Don’t ever expect an Australian to feel sorry for people taking a 13.5-hour flight. For an Australian, that is the first leg of a 24-hour flight to Europe, and not worth reclining the seat for.
Yuzuru just announced his withdrawal after that ankle injury from practice yesterday. So he will not be defending that champion title now, it’s most likely between Nathan and Shoma this year.
