the Ice Adolescence trailer says Victor is seventeen in this Olympics, which re both the year and his age, the easiest math by far is this is the 2006 Olympics
shown in Paris, not Torino, when YOI's Lambiel cameo mentioned his silver medal in the Torino Olympics
(which has me mentally bumping Lambiel's silver medal in RL 2006 Torino and fourth place in 2010 Vancouver to Lambiel's silver medal in YOI 2010 Torino, justified by how at least two of the RL 2010 medalists almost definitely don't exist in YOI, like, surely if either Plushenko or Takahashi had anything even vaguely resembling their RL careers then we'd see them in YOI if only in the negative space that shaped Victor's and Yuuri's careers, and the other choice is Lambiel got silver at YOI 2002 Torino, when in RL 2002 Salt Lake City he got fifteenth; Victor must have won gold at at least one of those two Olympics, given we saw his one gold medal has a suspicious resemblance to the RL 2006 Torino ones, but if he only won gold at one of the two, I don't think we can confidently state which is which: 2010 Torino seems more likely to me than 2006 Paris for "the 2006 Torino medal designers were Italian and the very fact the design is recognizable in YOI says it's the same design" reasons, but also 2014 is well into Victor's win all the things streak and 2010 is not, so I cannot imagine he took anything but gold in 2014—or that he'd make such a point of wearing his 2014 Olympics jacket if he'd done anything but take gold—and yet I cannot recall any mention of Victor having consecutive Olympic golds, so if he has only two then 2010 sounds like the one he's missing)
