Ouch.. Dakahashi..hwell:

 

[Phoenix347]

Daisuke also not having a good skate... 2 falls and couple of shaky landing already. Poor guy.

Now Johnny, don't fall!! Okay??

 

[demarinis5]

Seems like Dai has lost his jumps, what a shame. I loved his program though.

Not a good day for the japanes men

 

[sjwh08]

Is Takahashi injured?

 

[Hsuhs]

No good. But he tried.
It's now between the last 3.

 

[Spun Silver]

Ohhhhhh dear. Not good. I hope it's just that he hasn't got his stamina back yet.

I would be so overjoyed if he won the OGM. This guy is a skating genius. It's not looking too likely though.

 

[Nadine]

There are skaters out there that would die to have even 1/10th of Daisuke's natural charm & charisma! He's extraordinary; born to perform, a natural performer. Too bad about the few mistakes here & there (i.e. falls), but WOW, what a man!!!!!!!

EDITED TO ADD: I think I read somewhere that stated he had surgery on his knee last year? If so, he just needs a little bit more time for it to completely heal & to come back 110%!

 

[oxade21]

Wipe out Takahashi from your Vancouver predictions. I doubt he will be in shape by Olympics. Too bad.

 

[Medusa]

Uh oh... I hope the Japanese guys sort themselves out till the Olympics. They somehow seem mentally fragile.

Quad was underrotated, first Triple Axel was fully done though.

 

[demarinis5]

Ohhhhhh dear. Not good. I hope it's just that he hasn't got his stamina back yet.

I would be so overjoyed if he won the OGM. This guy is a skating genius. It's not looking too likely though.

I'm wondering if he is fully recovered from his injury.

 

[Danale]

I would be so overjoyed if he won the OGM. This guy is a skating genius. It's not looking too likely though.

I would be overjoyed if he did something about the hair
Oh well, he tried. No biggie. The season is far from being over.

ETA
Once again, VERY generous score!

 

[SusieH]

The NHK announcer really needs to stop saying "now here comes the world number one step sequence." Yesterday after he finished the sentence, Takahashi fell in less than 30 seconds (and in his step sequence no less). Today the same thing happened. He jinxed him!

 

[Nadine]

And he goes into 2nd place.

 

[sjwh08]

Takahashi 2nd place. :scratch:

 

[demarinis5]

GO Johnny!!!

[Hsuhs]

I think Johnny's on the podium with that skate. Nice job! :agree:

 

[Danale]

Bravo Johnny

 

[Medusa]

3A-3T it was, I thought - well done, and fully rotated too.
