Living... Saint Petersburg, Russia. As the world"s best male figure skater, Viktor currently lives in a swanky flat with his beloved poodle, Makkachin.
Visiting... Hasetsu, Japan! After seeing a viral video clip of Japanese skater Yuri Katsuki performing one of his old routines, Viktor flies straight from Russia to nhật bản to coach Yuri. Yuri, who expects none of this, is—along with the rest of the world—suitably shocked.
Profession… professional ice skater, though currently on hiatus. When Viktor Nikiforov announces he"s taking the year off khổng lồ coach the skater who placed last in the previous Grand Prix Final, the skating world explodes with gossip and outrage. They shouldn"t be surprised, though; Viktor"s always lived by the philosophy that, "you have to do the opposite of what people expect. How else will you surprise them?"
Interests… currently developing them! Now that he"s taking a break, Viktor"s decided to focus on "life" & "love," since his career means he"s "been neglecting both for over twenty years." In addition to posting more pictures of Makkachin on Instagram, Viktor"s been enjoying Japan"s temples, hot springs, and delicious katsudon.
Relationship Status… complicated. There"s no doubt Viktor Nikiforov is ice skating"s most eligible bachelor—that"s basically been true for the last ten years. What the world wants to know, however, is what has Viktor acting so lovelorn, và whether this has to bởi vì with a certain ice skater from Japan...
Challenge… coaxing Yuri. He might be a genius at choreographing và performing programs, but Viktor has less experience on the other side of the rink.

Overall though, his methods seem to be working—working with the theme of "love," Yuri"s been having his best season yet.
Personality… less cool than he seems. In public, Viktor is all rock star charm, a skating genius who can dazzle women and men alike with a single glance. Outside of the public eye though, Viktor"s a cheerful goof who talks lớn his dog & who doesn"t seem to either understand—or care about—conventional social norms. Such as the appropriateness of appearing naked before your student. Multiple times.
While Yuri!!! on Ice the Movie: Ice Adolescence is still trapped in production hell in MAPPA’s dungeons with no news about its release, the Yuri!!! On Ice fandom is alive & well—more alive than ever, actually, & celebrating its 6th anniversary with newly released images. The first features our beloved Yuuri Katsuki representing japan in the Winter Olympics, big smile on his face and ring shining on his finger, while the second has Victor & Yuuri waiting together at the kiss and cry after a competition—Victor’s hand also sporting a ring, which was added later by MAPPA after fans noticed it missing when the image was first published.
Looking at these images và considering when they were released, you might guess that Yuuri actually did go on with his skating career và ended up representing nhật bản at the 2022 Winter Olympics, which—a) yes, Yuuri my beloved, go win that gold medal so it can match your gold ring, & also b) would be impressive considering his age.
That’s because Yuuri is 23 when Yuri!!! On Ice starts & actually turns 24 towards the end of the anime—so, assuming that YOI starts in 2016, the same year as its release, it would mean that Yuuri is 29 as he takes the ice in this year’s Winter Olympics. Và of course, 29 is not “old” in general (what even is “old,” really?), but it is a borderline age for a professional figure skater to still compete at high levels—the impact this sport has on the toàn thân is brutal, và keeping up with it doesn’t get any easier.
Looking over the official ISU records for the Men’s miễn phí Skating at Beijing and looking at the ages of the twenty-four finalists, Yuuri would have been the second-oldest at the competition—landing between Keegan Messing of Canada, who’s 30, và Japan’s own Yuzuru Hanyu (the real-life inspiration behind Yuuri), who’s turning 28 this year.

And what about Victor Nikiforov, overall icon and figure-skating legend? We actually know Victor’s full date of birth: December 25, 1989. So, Victor’s 27 years old when Yuri!!! on Ice Starts, and he decides to lớn pack up his things & go to japan to give Yuuri the scare of his life by surprising him in his parents’ onsen. This means that he’s 33 now (and maybe retired for good from high-level competition?) & that he would probably be in his late teens in the movie—if it ever gets released.
