They just show Yuzuru fall in 3A. What happen to him, it used to be his best jump.

Sorry for being super nervous!

About Sasha's Malaguena, Wikipedia says Morozov co-choreo'd it with Tarasova in 02-03, but Tarasova alone in 03-04 (they removed Morozov's parts?). So you can at least strongly dislike him. : )

2002-2003ish was when Tarasova and Morozov had that big fallout because Morozov went to choreograph for Michelle Kwan. I've heard rumours that Tarasova removed Morozov's choreo credits for 2003-4 just because of that.

But can any expert give me reasons why he beat Kozuka in PCS? :unsure:
I'm no expert, but I would like to offer my opinion if you don't mind. The music was marvelous and so was choreography, but Kozuka was simply unable to deliver it. His artistic weakness was exposed rather than concealed in my opinion.

Gachinski wasn't doing much performing during his LP either. And Kozuka's SS >>> Gachinski's SS.

LOL that is true! Judges really don't think Gachinski is better than Kozuka! I doubt you can find a competition where they were both there but Kozuka didn't geet higher scores. I bet the .04 difference is all 1st in 2nd group vs last in second group OR that he was the lowest ranked Japanese skater here?

I thought PCS judged a skater's skating ability, transitions and choreography as well? I don't see how the judges allowing Artur to beat Takahiko in PCS can be justified when taking these criteria into consideration as well.


Adam not doing so good.

I feel bad for Plushenko. He's off having crazy surgeries and still going to be pressured into going out there and literally busting his *** so Russia can have more than one spot. One of these kids should have been able to deliver at least mediocrity.

I like the music that Adam uses in the middle because I consider it Oksana's music, she used it one year on COI, loved it, she was racing down the middle of the ice whilst it was playing. :cool: Unforgettable routine, ahhh, memories...

I am debating if I should watch Yuzuru skate....I am so emotionally invested into this performances, if he falls....I might have a heart-attack! LOL

LOL, well, you're going to find out how Yuzuru skates sooner or later, so you might as well make it sooner!
