Kazuki is one of the best pure performers on this circuit right now, but the jumps have always been inconsistent for him and that hip injury can't be helping. He has so much talent, so I really hope he can heal up and finally have a strong season.
 
sure but Cavaradossi has his own aria.... so technically, the skaters could use that music... when male skaters do sheherazade, they always pick the same bits... and they are the sensual and story telling sounding parts associated with her not with the slave nor the sultan :)
the music skaters use is mostly from the pas de deux, so the slave also has is own music
 
... What the hell did you think you were going to get Ichat this is early season Kazuki

Recovered somewhat in the second half

And this is why he is my favorite Japanese man, he is this much of a showman and I am a total sucker for it... Kazuki just... manage to get assigned to 4CC please I need to see your SP live
 
The only explanation I can think of for Torgashev’s marks is that the judges want to see more reliable, consistent skating from him. Forever he has been known as a train wreck competitor and it will take some time and a history of strong performances from him to erase that perception. Unfortunately, that’s how judging works in this sport. It also really hurts him that he has a lower technical base value compared to the other men in this event.
 
Well Kazuki recovered well in the 2nd half
The last 3A was :love:
And he never gives up on a performance

Kazuki that shirt is bad luck...and not flattering on you
Get a new one
 
I have not been paying attention to ISU happenings: did they consciously bring down PCS? I'm pleasantly surprised to see them lower here.
