Some irritation with quads and triples in the commentary

 

[Ophelia]

Why is his practice so short and why didn't he do a full run through? Shouldn't skaters be ramping up their practice?

 

[yude]

I watched the practice, and he was amazing. Marked the jumps but those outside of the RT were great.

The fall was irrelevant, it was a no speed thing, disregard it. He's in a great mood and knock on wood for it all!

Do you think the practice rink is a bit smaller than the main rink? It looks like that to me on TV screen.

According to the reports, Shoma also left the rink earlier today, I think it depends on each skater's plan and condition.

The draw is later today right? Wishing him luck on it as well

 

[yude]

He didn't stop for the press in the mix zone today but said "thank you" three times to them when he walked through.

Yes it is!


As to why he didn't do more jumps , this is the practice rink. Different ice to the main rink too. This was just the perfect number of jumps. Plus honestly, his condition looks top notch. Now it's just maintaining. We'll see more at the main rink practice, I am sure of it.

Oh, Shoma was there? He didnt show up for Mon & Tue practice so I thought Shoma is training at some other rink JSF arranged

It's afternoon tea at the Asian side of the world but still nice on a hot day, hehe

Shoma has to be there because there is the draw today, it starts in about 30 minutes.

I'm in the middle of a blizzard on the Japan Side of the world.

Ok, correction. On the tropical side of Asia. The side that dont get snow, no 4 seasons.

So, not surprising figure skating is not known here till one young man decided to try and qualify for Winter OG. He is there now in Pyeong Chang. He is the original reason I started to get interested in FS.
And Shen/Zhao's gold in 2010. Of course Yuzu 2014 record breaking performance added to the list.

But I digress.
Yuzu looks happier than before his injury. like he is happy just to be able to make it to skate on Olympic ice, everything else small issue.

I guess it's what about he said. He needs to peak himself in the right moment, so he keeps building up momentum to short program

 

[yude]

Yuzuru is the first in the last group!!

 

[yude]

NTV is showing the draw live...and ended

 

[Marin]

Yuzuru is the first in the last group!!

I think its wonderful draw, if he skates clean pressure is on others.

 

[HanDomi]

that's really good draw for sp, he will have fresh feeling from warm up
