2020-21 Japanese Nationals: Men's Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

Yet another one facing retirement, none too bad as for final SPs go.

Why is everybody doing a headless crossfoot.

Stephane L tribute? Maybe they're all hoping to get to Switzerland some day.

It's too neutral of a country.

 

[TontoK]

If a man is going to skate to a flamenco, he needs to hetero it up (to paraphrase @Blades of Passion)

That music demands stallion energy, and instead, it lacked any sort of personality.

 

[Znowflake]

How much longer until Hanyu comes on?

I think 3 more skaters then Hanyu

 

[anonymoose_au]

I've just realised...there's no plushie-throwing at this event. Will it be a Yuzu program without the traditional Poohvalanche?

Kagami! I love this wee kid.

 

[Lunalovesskating]

That music sure is something. I will never get over Yuma's knee bend . Such great skating skills

 

[Beckaboomer]

Yuma's speed and power continue to impress. He's going after one of those top spots, Yuzu and Shoma had better bring it!

Last year we also had no Pooh rain IIRC.

 

[Ichatdelune]

We have a new leader

 

[Skatesocs]

I actually like some bits of the choreo, but he didn't do well with it.

Kao is the best performer of the Kanto bears, to me.

 

[Blades of Passion]

Dennis Ten vibes.

 

[Znowflake]

So much spunk

That was one of the better SPs I've seen this year. Very impressive.

 

[YuBluByMe]

All that percussion calls for more personality. But he went clean. I was afraid he’ll pop his axel. This better go over 100.

There's a warm up first though.

Wow Kagiyama is fast!

(Man, I gotta work on my name recognition)

No, because second jump in combo was double

 

[Skatesocs]

Glad that didn't cross 100, honestly.

 

[IlVoloFan]

Yess, come on Yuzu come on

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hold onto your hats guys, here comes Yuzu and Shoma!

The weird Bolero is back.

I heard Yuzu's git a new costume can't see it from this distance though!
