He has the craziest triple axle. The height is absolutely ridiculous, it goes straight up, and covers very little distance, and then he opens up and drops down to the ice. I've never really seen one like it. But based on the ease with which he does it makes you wonder if there is another rotation in there. Either way, when it works it's really quite a unique and remarkable jump.
Shun. Great purple shirt. Wonderful program and a really good skate.
just read two first sentences
I agree, when the jumps are off, the program is still impressive from an acrobatic perspective, but even then, the pure simple basic skating skills I just nowhere near Yuma's, which I know is stating the obvious... but yeah, there was just something a bit ragged about it tonight, although I have to say, Ilia has great position in his camel, and excellent centering - that's probably what impressed me the most out of this program.
Tadao Kusaka's reactions are fun to watch, I hope to see them at the Olympics. Those two kiss and crys (and the skates) were highlights for me, it's nice to see good skates and the reactions to match.
