It's also worth mentioning that Kubo gifted her a drawing of her with Victor holding a support banner for Yuuri. She even has it as her twitter banner picture

And I don't remember if it's been brought up that she's cosplayed as Yuuri?

This is the fan who threw her the present: https://twitter.com/jiapan/status/807131840679211008

You can also see them throwing it onto the ice in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmmI1nfjevs

For the free skate, Medvedeva can be seen wearing a gold ring on each of her hands... Perhaps due to episode 10??

FYI, Johnny Weir's been getting really into YOI as well.

Seems like a very progressive show. It's not really my taste, but I'm glad something like this is out there.

I only saw Winnie the Pooh plushies thrown during the mens' free skate at the Grand Prix Final last weekend. The gold medalist, Japanese skater Yuzuru Hanyu, seemed quite happy with his Pooh during his post-game interview at http://olympics.nbcsports.com/2016/12/10/yuzuru-hanyu-nathan-chen-grand-prix-final/.

An appropriate reaction.


It's really nice to see fellow YoI fans interacting indirectly through a thoughtful present. It's really cute. Also real figure skaters like Janny and Johnny Weir actively showing their love on anime show. That's really adorkable.

It's funny because Johnny Weir had first said he'd only watch an episode a day and three days later he tweeted he'd broken his own rule and got all caught up with the series. It's really great to see so many actual figure skaters enjoying the show, definitely gives it a whole new dimension

Awww
It's so cute that Evgenia personally picked it up herself, the fan must be squealing right now. I would gift her a Victor inspired plushy poodle if I was there
