Amazing post! Thanks so much for putting this impressive fact-file together (with gifs! And video links! And cute pics!). Wow, Japan has an embarrassment of riches in the men's field. It's such a shame they can only take 3 guys to the Olympics. I would love to see them sweep the podium (not gonna happen, I know) in Sochi, just to see the look on Chan's face because they're all so awesome. And adorably good-looking. And endearingly dorky.

I love Hanyu's Weir-designed costumes. He has a great body, can carry off anything, and the personality to make even the nuttiest outfits look like cutting-edge fashion.

Crossing my fingers very hard for Dai to make the Japanese team for the Olympics. He's had such a run of miserable luck; I'd love to ship him with Meryl see him on the ice in Sochi.

Can't wait for your post about the women. : D
