That's the planned content.

^It barely started less than 1/2 hour ago.

 

[silverfoxes]

It will be streamed there, but it won't be until 6:30 pm (Japan time), which is in about 8 hours.

It's just after 1pm in Japan now...so isn't it more like 5 hours?

Might i say that Brian Joubert is still one fine specimen of a man! It should be a sin to look that good. Whether he wins or looses he always looks good doing it!

Navi says he's starting now. http://live.sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/live/sports/figureskate_all/5115

 

[cohkaix]

then again the 3 Flip-3 Loop never gets ratified. Maybe she should try 3 Flip-3Toeloop. Does anyone know if any skater has ever had a backend 3 loop ratified under COP?

The current Japanese Jr ladies have done that in consecutive JGPs this season so far, including:
Yuna Aoki -3Lz-3L
Wakaba Higuchi - 3Lz-3L
Yuna Shiraiwa - 3S-3L
Yura Matsuda - 3L-3L

IIRC, there are also Korean Jr ladies got that ratified in JGP.

 

[Interspectator]

In the Warm up Shoma landed 3A 4T, Murakami landed 4S, Chan 4T.

 

[ericpkh98]

I'm kind of shocked that Mao's lutz edge looked outside...and her 3A seems actually more full rotation wise than Sochi season... Now since it looks like her technical ability improved, a key factor to her success will be her stamina, because she hasn't been competing for a while and she is actually quite old in figure skating world. If she manages to execute her improvement without difficulty, no doubt that she will be world champ in Boston.

 

[kendollwilson]

according to the planned layout Abbott has 9 triples planned. 2 Axels, 2 Flips, and 2 Lutzs. Zayak rule must apply. There must be a typo or mistake in the layout or something.

What about any Senior ladies? That's the important question. Things are much easier when you are under 16 years old. lol.

 

[bluelutz]

I agree. Probably the second 3Lz will be out.

 

[Franklin99]

Doesn't sound like Brian is having a great skate, a fall and doubling some jumps according to Navi.

 

[Interspectator]

According to Navi:
First 3A combo off balance
2Lz
3F -Fall

Lots of cheering from the crowd throughout.

 

[Violet Bliss]

It seems Brian didn't do too well. He fell and was very tired at the end if I read correctly. 105.51
