Wow, that was intense. Nobu = mini beast. I guess being 5'5" and 120 pounds as a guy has its advantages....Originally Posted by Tinymavy15

He's 5 5? Ouch, I'm taller than that ... too bad he isn't taller, height gives you a better presence on ice in my mind, looks much more powerful.
Wow. Dai looks very nice in gray.
IMO that's just Chan talking out his **** again.
He says the same thing in this article but then he also says he plans on reaching the top. A bit of a contradiction unless he thinks he will win gold here.
""This is not what I want to be doing for the rest of my life and it's not something I want to be dependent on for paying the bills.""
Is he really dissing everyone else who's gone pro without batting an eye? The kid really needs to shut his mouth.
Yup, not even 5'5" actually I don't think. He is listed at 164 cm which is 5'4.5". That is short but a lot of the male skaters are fairly small, Dai is also 5'5", Khozaka and Chan are 5'7". For a Japanese man he's probably only a bit below average, because in Japan Mao who is 5'4" is considered tall for a girl.
So nervous to watch.

Blah, blah, blah. He can diss all he wants; I doubt many people will miss him once he walks away from the sport and this is coming from someone who used to be a pretty big fan of the guy. I've been over him for a year now though. I can't stand that much ego.
What comes, comes.
Wish him the best!
No full run-thru for @EvanLysacek, either. A fall on triple axel but rest very solid.

This is from today right? Ooooh, the 4-3-2 is back, Plushi knows what he needs to do!
Great about Weir as well!
The rest can be as solid as he wishes if he messes up the 3A!No full run-thru for @EvanLysacek, either. A fall on triple axel but rest very solid.

What is Daisuke doing on his back on the ice?? Looks like he fell over laughing? Hope so, he needs to release a little of that tension (but not too much).
And now the Kween is retired isn't she allowed to cover up in the ice and snow? Poor Kween. Frozen are the shoulders that wear a crown.
Yikes, Michelle looks like she's going to take a bite of Evan's mother!
Can someone PLEASE explain why PRACTICE videos are being taken down from youtube?
Why would anyone care about just small practice clips? It's like everything is being done to stifle the sport's possible fanbase! I feel like soon there will just be a few internet boards of weridos, and the rest will watch only what they are given every 4 years.
Can someone explain the copyright or whatever situation? Who is it hurting to have a practice clip online? Doesn't it just advertise the event to come? Any explanations will be appreciated. thanks.
Frankly I have no idea. I can understand why the programs are taken down, considering people can see them on NBC so it means hits for their site. Practices though ... mind boggling, as they are only seen by a very small minority of enthusiasts so meh. I don't think there is a logical explanation but probably a corporate one that when dissected would turn out to be nonsense.
Wait, how is this dissing anyone? Are people really suggesting that because his plans for the future don't include professional figure skating he's dissing professional figure skaters? Really? This isn't ego. This is him saying "I hope my future takes a different path." He's said many things that manifest his ego, but this isn't one of them (so put down the pitchforks).
