Summary
Unfortunately for the r/Figureskating community, the recent men’s single figure skate competition was bound to flood the forum after Yuuri’s breakdown on the podium.
It was obvious by Viktor’s distress and Yuuri’s uncharacteristic calm that they both thought Yuuri would place lower, despite his more than perfect performance.
Yuuri’s final score for his free skate was announced at 219.78, only 1.33 above Viktor’s score of 218.45.
Because it’s the 21st century, the next events were recorded from almost every angle, with some shitty quality but some very, very high quality. Yuuri says something in Japanese, not realizing it got picked up by the mic held by ISU representatives (translated by my good friend u/plaguedd8, to: “I can’t breathe.”
Pandemonium in the audience ensues when Viktor picks Yuuri up bridal style, and carries him across the ice, into the depths of the arena where skaters warm up.
Or,
Yuuri wins the gold medal at Worlds, has a breakdown because he beat Viktor, and the aftermath.
