Yuzuru Hanyu talking to the little girl holding the Japan flag at the Opening Ceremony of the World Team Trophy of Figure Skating, right before leaving the ice. (taken from this video) 

I saw this little exchange while watching the Opening Ceremony, suddenly glad I couldn’t watch it live, so that I was able to make a gif from the video I found. The girls with the flags had a very pretty dance at the start of the ceremony, and then had to hold this flags for its entirety. I can’t imagine they weren’t tired by the end of it. Most of the older skaters completely ignored them (mostly because of language issues, likely), but Yuzuru talked to the girl with his country’s flag, and I thought it was cute, with her little nod, and his smile and all.

The Head Pats (TM) and an exciting trilogy about wreaths from the Victory Ceremony of the WTT figure skating event 

1. Team Captain Kana Muramoto shows her pride in the two young ladies on her team before the victory ceremony 

2. The team Captain seems surprised by the wreaths the victorious team received 

3-8. Mai Mihara’s wreath falls off as her medal is awarded 

9. Yuzuru Hanyu reaches out to save Shoma Uno’s wreath in case it also falls off 

(Personally, I think the wreaths are a cool touch, though. Not many events do that anymore.)
