I am amazed by Shizuka's performance. She improved so much in her artistry since the Olympics. She is so much more emotional and has all the subtle nuances. She now breathe in and out deeply during her performance. Very beautiful.
Adrian, you make me, us!, begin to believe in Swedish figure skating again! And Kristoffer, who have paved the way for the interest in figure skating in Sweden! World, here we come! I just hope that Adrian's back will remain well... But the boy seriously need to do something about his PCs. 3rd of the men in JO thanks to his tecnical points but the PCs was the lowest. Show emotions!, just some kind of emotions!Adrien - This kid is cool!! Did you notice the pause in the air before he began his 2A. Increible! Watch out Brian, Stephane, and Thomas.
Am I the only one who's not impressed by Shizuka's performance? The music cut was horrible, and everything was rather bland. She's skating rather 'heavily' and has lost all the fluidity & flow. Again, comparing her skating to Mao/Nakano etc, you can tell the huge difference between an 'amateur skater' who has to train 6 hrs a day and a so-called 'professiona skater' who barely trains at all.
The only thing that impressed me is her improved Bielmen. I always cringe at Shizuka's sit spin though. She has some quite ugly hunched back (the same as Xue Shen's) while getting down to the sit position.
