Just came across this and thought some might like to see the comparisons of Hanyu & Plushenko:

From https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20181130/p2g/00m/0sp/067000cSENDAI (Kyodo) -- A parade held this spring to celebrate two-time figure skating Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu in his native Sendai in northeastern Japan generated an estimated 1.85 billion yen ($16 million) worth of economic impact, its organizer said Friday.
The committee has around 22 million yen left after the cost of running the parade was deducted from its total revenue generated from sales of T-shirts and other goods as well as donations and sponsorship fees.
The money will be donated to a local skating federation in Miyagi in line with Hanyu's wishes and is expected to be used to train future skaters.

Bears will go to children who would not otherwise be receiving presents. Thank you Yuzuru and fans. You are loved.
Some feel-good news:

None other than he was seen probing the ice at TCC last week or so.Are there any updates on Yuzuru's injury?
No, get used to complete silence when it comes to Yuzuru Hanyu. He’s been filmed surreptitiously, though, so he’s practising on ice.any further reports on recovery?
Yuzuru is one of the nominees of the prestigious Laureus Award in the "Comeback of the Year" category, which is "awarded to the sportsperson or team who has overcome injury, illness, adversity, disappointment or failure and risen back to triumph in the sporting arena. The Award may also mark a historic fightback by an individual or a team in a sporting event or series of sports events."
Yuzuru is the first figure skater to be nominated in any categories of Laureus. Congratulations, it's very well-deserved!

Thank you Yuzu for this beautiful message.
Is there any update on Yuzuru’s health? Will he compete at the worlds in Japan? I would really like him to.
