I saw your comment and decided to not comment further

His spins usually are borderline unwatchable so... At least he didn't get a V today and even got a few level 4s. For some reason his spins rarely are punished within Japan, but internationally.... Yeah, he's not a good spinner, so you have to take what you can get.

Japanese men spins are mostly tragic in both junior and senior level, so that may explain their local scoring standards.

Japan, like basically all countries (except for Korea, I think) has two very different groups of male skaters - Those with gorgeous spins and those with abysmal spins, basically nobody between that

that was close to a disaster fall

 

[rabidline]

These saves. CHILD.

For me most of them are abysmal. It's like a national inheritance.

I'm ok with the axel but the combo going green???

 

[rabidline]

Well! I don't know how he landed all those jumps but he somehow did! Welsh Colantotte power!

 

[4everchan]

i don't know.. i like Rio but I think his two first jumping passes were a tad overscored.

I can't wait for the slow-mo of the axis of the axel.

That's because you probably only see the Japanese skaters who make it to international competitions and those are usually the strong jumpers, and strong jumpers are often not strong spinners.

Wouldn't say Shoma, Yuzu or Yuma for example have abysmal spins - At least not now.
