Hooray! it's funny, how we view scores. If Fernandez had a score like that, I'd be heartbroken. But for Nan Song, I'm pretty pleased.

It seems like he had a clean performance with quad and combo.

Gorshkov should have mess up a bit... maybe fell on quad and... 3+2 combo?

good score by Nan SONG!! It's also his first competition after a long time, so I'm twice happy for him :cheer2:
I'll use the ice resurfacing break to have my lunch... I'm also not so much interested in group 3 (I'm not a big fan of Hino... sorry), I'll be back for group 4 with Ponsart and Gachinski :party:

Poor Hino, he never got the hang of skating to music. :hopelessness:

I know, right? :)
I'm only curious about Hino in the next group, it seems to me that Japanese skaters have a way of surprising everybody... perhaps even more so this season (I'm thinking Daisuke Murakami, Rika Hongo; not sure to what extent Shoma Uno, since I don't follow juniors and maybe people saw it coming?)

AAAGGGH. NOOO! I LIKE Tanaka! :biggrin: I find his skating much more refined. --But he can't jump these days due to a back injury.

ops sorry :p
well... I'm glad Japan has Yuzu and Shoma... they REALLY are another level compared to them (and many other young skaters in the world :love: )

I'm afraid Tanaka and Hino got left behind. They are already surpassed not just by Uno, but also by Sota at the last championships -and Sota's only 15.

oooh if you have the chance to watch Shoma you'll understand why he's so much praised!
The Junior Gran Prix final in Barcelona is a GEM!!

I agree, Sota is another to follow. I still have seen so few by now, so I don't want to create a high expectation, but if Tanaka and Hino don't have a sudden big change in their skating, they will not have a great future with these good youngsters

Sota competed yesterday in a National Junior Highschool Championship and landed 2 3A's in his LP. So it's looking good for him right now. Fingers crossed for the future; I hope Shoma and Sota can both make it to the podium at Junior Worlds.

New Season's Best for Hino 58.92 with 1.00 deduction.
58.92 30.87 29.05 6.05 5.70 5.85 5.80 5.65 1.00

well.. not a great score anyway. What's the matter with him? I looked at his bio and all his best scores have been made in the 2013

I bought the 2014-15 Fan-Book of Figure Skaters (a Japanese Fan book with great pictures and interviews; news etc.) which always includes interviews with the top 8 guys...Apparently Hino's best friend/skating buddy went off to another country to be a Pair Skater. -So he lost the home rink competition. But who really knows?:shrug:

YES! Couldn't remember the name. Silly me.

I had the impression they were very close during junior champs!

Now it's time for Ponsart to show if he really deserves the place for Worlds!


ETA: 59.15 is a big... NO! :eek:hwell:
