Nooooo, Mura gave it his all but it probably won't be enough, so sad for himOf course, Keiji deserves his spot as well. Why are there only 3 spots? :sad21:
They are lucky they have 3 spots! Look at the Ladies. I loved Mura, but I think Keiji has more potential. It would be a goodbye gift to a well deserved career, but it makes more sense to send Keiji. Mura underperformed on the GP circuit.

I'm starting to get worried about Shoma, I've got to admit, I would hope by this point in the season he could be cleaner than he was here. That said, there were bright spots (+3 Axel woo!) so I won't give up hope for a clean skate yet.
I have yet to go back and watch Mura although I woke up just in time to see him being teary eyed in the KnC so I willd definitely see that one. Keiji Tanaka really surprised me -- I found him kinda dull last year but he has two decent programs this year! Good for him!

This one shows the Japanese Nats.Under the JapanTV, choose Fuji TV. They're replaying Sakamoto's performances and a headline "New heroine Sakamoto, what's her charm?"
Does this mean Mr Sunday knew Kaori would be chosen instead of Wakaba!
I know, that's why it's so sad :sad21: But I do agree that based on the performances this season, Keiji is a much safer bet. Doesn't keep me from wishing that both of them could go though
The Ladies are a different kind of heartbreak altogether, let's not get into that

News shows sometimes just cover newcomers, especially if they're pretty and with an interesting personality (Kaori-chan is from Kansai, has a tendency to speak frankly) - chances are that's why they were following her around

The chinese guy was the only stream that worked for me all weekend.
Alifyre, don't worry. Shoma didn't do well in Nationals in the years before as well. He's exhausted and now finally has the time to focus on the Olympics. I'm not worried.

Speaking of the ladies, I have a question.
I only watched Tanaka and Shoma, but it seemed like the men were going higher in the GOEs for their elements than the women when they didn't fall or step out? I'm not sure if this was an overall trend, but it looked to me like the men didn't really have better like, transitions or anything on their elements, so I'm not sure why I did see some GOE over 2 for them when I don't recall any lady getting a +2 on any jump in real time. Am I crazy, and if not what is going on?

I hope you're right. Last season he was falling apart just weeks before Worlds at that random event in Belgium, was it? Then won a silver in Helsinki. He's my dark guilty pleasure secret pick to win the Olympics. Him or Javi.

It was Luxemburg and no, he didn't fall apart. He was pretty good there.
They then went on to speculate who is going to be chosen, Wakaba or Kaori. Healine is: Accomplished Higuchi or energetic Sakamoto? Kaori is becomming the new media sensation
They are throwing oil into the already hot fire!
