Hello white mutuals. Before you is a charcuterie board with 15 different types of cheese. If you manage to go 12 hours without touching the cheeses you can leave this room. Good luck.

Since none of y'all have posted this I’m gonna do it myself.
I live for Asian Men (especially competitors) bonding like this

Things we needed to happen at the Winter Olympics 2018 Men Figure Skating and what we GOT!
So, here is the recap! Are you all still alive?!
1. No injuries for anyone! ✓
2. Fair judging and no scandals (as far as that is possible) ✓
I put a check in here because there were no scandals in the single events men. Regarding judging, there will always be voices that claim unfairness. But I think this time it was fairly bearable :)
3. Yuzuru Hanyu fulfilling his dream despite being injured and out of training for quite a long time ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓
DEAR JESUS!!!!!! THE SKATING GOD BLESSED US ALL!!!!
Don’t cry! You deserved it! You are the KING
4. The wedding pose ritual on the podium (✓)
we got a wonderful podium, though! And I think I saw Javi tickling Yuzu :D
5. Yuzuru Hanyu having somewhere a tiny Pooh Bear with him because (stupid) rules do not allow his tissue box ✓
He did, that sneaky boy ;) Look at the box under the cake. Also, the cake…
EXTRAS WE GOT!
6. Mama Yuzu taking care of smol Shoma
7. Yuzuru being dorky and relaxed throughout the olympics
8. Lovely Yuzuvier moments that proof rivalry can stay on the ice and is gone off the ice
9. THIS:
One of my favourite moments:
Let’s see what wonderful moments the gala will bring!
(I know there was soooo much more, but I needed to stop somewhere xD)

Patrick Chan’s performances at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics
These are Chan’s final Olympic games. He has won one gold and two silver medals over his Olympic career, and will retire as one of Canada’s most prolific figure skaters.
Thank you, Patrick!

Let me just talk about Javi (er) Fernández
This beautiful man right here has just made history yoi by winning the first Olympic medal in figure skating for Spain.
But let me just talk some more because we don’t deserve this man.
Spain does not have an ice-skating tradition, and therefore it’s very difficult to train (and for figure skating figures to appear). So, yeah, basically dreamer against all odds
Picture it, a Spanish boy which wants to skate (WhAt?!), family must be like: okay, just a few years and the kid will forget.
How about NO
Damn the boy is good, but if he wants to get better he has to go somewhere else because we don't have ice ranks here.
He goes to freaking Canada and spends most of his life there, which you would imagine, is awfully hard because, hello? family and friends maybe 12h away???
In fact in an interview he said: “Es un deporte que desgasta mucho físicamente y en mi caso también el estar fuera de casa y alejado de los míos es un aspecto que con el paso de los años hay que tener en cuenta”
“(Ice-skating) is a sport which wears you away physically, and in my case, being far from home and away from my family is an aspect which -with the years- should be taken into account too”
(I love him please send him home)
Also, he’s almost 27, which as many of you know is ‘old’ for figure skating as the damage their bodies suffer is so brutal that someone in their twenties is considered old.
This is one of the reasons as to why he was so eager to win the medal, because, unlike other skaters, it may be his last chance to do so
(look at my boy, aggressively spanish)
It’s not his first time at the Olympics, in 2014 he was left at the doors of the podium (4th place) because he failed a triple Salchow, which he has said has been in his conscience ever since.
And last but not least, you know this boy angel my son right?
Double Gold medal, Yuzuru Hanyu
Well, Yuzuru and Javi train together in Canada and have become best friends (Javi calls Yuzuru his skating wife)
Javier has said the following:
“With Yuzu, we are everything, we are friends, we are teammates, at some point we have to be rivals. (…) When we are on the ice we are competing against each other but when the competition is done, we are friends again and we work together again.”
In fact, Yuzuru said this after having won:
“Without Javi I wouldn’t have gone to Canada, I wouldn’t have been able to endure the hardships of training either”
AND JUST LOOK AT THEM, THEY HAVE SUCH A HEALTHY AND BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP
