the line-up is quite amazing EVEN without Volosozhar/Trankov and Papadakis/Cizeron...

Well it looks like I'll be asleep by the time Yuzuru comes on. Which will be good because I'm too nervous to see live results anyways.

The line-up is amazing again...or I've just come to appreciate all the skaters more and more each year.
Go everyone and land you shh...stuff.
We'll have between 14-16 attempted quads in the SP alone.
I'm not sure if the Americans are trying it in the SP?
A record number of guys are going to go for 2 in the SP Kovtun, Menshov, Jin and Yuzu.
I hope Mura has a better showing here than he did at his first GP. Also, will he still be wearing his duster costume for the LP?
So much to look forward to.

from Americans, Richard attempted quad at COC i think, no idea if he will cange his lay out. speaking of him, still no reports? :sad21:
OMG I'd forgotten about that costume (or my mind blocked the memory, as a self-protection mechanism)...I hope Mura has a better showing here than he did at his first GP. Also, will he still be wearing his duster costume for the LP?

Please Mura, don't be wearing that...

Worried that I'm going to miss Brendan :sad21: I might not be home from work by that time.
And definitely missing the LP.
But I'm sure Brendan will be great! :hap93:
We'll keep the Brendan slay count for you.

Well, let's hope most of the quads are landed. And good luck to everyone.

Thankyou! I hope you're ready to count high!
I hope the Japanese crowd likes him. I mean, he kind of has the ingredients for them, doesn't he? Beautiful straight jumps, with quads, nice spins, that super-charming style, the silly kiss-and-cry stuff...I hope they like him!

The feather vest? I remember when I went to Skate America and I was like, "What the heck is that?"

From the press conference, Yuzu decided after Skate Canada that he could 'challenge more' in the SP. Those who watched the gala practice saw that he was trying the Toe and salchow quads from a spread eagle entrance. That's when he was trying out the feeling of 2 quads in the SP.

The truth is, Yuzu and Mao are more than just athletes in Japan. They have mega-star status. TV ratings go up whenever they are on TV. And TV stations/news reporters take full advantage of that. And they have no obligation to cover the rest of the skaters at this event during their practice sessions, and to be honest, none of the skaters at other events had news reports on their practice sessions. We found out from people who attended the practice sessions on how they did (Skate Canada had a livestream). Since the practice sessions are not open to the public at NHK, we are out of luck.
I haven't even seen reports on Mura and Satoko did on their practices.

Many men skipped one or two jumps or even no jump in run through practice. Brezina looks good too, but half of practice pops 4S into triple.

Kovtun and Hanyu are both in good shape in today's practice. In run through Kovtun beautifully landed 4S3T, 3A, Hanyu nice 4S, 4T2T and 3A.

Yeah unfortunately the NHK trophy doesn't have any open practice sessions so we couldn't get any report from fans.
But I also don't recall there were many (if there is in fact any) tv media coverage for Skate America or Skate Canada etc...etc....on the practice sessions and nobody was freaking out :scratch:
