The grace...the style...the ease... 😍
The two-time Olympic gold medallist, @YUZURUofficial_ was back on the ice for his first professional show -- Prologue -- in Japan last night.

「In addition, after the fs at the Beijing OG, I left the ice rink with my hands clenched close to my face cus, this is the end of the Olympics and I won't skate on this ice again, so it's 'thank you for the Olympics' and the lonely feeling of saying goodbye to the Olympics. 」
Yuzu's explanation of his 4A in photos
1. His free leg takes off at this pt
2. Meaning his takeoff foot only pre-rotates to this angle
3. Technically you can pre-rotate until 90 degrees on the Axel
4. But the feeling of taking off from #4 vs #2 is totally different
I received a very special #YuzuruHanyu story from an anonymous sender today and would like to share this, with their permission. I hope Yuzu will realise that his skating and passion is tied in countless ways, big and small, to so many people's lives ;; 💙
