According to this tumblr, the lutz was off-axis again so he ripponed the 2T

 

[HanDomi]

what's going on with his lutz.... :scratch: This weeks without coach din't helped...

(I think Yuzu was better than Shoma at 17)

Now I just want a clean performance of Machida and this competition is perfect

quick thinking on the feet

 

[alebi]

Hey, he didn't fall, that's an improvement

94.35 with a TES of 48.76 He must have missed something else besides the -3Toe, I guess.

I guess it's a spin :think:

 

[FTnoona]

This can be exciting. Hanyu left room for Machida to take the lead.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

I guess it's a spin :think:

Pretty likely. Unusual for him, but not a big deal. As long as his TES is higher than his PCS I'm happy

Yuzu was/is an incomparable talent! Best junior nowadays are comparable to 14 years old Yuzu, not 17 or 18

 

[Crossover]

This can be exciting. Hanyu left room for Machida to take the lead.

Go Machida!

I haven't seen obvious "national inflation" at Japanese Nationals, at least last few years.
In fact, some people complain, judge should introduce it to boost Japanese skaters reputation.

 

[FSGMT]

What do you mean? I assume skaters do them because they can't do a solo quad out of steps, and they can't really do a 4-3 either.

You're right, of course, but it always looks like a waste of points hwell: If a skater is able to land a quad so consistently that he wants to put it in the SP, he should be able to add a 3T to it, otherwise he automatically loses 2.8 BV points

Lots of girls can do triples, but not triple-triples :confused2:

Hahaha, that's an interesting perspective. With any competition, I get extremely nervous no matter what's happening. I don't even know why, anyway, I'm happy that the scores aren't as inflated as we thought they'd be. It's good that the scores are reasonable and not overly-high this time.

unlike Russian Nationals.

 

[alebi]

mmmh... I want a TOP10 with all 65+ points... please... go Tanaka, Hino, Kozuka and Machida!

 

[Alba]

Japan decided to break from other inflations at nationals and is making strict judging ? lol

Yuzuru got 4 points less than Kovtun?


I woke up twice today for this event and no streamings? :scowl:

 

[HanDomi]

it doesn't look too good now for Takahito for Worlds team, but still FP ahead of us so anything can happen, but Shoma is in good position to take one of two spots :scratch:

 

[foruiz]

Wow... Kovtun wins! LOL!

 

[alebi]

well... Kovtun did two quads while Yuzu only one and a 3+2 combo.... *trying to be honest*
