When he visits his childhood friend Yuko on "Ice Castle Hasetsu", he performed a perfect replication of the advanced skating routine that is performed by famous Russian figure skater Victor Nikiforov. Someone secretly recorded the footage of Yuri's performance and uploaded it to the Internet and it has caught Victor's attention.
