Yuri on ice blog

i’m just going to casually keep the livestream open until sunday ahahaha i’m so nervous i’ll miss it?? i even set the reminder ahhhhh ;; ♥♥♥

Yuuri is a wild drunk. Viktor is a wild drunk. They didn’t show us the post GPF banquet. It’s a conspiracy.

Also, extra yurio (he’s always so extra lmao):

wouldn’t he though

Here is the original NBC clip of the Suzaki Miu & Kihara Ryuichi’s Olympic performance for “Yuri on Ice” (Piano), which has been their short program this entire season. Ever since they debuted the routine in Detroit (Yes, DETROIT, where Yuuri and Phichit trained with Celestino!) back in July 2017, I’ve been wondering if they will actually make it to the 2018 Japanese Winter Olympics Team and officially bring YOI to the games. Lo and behold, not only did they make it to Pyeongchang, they even managed to score a personal best for this routine with a 57.42 during the Team Event on Friday!

After watching their performance, Kubo Mitsurou mentioned that the pair’s coach, the legendary Sato Yuka/Yuka Sato, actually suggested the track to them. BLESS YOU YUKA.

I keep seeing people linking to the wrong videos (This or this) claiming that it is the Olympics performance - it isn’t! That is actually the pair’s routine from the Four Continents Championships in Taipei back in late January. You can see the signs all over, including in the kiss & cry at the end.

One more interesting thing to note: Suzaki & Kihara will actually skate this SP one more time in Pyeongchang during the actual pairs skating competition. The scheduled date of the SP performances in this event? February 14th, VALENTINE’S DAY.
