I was wondering does anyone know what happened to Shoma? Was it injury or... He was getting so close to beating Yuzuru and now he would be lucky to make worlds. I don't really understand why he sort of has gone coachless. It dosn't really work as we've seen with Kwan, Chan. Lambiel does seem to be the new flavor of the season. Suddenly you see him everywhere. We haven't seen tremendous results as to podium finishes but you can see potential with his skaters. Still with hanyu at the helm Japan will have no problems. I am curious why Daisuke doesn't skate competitively outside of Japan. I assume he has an extreme joy of skating and likes skating but knows he isn't the same as before or the push for quads is so much it is hard to be competitive. But I assume he would be similar to Jason Brown - such beauitul skating that he sttill is a threat for top six and with a quad even podium right now. Japan has a fairly strong group of men after Hanyu. All capable skaters especially with not a lot of consistency after Hanyu and Nathan.
