2018-19 Japanese National FS Championships Men's FS

[CaroLiza_fan]

You have no idea how badly I want Daisuke to make the team. Doesn’t have the minimum TES, though, so if he places second here... who knows. He could still get that minimum before Worlds but yeah.

I went all out and put him down to win Nationals in the Predictions Game, so I have good reason to want him to be on the podium here!

By the way, I forgot to remind everybody that although there is no live scoring on the English version of the Entries / Results Page, it is available on the Japanese version:

Hope this helps

I've seen statements floating around (not sure from which sources? so take it with a grain of salt) which stated that JSF said if Dai medals and is willing to go to Worlds, they will send him.

uuuugggghhhh then I have to sacrifice Kazuki, but

look, as long it’s not Keiji, it’s a win

Just letting you know that our Russian friend is on the ball and has already switched over to the main Fuji TV channel on their Odnoklassniki stream:

By the way, I realise that it was probably missed because the adverts had just ended by the time I finished writing it, but does anybody have an answer for the question that I asked earlier:

I think it depends on the athlete, but usually not. Though Taka Kozuka got a research job at Toyota.

In other news with all the costume changes has Shoma gone back to velvet pants yet? I really feel like he does better when he's got those on.

 

[schizoanalyst]

I read somewhere there that Daisuke might not be able to go to Worlds at all, but aren't there also TES minimums for 4CC too?

Yeah there are (I briefly forgot this), but there are a bunch of rando comps all over Europe he could show up at and get the minimum.

He’s Daisuke Takahashi, BLEEPs! He IS the minimum of excellence you should be striving toward!

Speaking of Shoma, I'm super scared for him ... His team is keeping nil about whether there's an injury/ how serious it is, but the practice reports I read weren't good at all ...

As for Dai, there are still a few B comps he can attend for TES minimums. There was a thread in The Edge where someone helpfully listed out the comps, so you can check there

Looks like Dice K has just arrived at the arena!

I wonder why Japanese TV has so much words on it all the time...

OMG Stephaneeeee!

Pity. Could you imagine the joy it would bring if you got onto a plane for a routine journey and then discovered that Yuzuru or Marin (depending on the airline) were part of the crew for your flight?

Oh no, I hope Shoma's OK I would hate to see a repeat of Worlds Last year where he was falling on everything, it looked so painful.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Whew, just in time for the third group. I don't care if he's the Ringo or not, I need (Tomono) Kazuki and his riverdance at Worlds...

 

[Metis]

commencing worry circle for Shoma

I miss the hairography into the Axel.

 

[Ichatdelune]

It's kinda amazing that Kozuka Takahiko and Arakawa Shizuka both have great voices, or is it that they were intentionally chosen to commentate for their voices?

Hope Uno Shoma's feet are okay, my back hurts and I'm feeling sympathetic.

Shoma in da house!

I'm on the qq stream, it's rather confusing! The guy has to keep changing between streams and one is behind the other. Is there a more stable stream out there?

https://ok.ru/video/1466308566547 I'm using the ok stream.

That reminds me of something I have been wondering.

During the coverage of the ski jumping, David Goldstrom has frequently pointed out that the Japanese jumpers represent companies rather than clubs, and that once they retire, they are assured of a job with that company.

So, does the same happen in figure skating? For example, I see in the Entry Lists that:

• Koshiro Shimada represents Kinoshita Group
• Shoma Uno represents Toyota Motor Corporation
• Yuzuru Hanyu represents All Nippon Airways
• Marin Honda represents Japan Airlines

Does that mean that they will be working for those companies eventually?

I am not familiar with ski jumping. From my limited knowledge, lot's of ski jumpers belongs "実業団”, which translated as "works team" in Wikipedia, that means companies are their employer. On the other hand, for most of figure skaters, companies are their sponsor, not their employer.

You could try the Odnoklassniki stream. Because when the Chinese stream I was watching earlier started having problems with their source video, they opened up the OK stream and just started re-broadcasting it.

So, I decided that I may as well watch the original:

Unsurprisingly, the quality is a lot better on the original than on the re-broadcast version.

Hopefully this will work for you too
