Synopsis – YURI!! on ICE:

After a crushing defeat in the Grand Prix Final, Yuuri Katsuki, once Japan's most promising skater, is returning home to reflect on his future. At 23 years old, Yuuri's opportunities for success in figure skating seem to be closing quickly, and her love for breaded schnitzel as well as her ease of gaining weight do not help her situation.

However, a turnaround occurred when a video of Yuuri performing a program by five-time world champion Victor Nikiforov went viral. To her surprise, Victor shows up at Yuuri's door and offers to become her coach. As one of her biggest fans, Yuuri enthusiastically agreed, marking the beginning of her journey to return to the international stage.

But the road to success is fraught with pitfalls, especially with the arrival of young Russian rising star, Yuri Plisetsky, who is determined to beat Yuuri and win back Victor's attention and teaching.
