Akiko-chan working with kids. Am I the only one who think that she looks infinitely more beautiful in real life? Her hairdo (and possible makeup) when she competed didn't seem to do her justice.
pshaw, she's both beautiful on and off the ice!
On another note, this is a very late post (and it might've been posted in the other threads), but here's what Akiko said about CoC collision
Through the Eyes of Suzuki Akiko: I didn’t want them to be reckless.
During the six-minute warm-up, the skaters were focused on what they were supposed to do—neither saw the collision coming.
I thought Hanyu-senshu’s team would stop him, but in the end, he decided to compete. Although it is demonstrative of his determination, these two skaters are so young and so full of talent. Since this competition is not their ultimate goal, I want them to consider their competitive careers and to not be reckless. I personally know what it’s like to have ruined your body to the point of being unable to skate. That’s why it’s so important put your health first.
He wasn’t unable to maintain the landing of his jumps in his performance. He couldn’t even push himself with his blades by the end of it. However, I caught glimpses of his new program and how the quad toe loop and triple jumps in the second half fit well with the swell of the music. He fell on his quad but he didn’t pop or underrotate them which allowed him to rack up points.
I’m sure the other skaters are shaken up when an accident like this happens so I also want to give my regards to the other skaters who kept it together to finish their performances.
