Haha, I'm just as crazy. I'm the only one here in the house staying up to watch Daisuke skate. I'm a complete nervous wreck right now,

Dai-chan :yay: so happy for him that he got through the SP. To bad about the quad but I was prepared for that.
He fought for that program, stayed upright and delivered his other elements, a fine skate indeed. He should be proud
because he is sitting in 4th place, not to shabby.
Wishing him good luck for the FS tomorrow. I will be rooting for him!

Watching the slow motion replay of Dai's quad attempt, it's hard to tell whether it should've been marked as downgraded or under-rotated instead. Wish it could've been counted as a quad. The technical panel may have had a different camera angle from the one I saw (the one shown on NBC), though.
In terms of how close the scores are after the short, there's a huge traffic jam from third to thirteenth place. I hope Dai can pull away from the pack in the free! He's skating second after the warmup; I think that's good!

Yes yes, I agree with ya all on Dai's performance last night. The quad mistake aside (which was sort of anticipated at this point), he did the best he could do. His Sonatina was full of his heart as always, but rather soft, very gentle and delicate, compared to the sharp aggressive and edgy one at NHK Trophy.
Good luck to Daisuke in the Free skate tonight! We are rooting for you!!! :yay:

Dai showed his beautiful skating during his run though in morning practice. Still struggling with the quad and some trouble
with his 3A but landed 3Ax2toe.
He looked relaxed and calm and ready to go.

Once more Daisuke was the most shining, adorable and moving skater on the ice. If I could, I would have given him all the medals and more. He has nothing to be ashamed of, he did himself, his team and his fans proud. No medal? So what. Seeing him smile and his whole performance made this lacklustre Sochi Olympic so much better! Go Dai!

:yes: As soon as I saw his calm relaxed smile at the opening pose to Beatles medley, any of score or placement afterwards did not matter at all to me, and I simply tried not to miss any moments of four and half minutes' luxurious time of figure skating. Daisuke's skating is the figure skating in a true way for me. No one but Daisuke can grab my heart and soul like that. One and only. I for one am most grateful that he decided to continue after Vancouver season, even though he knew four more years would never be easy for him physically, and gave us such wonderful time with his many dazzling performances to remember forever. I was smiling, and crying at hte same time, during his last skate at the Olympic Games. 8th at Tornio on his first showing, 3rd at Vancouver that was after almost career-ending injury, 6th at Sochi on his third showing and at his 12th senior season. He should be proud of himself!
What happens at a number of threads on GS Forum at the moment is just :disapp: to me...and don't want or bother myself to read most of them. But just in case, to those who may be a bit worried about media reactions in Japan or people's overall reaction to Dai's placement, they are far from 'harsh'. So no worries!

"He has been struggling so long since his injury. So I believe he did very well while dealing with such physical condition. I would like to give him a perfect scores (100 points).
'I love your skating so much, more than anyone's in the world', I told Daisuke right after his free skate tonight. I am the one who has wanted all these years, and still wants it badly, to see Daisuke to skate. forever. So it makes me so so sad that I won't see him skate anymore."

"I want to give my son Gold Medal from me. He looked very gentle, happy and enjoying, to my eyes, while skating free tonight.
That was the best smile I've ever seen from him at competitions. I am the happiest mother to have a son like him."

When Nobu started getting emotional, I couldn't help the tears myself. You can really see how much he cares and supported Daisuke.
