But he's a skater, there's no meat on him! It's like eating a gymnast!

That's second Olympic gold medal win to us mere mortals! 
Sounds like Yuzuru had fun playing in the world of TG! He works himself so bloody relentlessly that I'm so glad he is able to have enough time to enjoy something not tied to his training and performances. It may have even helped him as he's gone through the ongoing and difficult rehab on his right knee and ankle. His friend, OSM Evgenia Medvedeva is also an otaku who adores Sailor Moon and Yuri on Ice, and Yuzuru's kouhai, OSM Shoma Uno, is very much into gaming and has at least a couple items of YOI merch, including a fuzzy Makkachin key ring on his equipment pack. A number of other elite skaters enjoy YOI, including Eric Radford (a Canadian pairs skater with partner Meagan Duhamel), the first openly gay man to win gold at the Winter Olympics, so it's likely some of them are into other anime and/or manga. So a figure skating competition can also be a meetup of otaku.

Do you have a link for this? I've seen many skaters tweet about enjoying YOI, but I hadn't heard about Eric, I'd love to see it myself |

I saw him tag a recent picture of himself, Yuzu, and Misha at the Olympic gala practices as Yuri on Ice, but maybe there's something else? Actually if that's true it makes almost all the big openly gay skaters prominent in the field right now YOI fans. Adam Rippon is a fan to the point he bought a Victuuri shirt and has said 'if YOI isn't gay neither am I', there's Johnny Weir of course, and now Eric. As for Shoma, in addition to the Makkachin keychain he's also been pictured with a large Makkachin plus. Shoma is really into anime/manga so it's not surprising he watched YOI. Regarding the initial article, it's very silly but I'm glad to see Yuzu having fun like this. He skated through the entire Olympics, only able to really even function due to painkillers. |

It's one definite and one potential reference in a series of tweets Eric posted with photos and a video of him, Yuzuru Hanyu, and Misha Ge glaming it up for the camera at a rehearsal for the exhibition gala. This first tweet in the set is tagged yurionice: https://twitter.com/Rad85E/status/967290392436654080 This tweet went viral and about a day ago FUNI offered Eric a limited edition copy of YOI, which he gratefully accepted (currently it's the first comment on the Tweet). With luck he may post a photo once it arrives. Eric also posted an LQ video of the fun and finally another still of him and Yuzuru entitled, "Victor's Secret Models". That certainly is a reference to Victoria's Secret, but considering the first tweet, it might also be a sly YOI reference. So far, however, he has not replied to the burning question of whether he will be collaborating with Mr. Nikiforov in fashion photoshoots after his retirement.

It sounds like the most awkward interview ever, but still lots of fun.

Everyone else: *talking about a series Hanae isn't even in*
Me: I wonder if Yuzu likes StarMyu or SolidS... Yuzu and Rikka together would be way too much beauty for the world to handle. |

Quickly going to add that Joe Johnson also enthusiastically accepted a copy of the BDs from the same FUNI PR guy, and he also sent Adam Rippon a tweet that he mailed a copy for every member of the US FS Olympic team care of USFSA. Adam hasn't replied but you can imagine he is suddenly a very very busy man. On Instagram he let it be known he is in Hollywood so hopefully Adam now has a team to handle his social media which has blown up so much since the early part of the skating season. |
