2020-21 Japanese Nationals: Men's Free Skate

That quad lutz just isn't working out for Sato Shun

What happened to his spins? I read that he was recently injured or something, does that have to do with it?

I think he pulled his neck or something, so maybe? Or he's been practicing jumps as opposed to spins?

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

The only footage I've ever seen of Shun landing a quad lutz in practice also featured him stepping out on it, so he might need to wait another year on that one.

Sato was sloppy and fought for nearly every jump, but that was still just about the best we seen from him this season. The lutz just isn’t working out right now.

 

[Sai Bon]

Apparently Keiji has a knee injury...

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I always forget Shun's only 16. He has lots of time to grow.

 

[pianistliz]

Imperfect skate from Shun but he fought for it.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Apparently Keiji has a knee injury...

Is he skating?

 

[zanadude]

No splats, but only one combo. Progress?

 

[elektra blue]

as usual mr waistcoat choose to be cleanish when i don't put him in my predictions...

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

that answers my question. Go Keiji

 

[Yuzuruu]

yes Keiji!!! I think he is one combo short, but a great effort!

 

[EdgeCall]

Phew. A bit rough, but powerful.

 

[lzxnl]

I liked Keiji's program! Unfortunately those lack of combos will hurt him.

 

[pianistliz]

I really like Keiji's program

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Keiji that was pretty good! Love that step sequence.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Not perfect per say, but for once the popstar didn't pop and I enjoyed that very much.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I think I didn’t put Keiji in my predictions and I don’t know why now.

 

[elektra blue]

Not perfect per say, but for once the popstar didn't pop and I enjoyed that very much.

a couple of skaters stole his title

 

[Sai Bon]

Wow, 155!

 

[elektra blue]
