What are you plans after Worlds?
I still have to finish graduate school. My research is in biomechanics, analyzing the efficiency of athletes’ movements. My competitive career will be put on hold to finish my degree, and I am currently unsure whether or not I will return to competition.

Best wishes for him at Worlds no matter whatwell, its hard to tell, if he can have good reasults at worlds he may think " yes i still got it" and it might motivate him or he may think " i have good result, now i can retire in peace", if he has bad results he may think " i passed my time, whats the point to continue" or he may think " i know i can do it, i cant stop here " or it might totally depend on his school so many possibilities

Why it depend on his school? I thought Takahiko has already graduated from university.

Yet another? Omg if this turns out to be his decision post worlds, that's yet another heartbreak for me.... first the Sochi veterans, then Tatsuki now Taka too?!?!?! :shocked:
ETA: And omg, from his interview I can't believe Taka is now the oldest amongst the Japanese men.... I mean, how can that be? :shocked:

Mura is still older, remember?Noooooo I jinxed it. Just after I said I want him to stay till 2018....The skating gods have not been kind to all of Team Japan and their fans this year between all the injuries, retirements, and whatnot....:hopelessness:
And if Takahiko really retires........that means Kanako will be the oldest at the young age of 20??! Followed by Yuzuru
Mura is still older, remember?
If Mao decides to continue... Then maybe she's the oldest. I hope Taka will be happy no matter what.

I mean Mura is older than Kanako and Yuzuru. And I forgot Daisuke Murakami as well. He's older than Mura about 1 month.Mura is 23, Kozuka is 25. Machida is 24.
