2014-15 Japanese Nationals Mens SP

I haven't seen obvious "national inflation" at Japanese Nationals, at least last few years.
In fact, some people complain, judge should introduce it to boost Japanese skaters reputation:biggrin:.

Well, AFAIK, Kovtun complained about "national inflation" on Hanyu's score at Japanese Nationals in an interview last year.
I cared less about men's figure skating until recently, so I don't judge Kovtun's opinion. :) However, it is funny though.

Kovtun :shocked: complained :laugh2: about OTHER skaters' high score in their national championship? :rofl:
I have seen everything. :bow:

Why would Kovtun care about what Hanyu was getting at his Nats? :frown: Not like Kovtun was competing against him.

Lol in light of his SP score at Russian nats that's just funny :laugh2:

and what happened to ryuju :(
 
How old is Shoma? Does he have any more growth spurts? If so, he need a big one NOW.

I enjoy watching him but seriously.. but he has a little bit of that Miyahara problem except I am not sure who's shorter. I am reminded of watching Napoleon on ice!

The reason I read the interview is just because I was curious to know who would have the sole spot for Russia's men's figure skating at the Olympics.
He was not even decent toward his compatriot, Plushenko with the spectacular career either in the interview. Maybe he was insecure about the future selection at that time.

Anyway, he wasn't able to represent Russia at the Olympics, but Hanyu has got the gold medal. :biggrin:

I think he just turned 17 isn't ?
 
Come on Keiji!

... anyone notice how the jp men tend to come in threes? Dai, Oda, Kozuka; Mura, Machida, Murakami; Yuzuru, Keiji, Ryuju - the trend seems to be broken with Shoma and Sota though :(
 
This might be a dumb question, but why?

Even though the lead score isn't that high, I always think it's pressure on the one who skated last. But I hope he forgot what happened at the GPF and we'll see today the real Tatsuki.
