Those PCS are jokes but that' not anything new in this sport. Wishing every skater in the regionals good luck in the free.
It isn't new though, that the PCS is tied to the technical content, without a Quad it is hard to reach those higher scores. It might look low now as a score, but I think it isn't that bad a score. If he immediately got a score with 45 PCS, could you imagine the outrage? That said, 7 is too low for such a skate for a skater of Daisuke's calibre, but and that's really not new....Daisuke was criminally underscored in PCS all his career. Should this stop because he's coming back? In a perfect World, yes, but that it didn't, doesn't suprise me.
I really enjoyed this program and hope he can evolve it more and more, and that we perhaps will be able to see him at a big competition at the end of the season. Look at that step sequence, how his body moves, all that dance training is visible!! For now I look forward to the Free!
Amen! I totally agree with your whole post!
Complete video. Love it! Yeah 7's to low for this performance. Of course he needs
to work on his spins and improve his goe on his jumps but overall excellent debut!
