2015 Four Continents Videos and Results Discussion

[Sandpiper]

Yes, welcome to Golden Skate, Fai!

Shoma was only on NBC. CBC decided to focus on Nguyen and Mura for some reason, instead of the higher ranked Shoma and Murakami (like NBC). I understand Nam since it's CBC, but the inclusion of Mura in this coverage is a real mystery to me. On the bright side, we got a bit of variety between the two networks.

I think it's because Mura won Skate Canada (watched by many Canadian viewers) over Javier Fernandez (who we kinda adopted as one of our own ).

Sabinfire, if it's not too much trouble, would it be possible to upload British Eurosport or CBC videos of Peng/Zhang and Sui/Han? I know Nicky (?) doesn't like S/H's SP, but I wonder if he'd changed his mind a bit here.

EDIT: Nevermind, found all the B. Eurosport videos : (except for P/Z's LP, but I liked their performance at GPF better anyway.)

Was Shoma featured in the NBC and/or CBC coverage? If so I'd love to see the clip.

If NBC covered Shoma's program I'd like to hear what Johnny has to say about it. If you have it available?

Thanks!!

Interesting that Tara seemed to 'get' Shoma more than Johnny. I guess she has a soft spot for the Newcomers.

You're welcome. Do you mind if I ask if you are of Japanese heritage (your English is excellent), and what region are you from? I used to live in the Kyoto area in 2009 for a brief time.

I would love to see/hear what the CBC had to say about Peng & Zhang..

The interchange by Carol Lane and Kurt Browning about how irritating it was of Meryl and Charlie to have never made a mistake in years was too

I'm Japanese and have lived all over the northern half of Japan. I've actually never been to Kyoto.
My first language is English though, due to an international up-bringing.

One day, I'll do a 'tourist' vacation in my own country and see the stuff all the foreigners look for when they come to Japan. -Including going to a Maid Cafe.

Perfect. I was half-way through getting ready to upload Peng/Zhang to YouTube before Sandpiper said "nevermind", so should have a link here soon.

Sounds like fun!! I really must do that sometime.

Yes, you should! My younger brother is fluent in Japanese and lived in Japan for over 3 years as an English teacher. My Japanese is rather poor (same with all Asian languages in general), so it was great to have a family member to help out. I really enjoyed the time I spent in Japan.

"He's a big teddy bear." Though Brenda Irving needs to start getting her facts right. S/H were the defending 4CC champions, not P/Z.

Thank you, Sabinfire, for the videos. It was interesting to hear the CBC commentators (sorry for my backtracking yesterday... I didn't want to inconvenience you when there were already some videos floating around.)
