Takahiko!

 

[evangeline]

A great perfromance by Michal Brezina--I liked the jumps, the insouciant little flourishes, the pink sweater vest

 

[Medusa]

Look how this guy is landing... It's amazing. I just hope that the height on his jumps won't hurt his knees too much.

 

[Nadine]

And he easily goes into 1st place, well deserved!!!!!!!!1:thumbsup:

 

[demarinis5]

Oh boy Taka is having some trouble....

 

[Danale]

What's going on with the men today? Is BrezIna going to be the only one with a clean skate?

 

[Phoenix347]

Kozuka not having a good skate....

 

[Medusa]

What is it with Taka in Japan? This is reminiscent of his really crappy World Team Trophy performance.

I know. Splat fest in the pairs now the men. Taka was so consistent last season I wonder whats up with him.

 

[evangeline]

Not the best performance by Kozuka, but the little face scrunch he had at the end was so adorable

 

[Nadine]

My heart is breaking for Takahiko, so unfortunate those falls in front of his home country, which does not take away from the fact that he is an extraordinarily beautiful elegant unique skater. This competition just wasn't his today, better luck next time.

 

[Medusa]

3F (no combo?)

The man was thinking on his feet, it would have been his 4th combo.

Brezina got 78 TES with only 6 Triples. He probably gets +1, +2 GOE on every jump because of the height.

 

[Hsuhs]

D.a.i.s.u.k.e. Please?

 

[Spun Silver]

Groan.... I feel so bad for him. He's such a lovely skater but something went wrong. Don't think it was jet lag for him, though.

The program is sweet! esp. the ending.

 

[Nadine]

And he goes into 3rd place.

 

[Spun Silver]

Go, great Daisuke!

 

[Danale]

I know. Splat fest in the pairs now the men. Taka was so consistent last season I wonder whats up with him.

The rate this is going - can you imagine the ladies?? Blah.

 

[iriseyes]

Aw, poor Taka-chan! I've never seen him look so tired after a program, either. I hope he's okay!

Daisuke, lookin' good!
