[elektra blue]

@elektra blue and I are here for you

here i come with the emergency supplies

 

[elektra blue]

not the skate he wanted

 

[labgoat]

Shunsuke looking very noble. He struggles on a couple opening jumps but is selling big time. The axels are not working today and hard landings are there. We are going to need ice afterwards. The rest of his moves are very elegant. He did not give up at any point. His good landings are straight as a pencil.
Just concentrate on the axels and you will fix most of the problems.

I could tell Shunshun was having issues with his 3A by the way he was focusing on the entry during the 6 min warmup

He should consider changing his FS to POTO

Jaekeun Lee KOR
FS: "Piano Concerto No. 2" by Rachmaninoff; choreo by Jeffrey Buttle, Haejin Kim
I always think of this as the wistful Rach. Hard fall where your feet get caught in the ice. His demeanor remains serene and he regroups to complete the rest of the program with style and elegance. Strange fall on his ending position. that may have hurt.

Kao the enemy is in your head. Stop overthinking and overpowering everything.

GANBA!!!

Focus lad, trust what you have learned

 

[elektra blue]

everyone is so prickly today...

 

[labgoat]

He regrouped nicely at the end as he is no longer forcing his elements. Sometimes you grip something so tightly you crush it and break it. More power is not what is needed here, leaning into the rhythm of the jump is what is needed.
