Japanese Nationals Dec. 24 to 26

Interesting article but no one at Japanese nationals is equal to Kim Yu-Na in Vancouver! Kim's big victory there was also because of the free skate with Mao popping that triple toe and ur-ing a jump. Mao's short was not the problem. She absolutely maxed out her score there withouth doing a 3/3 like Kim did.
 
I'm going to try to teach myself Japanese this holiday season since I'm already familiar with the Kanji part. Let's see how I'll do and if I would be able to understand all these Japanese skating news "soon".

Hi Skatefiguring:
I am always impressed with your knowledge of skating, but in this respect I may be able to help you!
I am completely bilingual between Japanese/English, as a matter of fact, Japanese is my mother tongue.

Here's some video of official practice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGo04n_38qs

As a big Takahashi fan, I am little concerned that his quad is not stable. However as Honda said in this video, " Quad is a key element. but it is also very important to skate well after skaters fail on quad." Ganbere
Daisuke, Go for it!!

I will be watching it trough key hope tv. So excited already.
 
It's so great to have forum members with so many different languages. I feel we get information that no one else gets, because all of you can tell us about reports and other information right from the original sources in Japan, Russia, Finland, and the other skating countries. Genki, I hope you'll be able to report on the competition for us! I don't know about the rest of us, but I certainly will have no way of watching it before YouTube excerpts are posted.
 
Hi Olympia

I am not in Japan. I live in US. So just like you, I am heavily dependent on Youtube.
However, if you download keyhole tv, you can watch it a bit earlier than you tube. However the quality is terrible.
I will be watching guys short this morning starting from 3 am pacific time.

BTW, there are people who upload video to you-tube almost live, so you can see it very very soon too. Go to go to bed now.

Takahashi
3F+3T step out probably UR
3A fall out
3Lz

Kozuka
3Lz+3T
3A
3F
all clean with level 4 footworks

Oda
4T fall
3A
3Lz+3T
fell on the footwork

I must say Kozuka is already anointed as the national champion. The national judges have reached the conclusion that Kozuka with the home favorite PCS is the best option to counter "him" for the world gold. Takahashi is in the real danger of being left off the team even more, since his absence will help Kozuka's PCS very much. I'm also surprised with Hanyu's score. The PCS differences with Takahashi and Oda are much smaller than expected.

Thanks for the info. Happy for Kozuka, can't wait to see his SP. Dai's TES is so low. His jumps are really suffering and if it was not for his PC's
he would be much lower than 4th. Dai will have to bring it up a notch if he wants to medal. If he is injured(speculation on my part) the question is can he
bring it up a notch. I will be rooting for him. Good luck to the men in the FS.
 
Takahashi is FOURTH? And Asada is in danger of doing poorly in Ladies? I can't cope.

I knew it was going to be tense, but not this tense.
 
I agree. Imagine the current world champions not making the world team this season, in their own country. That would be just sad. I still have hopes for them though
 
Happy to see Hanyu moving on up.

btw, without Headings, I presume the list of scores were for a Short Program. Is there a list for the Ladies SP?

From what I understand, the Japanese Fed takes more than one competition in deciding the World Team. No?

I think Ladies SP take place tomorrow.:)

Thank you so much Nmura for the result. Do you know if Yuzuru jump flip with wrong age or not?

Tell me about it. I have my fingers crossed they both medal here and make the World team. Going by the way they both have been skating this season
(especially Mao) I don't think it will be Gold for Mao and Dai this year. JMO (I hope I am wrong though)

On the other hand Taka K has been putting up the big numbers with great skating (albeit he has been criticized for lack of excitement in his programs which does not seem to bother the judges) He scored 87 and change without the almighty Quad. He may be the future for Japan heading into Worlds and the next Olympics.
