just ignorant, but have outright misconceptions that are hard for them to reconcile with reality because they were introduced to the sport in such a biased way.
Those casual viewers who think Nathan is Yuzuru misinterpreted the news of the media
hype because they knew little about figure skating. Misinterpreting does not equal to being misinformed.
Because it is these type of fans/media that come with statements the OG Gold is Nathan's Gold to lose or Nathan gifted the OG Gold to Yuzuru(Olympic threads).
And we have to Constantly and repeatedly hear that for the next 4 years, ever since the Olympics ended.
I didn't see any media said the OG Gold is Nathan's Gold to lose. As for some fans opinions, people believe what they want to believe.
No matter what, Yuzuru is 2-time OGM besides Dick Button.
