Yuri gets back into shape and Victor finds new ways to motivate him because in some ways it’s a lot harder for Yuri now. Victor sees the video, and something in Yuri, which causes him to drop his own skating career and fly to Japan so he can become Yuri’s coach.įrom there, the story takes a fairly predictable course. Sometimes despite having talent and years of hard work behind them, an athlete fails in that one moment and then the medal is gone.įortunately for Yuri, a friend’s kid records and uploads a video to social media of him performing the exact routine of the man who did win the Grand Prix, Victor Nikiforov, who is also the reigning world champion. What happened to Yuri in the finals is not unheard of or even that uncommon to anyone who’s watched the sport for a while. Our Yuri nearly does, but despite his failure, he’s actually a very good skater, and he would have to be to make the Grand Prix finals, which only accepts the top 6 at the end of a series of skating tournaments. Plisetsky doesn’t feels there’s room for two Yuris, so wouldn’t it be better if Katsuki just retired? It doesn’t help that he’s confronted in the bathroom after the competition by up-and-coming skater Yuri Plisetsky, who is going to make his debut at the senior level next season.
Yuri Katsuki is twenty-three years old when he flames out at the Grand Prix finals, signaling what he suspects will be the ignominious end to his figure skating career. Yuri on Ice is gorgeous just taken as a figure skating anime, but it’s also a lot more than that, being one of the most progressive anime series to feature a gay relationship without overly fetishizing it. No other sport occupied my childhood nearly so much, so when Yuri on Ice was announced, it was a given that I would watch it. Figure skating has always been my favorite event at the Winter Olympics, having grown up watching it with my parents, and then continuing on my own as an adult.
