I would also like to ask for this! Thanks!!

Murakami has a dislocated shoulder. He tweeted/instagrammed his xray

Ouch, that looks terrible. Crazy how he was able to do a triple jump before leaving the ice with his shoulder like that

Thanks for the clarification, luckykid. I'm guessing the drawing is done in ranked groups or something more conventional like that.

This is going to be exciting! Didn't realize it was this weekend :O

During tonight's sport news on TV, Shizuka who attended the official practice says that Nobunari was in the best condition among the top six boys.
And I would agree, 'cause in that short news video clip, Nobu landed gorgeous 4T-3T like nothing! Yuzu also landed 4T and 4S effortlessly, with his usual great flow on its landings. Dai hit 4T and 4T-2T, too, but both with a bit shaky landings.

Thanks let's talk for all the links!

Hmm...interesting, I do think Oda will be the underdog. So many people/everyone has dismissed him and I think he's definitely used this to his advantage by being motivated all the more to prove us wrong. But might not be enough. Although I do wish for another 3bros world team, Yuzu ain't gonna let that happen.

This is so absolutely nerve wrecking. Even though Daisuke is my favourite, I want them all to do well. I almost can't stand the tension. I'm so excited and at the same time scared. The pressure is high for this and I feel bad for those who will miss out already.

[Mrs. P]

So the SP is at 4:50 Japan time Friday, which would be 11:50 p.m. Pacific time. Which means by the time I wake up tomorrow, the SP would have happened! Crazy. Can't wait to see everything unfold.

It will be 1:50 AM in my time zone, so I am trying to decide whether or not to stay up all night following the live results Probably not a good idea, but maybe for the free skate

I am so nervous, as everyone else already said! There is a lot of pressure at this competition for them! Good luck to all, but to Daisuke especially.

Not going to. :P With 28 (27 with Murakami's WD?) men skating, that's going to take 4 hours to watch. Can't stay up that late!
