Second jump in the combo looks quite low. His jumps today are okay but not outstanding. He's still a bit tired I think. His SP at SA is still better.

Scroll down here, protocols in Japanese for Hanyu, Machida and Shoma.
Both Yuzuru and Machida lost in steps according to a poster in other thread.
I think Japan is extra hard on protocols, I noticed since last worlds, probably to avoid favoritism comments. I think a clean-ish program like that from Hanyu would have got 95-96 in GPF, and same with Machida, at least 2 points more.

I was really blown away by Machida's skate, but I noticed and thought that as well. especially the way that he came out of those first few jumps.
Looking at the top skaters here, and their amazing skates today, I can't help but think that this is the best skating competition of the year so far.

No official protocol yet, but someone copied the top 6 skaters' data from Fuji TV.

Yeah. Tatsuki skated very well but it's true that his jumps are not outstanding today.
Yuzuru is exhausted as well. It seems too many competition in a row make all the Japanese men tired. Poor them.
I mean, seriously, junior guys have longer time to rest before the JGPF, so I am not suprised they might have been in better health condition. But Japanese senior men have to endure too much. Not to mention the pressure!! :disapp:

It may have been low but his TES was very close together to Yuzuru's and Shoma's. He lost points in PCS.

Tatsuki's ice coverage is not really exceptional as well. even with Japanese TV's good angle I can see that he didn't skate full rink. After watching fancams from GPF I can get a better glimpse of how it affects the PCS.
I think the senior men are all exhausted from the GP series. It's a miracle they are able to perform this well in this time of the year. They all look very tired.

Why did Shoma lose GOE on his 3A? It even had a difficult entry
I thought his position in the air was not that good but the judges were strict it seems.

He couldn't have lost 3.6 points due to ice coverage but I'm no technical specialist so I'll leave it at that. I'm just pleased he ended the competition with a strong performance.

I think landing may have been slightly two footed from what I saw on video

I think the judges want to but the tech panel don't. Remember the Japanese judge who always ding Mao's jumps?Yuzuru got level 3 on everything....and Machida even got one level 2 on spinI guess judges didn't want to give skaters some Christmas presents

So much for expecting crazy inflation for the Nationals. Japan, good for you. Except why would both Hanyu and Machida lose levels on the step sequences. They looked great to me...?
