Replay of Quad...they will definitely downgrade it.
I predict 4th place.

Grand Prix Final: Mens LP

Oh no, little bobbles here & there for Takahashi, pressure seems to have gotten to him, skating in his home country. Still he never gave up on the peformance, not really.
And I r-e-s-p-e-c-t both him & Jeremy for going for the quad!
In the end the results here are not that important, better to try the quad here in preparation for the Olympics, the big one! Others played it safe, yeah there are those that win playing it safe but I really don't respect that, sorry. I see the strategy, but this is exactly why my fav skaters are gutsy risk takers!!!!!

Erm okay. No comments.
Well, at least this costume is better than the last one (no more frou frou and sheer fabric!). Good for him!
Ahhh Dai-chan! Not a good day.
WHAT 130+?! Must have been multiple downgrades. Clearly the audience doesn't agree.
Congrats to Evan, Oda and Johnny!!
Yeah I was thinking the same... I guess his SP really cost him the bronze, since he's ahead of Weir in the free.

Last year, Johnny got bronze. Takahiko Kozuka got silver, if I remember correctly

Daisuke's jumps have never looked all that secure since his return from his injury hiatus. I don't see him improving all that much on them this season. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see him on the Olympic podium.
Judges scores for the Mens are up:

He should have won the LP anyway. Even with the fall on the Quad, it was stronger technically than Evan's performance.
And definitely stronger artistically.
Congratulation! I believe Oda just got himself qualified for the olys! I think he was tense and tentative as he was trying to relieve pressure off himself from having to qualified for the Olys on the Japanese national. (the Japanese federation deems a skater qualified if he/she earns a medal at the GPF.)
As I remember, he was believed to have earned the oly spot in 2006 but only his qualification taken away due to judging error. And it was Dai who went to the 2006 olys instead. I'm really happy for Oda for that reason.
I'm also happy for Jonny to earn the medal. Hope it does do wonder to his confidence.
