2024 NHK Trophy Men's Free Skate

So THIS is why Tatsuya is in all the assignments and reserve lists. This is quite something. Very happy for him.

Tatsuya doesn't want the imperial cactus crown

 

[rabidline]

Also insane crowd- never in doubt because Yoyogi is my favorite Japan venue, but wow!!!!!

ATTA BOY TACCHAN!!!

 

[4everchan]

this, in my humble opinion deserves to be on the podium...

The flags go wild!

I miss the Pooh-va-lanches of old, but this is cute!

Great skate for Tatsuya! Congrats.

I can' believe it... another green performance with high tech

And another happy happy man Well done Tsuboi!

 

[zebobes]

Well damn... it really could be a Japanese sweep

He did great! I don't know if his PCS will be high enough though to outscore Grassl though...

 

[readernick]

That was nice. I am not sure he has much personality as a skater yet. But, that was a huge improvement. The men here are really turning up unlike last week. Good job!

Another happy skater. I'm afraid I'd put him behind Andrew for the free, though, on the performance element. Not sure if he has the TES to stay ahead of Daniel?

 

[Paulipau]

I didn't see Tatsuya before, a very nice Japanese skater, I think he still grows into the artistry but the jumps, the speed across the ice, skating skills are all there.
And I just love to see happy skaters.

 

[Warwick360]

Not my favourite program of the night, but the skills are undeniable.

Japanese men and their knee bend will never get old.

I'm one of Andrew's biggest fans. But, I don't think the URs calls that were missed for Daniel would have changed the order. I do think Grassel's score should be signficantly lower though... not sure how he got similar PCS to Andrew. His program is very empty.

well i am not a fan of either so i don't care who gets first that much but for the sport.... don't you think that URs that are not called and too high PCS for a blank program should put Andrew ahead ??? it's not just the TP but the PCS too

You know, I was just looking at the livescoring and, were it not for Frangipani, we would have a Noah's Ark table.

2 Italians; then 3 Americans; then the one skater countries, but with Frangipani in amongst them.

Apart from the fact that I like the Japanese skaters, I hope they all retain their positions from the SP, and so complete the pattern.

The prospect looks good so far! Great skate from Tsuboi!
