Daisuke:((... I think it is very frustrating for him that from all the japanese men he is the one without a reliable quad. Oda, Mura, Machida, Yuzuru and even Kozuka have it. But it is true that no one of these men can skate like Dai can. And it kills me to know he once could jump quads very easily and now when he needs it the most he can't.

:no: Oh god, I was afraid for him before, but now I'm almost in a panic. Horrible.

i would love to see protocols as well! i have no idea why slutskaya competed here, when she cant jump anymore?? she single handedly made team europe lose...

It wasn't just slutskaya but brezina and sotnikova. Only Fernandez did really well.

Problems with the quads. The program is an okay vehicle for Brezina, I think better than last year

Javier was on fire but this program does nothing to me. I much preferred his last LP, and by some margin. Maybe it will grow on me later on

Very strong skate, only one minor mistake. The program is solid, but I liked the Charlie Chaplin better so far. Fernandez seems to have improved on speed and spins bit.

I love Daisuke's program and skating so much. This is way better than his last LP. But if he skates like this at Sochi I'm going to kill myself

I won't be saying anything about Mao Asada's score but... it's the most inflated score I've ever seen. I know it is not her fault but I don't want this winning the Olympics. Please Yuna come back! And if not Yuna, I would be very happy for Caro if she shows her lutz and flip to win the gold.

You didn't even see that new program or how exactly she skated, so what is "this"? Yepp, the score pretty sure is inflated, but please, the most inflated score ever... after V/T at NHT last weekend for example? (and the Olys won't be Japan Open, scoring wise...)

Holy **** @ Javi! What a crazy start to this season. I loved the old program more, but this suits him quite well too. His overall skating has really improved and he's so much fun to watch.
