So in your honest opinion, what is Javi and Yuzu’s relationship? Friendship but friends and secret lovers?
As much as I enjoy the idea of Javi and Yuzu being best friends/soul mates/lovers, I honestly don’t believe they are more than friends. And even their friendship is not the traditional sense in that they spend a lot of off-ice time together. But I do sincerely believe they are a special existence to the other, their rivalry and rink mates relationship is something wholly unique to their situation and them. As we’ve seen before, it is very difficult for athletes of their caliber to amicably spend so many years training together without resentment and it speaks extremely well of both of their characters that they are able to fondly look back on those years and be appreciative of how much the other has pushed them to perform their best. Pyeongchang truly was a dream competition for them, and the perfect conclusion of their journeys. I like to imagine that they still keep in touch even though they no longer train together but even if they don’t, that does not devalue the relationship they have had.
