deedee1-- You can watch Mura! It will be worth it.
No Dai, I will cry:no:I hear what you are saying and do find my self both excited by the men's quad in the short program and worried! I would really, really hate to imagine worlds this year without Dai.
Amodio too... And with no jump + one spin missing he still manage not to finish last. 13.85 pt for two falls... Thanks wonderful COP.
Under 6.0 this would never happen. Let's not talk about Amodio 7 in performance/execution for his worst skate ever. Or 7.4 for empty choreo.
Ironically, there is a chance that Daisuke Takahashi may not even make the Japanese world team this year. If that happens, I think many people would be very upset.
Well it really depends on how they all did. Assuming both Dai and Hanyu get into GPF, there is four Japanese skaters including Kazuka and Michida. Of these four, who ever finish the highest will earn a berth to world. Juding from how Dai skated at COC, he needs to up his jumps to be able to match others. Assuming both Hanyu and Kazuko finish a head of Dai, one of them will earn a berth.
But yeah im worry too. But the federation will make sure he is in the team even if he finished out of podium because he qualify for final and based on last season result. They know having Dai is a big fat rating for the TV.
Don't worry, darling, you won't need to. Worlds, even in Canada, without the major male skater would be indeed some blah. Some people simply want an easy victory to their home guy in his country, that's why they wish the worst to one of his main rivals. Not that's I am surprised much with their pettiness, not to say that they dragged Dai to bash him in the competition thread where he is not competing. The stupidest thinig was to say that Dai won't make Team Japan. Gross ignorance of some sofa specialist who has zero idea what the brands "Mao" and "Dai" mean in Japan and for television. Pehaps he/she thinks they mean as "much" as his/her Idol in his homeland. Or that desperate attempt of another poster who kept typing in each post more than once that Dai doesn't have good competitive progs, as if it will come true of he/she types it a lot. The funniest part is that he/she did it in comparison to Abbott, whose SP is some clownish baby hollywood tough guy and his FS is basically pretty much the same stuff as his last season's FS. Dai doesn't have a quadless SP and will challenge a quad in his both progs, twice in LP, as he said more than once. Therefore all this rant about a quadless SP from Dai is one more pathetic move of his haters. He wasn't good in CoC in general, where he changed the boots right before the event. So his team assured the media that they will do their best to deal with this issue by NHK.No Dai, I will cry:no:

"Ice is slippery" by Irina Slutskaya
There is no truer quote than that. It reminds me of Dai's 3 falls win at the most recent Japanese Nationals. Yeah, falling 3 times and still won. But would it happen again? Don't bet on it.
Just realized, with gold here for Jeremy he has a good shot to qualify for the final.
If Evan comes back, Jeremy will have some real challenge at the U.S. Nationals I think.
I don't think so, because he was fifth at Skate America. There are three spots left, and as long as Javier, Daisuke, and Yuzuru all land somewhere on the podium, they would all qualify ahead of Jeremy, correct? If Daisuke or Yuzuru miss the podium, than Jeremy would have a shot, but that would be a surprise. Though, stranger things have happened.
