Very first GP competition for Narumi/Ryuichi! and in front of their home crowd! :) Ryuichi says in an interview that he feels very honored to be able to get compete at NHK Trophy, which has been for him to watch on TV for many years since a kid skater himself. Best of luck to them! :party:

Does this mean we are going to see John Zimmerman in KnC, right? :love:

Once his name is announced in the arena, I am sure Mr Siudek is gonna get huge applause and love from J-audience including me, as usual! :yes:

A solid performance from the two, they seem happy. They've upgraded the lift since Nebelhorn. Pairs elements still not as strong as we'll see in the field

Woah, interesting new technical score box. How the heck are they calculating it? Just updating it as the tech controller calls it?

FINALLY proper camera work!

ISU should use this footage as a template for all other tv crews.

Whatever do you mean? I for one live for closeups on skater's faces during footwork sections. It just makes you appreciate the hard work, drama, Incredibly Bad Direction so much more... LOL!

Denney and Frazier had a great performance! I think he may have two-footed the SBS jump, but otherwise clean, and great choreography and attack!
