I don’t quite understand you here. Are you saying that picture was not Takahashi’s landing? Yes, I learned a lesson in the “Half time” thread that my earlier GPF landing pictures were too late and not really landings. Then I learned how to capture landing screenshot to make it accurate. I suggest you do the same and study what’s the real landing. Landing means the instant when a skater’s skate just touches the ice. When some skaters under-rotate their jumps, they complete more than 1/4 rotation of the jump on the ice instead of in the air. So judges will count the moment when the skate first touches the ice as the landing, not after the skater “fully” rotates the jump on the ice. Remember the skaters are supposed to rotate their jumps in the air, not on the ice. Or maybe you can show me some evidence what Takahashi’s landing should have been in your opinion?Here you are! The show must go on! I see that thread 'Half time' in the Edge didn't give you a lesson. Okay, I'll try to put it way simpler than that- let's say when you, riemanns, wallylutzs and others who rant about his ur, are 'on land', you are in the same position like in your shot? Really? You must be some magical circus artists or somesuch if that is your idea of "landing".
I agree. Even though I’m not a Kozuka fan, I think he or Oda deserves at least 4CC. I kinda like Mura and think he earned his spot at Worlds, but JSF should really spread the assignments and send someone else to 4CC, especially since there are so many talented men in Japan. I was really surprised that Mura got to go to both Worlds and 4CC.I think the point was that Kozuka was at GPF and did fairly well, so any though of him being off the team seem foreign.
