I hope they take it very slowly. I would imagine just stroking on the ice, feeling edges etc., would be the way to begin as that is how you would feel pressure on the foot (weight shifts etc) and notice any pain. I would think it would take time to get the foot used to it again... both feet for that matter... I wonder if it is like starting over. Well, he will be getting a great chance to really "feel" the ice and improve ss before he starts elements. Take that time, yuzu... slow and steady wins the race.
Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

From what i know that is the asian winter games. And as far as i know they never send their top skaters there. But if Japan is the host they would probably want yuzuru to attend to fill seats. I bet both yuzuru and shoma would prefer to attend 4CC instead.

it seems they might pass a rule that National champ might be sent to that Asian Game. Kobayashi said: "I know athlete want to do 4cc next year because it will be in the same venue with olympic, but I want the best athletes for asian game" or so.
I am super PUZZLED by this. Is it official or not? 4CC this season is wayyy more important!

Well, she sure understands the meaning of testing the Oly arena so... I assume Fed will think hard and take a wise decision that would benefit skaters best interests, including country's interests that are not only focused on Asian Games after all.
She said that? This seems to be a weird decision. Not just because of 4CC being an olympic test event, but their athletes need to be in top condition for worlds 2017 to get that 3 spots in the olympic. Asada, Ando and Takahashi never went to asian winter games, they usually send those not in the special list right? I don't know why yuzuru and/or shoma have to go. Moreover, yuzuru just recovered from a serious injury so...

This article says that Ms. Kobayashi said the skaters' intentions will also be considered. Hopefully the top finishers at Nationals will be able to choose which competition they'd like to skate at. According to another article, they're sending 2 men and 2 ladies to Asian Winter Games.
You know, the Team Japan has Takahito Mura and Daisuke Murakami who both have been quite impressive during the latest quad so I don't think there should be a huge problem in sending two different teams to 4CC and Asian Winter Games. All of Team Japan top men skaters deserve to get the chance to represent their country on these events in their best shape possible. I just want to repeat what I've said before- wise decision should be made. Not wearing out their athletes but giving them all the chance to add value where and when it's possible.
I think what they're interested in is not about winning but drawing people's attention to the competition they're holding in their country. So they probably would REALLY need Yuzuru but no other to compete. I just hope that he won't be forced to participate...
Yeah let's wait and see whose will prevails. :dev3: Seriously though.
I did some research and there has only been 5 of them and one of them (Salchow) was because it was the first time figure skating was added to the Olympics.
Dick Button is also part of that select group :yes:I am so happy to hear that Yuzu is back on the ice now. It doesn't matter if he is not jumping yet, as long as there's progress and he is still healing. I hope he doesn't push himself too hard to make up for the time he lost on rehab, we want you healthy, Yuzu!

Great great news ! All that is left is to keep waiting and hope everything goes well.
If JSF forces their national champs to compete at Asian winter games, I think we may see skaters lose national on purpose, so they can skip Asian winter games.
---------
ETA: Every skater prefers 4cc over Asian winter games. If the rule states the national champ must compete at Asian winter games, it will create a perverse incentive. Skaters will compete at national to lose, rather than compete to win.

Another tweet, "Upon hearing that Yuzu is back on the ice, all the Pooh bears cried!" (translated by Angelica @YHIFG). These Pooh bears had been praying for Yuzu recovery #1, #2.

Wooooooow! Yuuuuuuuuuzu! I'm so glad this news. Our prayers were answered. Thank God! Thank you all for information and links. Please Yuzu, do not be in a hurry and use your wisdom to heal completely. We are praying and cheering for you, but could you give us a clue about the songs you have selected, so that we stay mad trying to figure out their costumes and the layout of their programs.
I really enjoyed the "Tiny Agent 330" and thought this song for him while we can dream.

It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good"

I think there'd be fuss in any case. The only difference is if it'll be fuss based on rumors and anxiety or on facts.
Well, another way to look at it is that there will probably be pressure either from sponsor/organizer/federation for him to attend ice shows had they know he had started skating. So his team probably prefer to not give out many details on his condition. He is kind of behind in program choreography schedule anyway. Especially seeing how today we received news that he is back on ice and the next following news is that there is a possibility of him skipping 4CC for Asian winter games
