Men's Long Program

[Ximena]

Daisuke Takahashi
3Z-2T, phantom combo again...why can't these skaters count jumping passes?!
SLSS, great as usual
Final combo spin to close, good

He probably didn't realise it because as combos he had only do one, he probably didn't remember about his quads and axels.

Weir quad was downgraded. If it was couted, he'd be first on the FS as well

 

[Ximena]

Daisuke 4th in the FS, 2nd overall

 

[TCTC84]

Johnny still leading!

 

[annlfs]

taka is 2nd

 

[sillylionlove]

Daisuke...in second...this is just too much

He probably didn't realise it because as combos he had only do one, he probably didn't remember about his quads and axels.

Also I think that when skaters are doing their program, they're caught up in the moment and it's difficult to think throughout, most rely on muscle memory... I'd suggest just skating the program like always, without changing the jumps dring the program...

PS you're welcome, Dodhiyel
