In many ways Yuzuru and Luka inspire me. It wasn’t until a few months ago that I realized how much they have in common despite their differences in age, language, and country of origin. They don’t know I exist, but this is the best way I could think to say thank you to them. I’m grateful to have been able to experience their talents both on the ice/pitch and off.
