Yuzuru Hanyu did so amazing. And Nathan Chen had such an incredible long program. And Shoma, and Javier, and Adam, and everyone were incredible. And I’m just so happy for them all.
- Yakov
Yakov is said to be based upon Alexei Mishin. Mishin is a figure skating coach who formerly coached (the now retired) Evgeni Plushenko (who is a four-time Olympic medalist, three-time World champion, seven-time European champion, four-time GPF champion and ten-time Russian Nationals champion) - Guang Hong
When Guan Hong goes to America to train during the summer, he ends up buying Western clothes in bulk - Sara
Sara was actually originally designed with the same brown hair as Michele. However, her hair colour wast later changed to black during development. This is why in the end credits she’s shown with brown hair - Emil
Emil likes to do extreme sports during the off season. Which ends up making his coach pretty nervous… - Phichit
Phichit was scouted when he was younger at a local rink in a commercial district in Bangkok after the discovery of his talent - Seung-gil
Seung-gil’s theme for the season was ‘greed.’ He also doesn’t like vegetables, but likes meat and dogs - Georgi
Since the very first episode, Georgi had made an appearance in each one. It wasn’t until episode 6 though that he finally had a speaking part
Interesting facts!! The one about Sara’s hair explains A LOT! Lol! Also, is ‘Yuri on Ice’ because of the Olympics going on?? Or just a coincidence?

I had wondered about Sara’s hair too! Hahah yeah I was pumped about the men’s skating so I felt like doing some Yuri On Ice research! (Plus, it was kinda only acceptable anime to use as a way to rant a little about the Olympics…)
