That's very disappointing for Japan. During last two seasons they always had people on the podium and won twice (Murakami, Hanyu). Now they lost a spot in both men and women for the next year JWC.
China is becoming a figure skating powerhouse
could overtake Japan soon in some of their disciplines
Can someone do the spots for next year and spots for JGP thing by country? :D
Pretty please!!!
That's actually quite fascinating!Originally Posted by Mao88
I think that comment is really overhasty.
"Japan's disciplines" are ladies and men, and why should they lose out in those to china "soon"? Zijun Li ended up behind Miyahara, who's even 2 years younger (although I love both of them). And as talented as Han Yan is, beating Takahashi and Kozuka and Hanyu(!) is not that likely happening just next season.
Japan might have had a disappointing junior year, but that doesn't even need to mean much... I'd bet next year especially for the men Japan will still have the strongest team overall.
But that aside, happy for all the medalists
It'll be interesting to see how some of them will do in seniors next year
Japan`development is unbalanced,They have only single skating,But Russia,America and China are better,That's very disappointing!I think that comment is really overhasty.

Thing is, that this is nothing new. Japan was kind of dominant in singles and just there, and by now they still are. Russia will be changing that for the ladies, but I don't see China "overtaking" Japan there.
Japan is even having a promising pair this time.
And what is America doing there, except for Ice Dance?
What about their men and ladies??Their ladies were always contenders unlike Russia
