Not his best, but I love his flow across the ice. He'll have a chance to move up, perhaps...
2t/4t-2t(shaky landing)/3A(hand down)/3A-2t-2lo(also shaky)/2flip/3loop/3sal/3lz-3t. Very poor first half, but managed to survive the latter half. I love this free program, wish he could keep it, refine for the next season.
Sad for Takahiko. He's my personal favorite. Really love his skating, but it's just not his Worlds. He redeemed the second half though. Beautiful second footwork sequence as always.
