a good article in my opinion, sups up what i was thinking when watching(especially the quad that he now hits in the miidle of arena without the long preparation) a breakdown with all the goods and bads of his new programs and where he stands, actually I like a lot these kind of critisism instead of he flails and jumps kind of comments that lead nowhere and I learn nothing. And while i prefer not to see him at euros i was thinking that it would be good to see where his pcs are internationally and make the appropriate corrections slowly now he has plenty of time.
what snowboating means? I guess it must not be good but i found it funny!
The entrances to his jumps are getting shorter – you can see it, in particular, in the second triple axel in his free skate, where he takes it on the long side of the rink with much less preparation than he used to. The preparation for the quad toe is also shorter. And he’s got a more seamless integration of his jumps than he used to have.
His step sequences are also much improved – not just a matter of showboating as they used to be, but good musically-driven steps and a few innovative moves mixed in. And while he’s never going to win a spinning competition, he’s learning new tricks – I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do a flying sit before. And again, the point is that he recognizes that he needs to make improvements to be at the top again, and I appreciate that he is making the effort.
