Men's Short Program

[Layfan]

Darn, Kozuka. Had to save all his landings and missed his combo. Nice scratch spin at the end though.

Go Dai!!!

 

[Spun Silver]

Bad night for Kozuka. Too bad. I don't really get his skating anyway. To me this program is Ryan Bradley territory - Kozuka doesn't have the humor to pull it off. He hasn't found himself, stylewise, yet.

Go Dai! My hero!

 

[Bluebonnet]

Wow! Takahashi! 3/3, 3A, 3Lz perfect! Must be in 80s.

 

[Enidan]

daisuke clean, landed all the jumps

 

[FTnoona]

Ohh noo... Does that mean Kozuka has little hope of being on the podium?! I can't wait for youtube videos!!

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Dai is giving everyone a skating clinic!!!

 

[Layfan]

Yes!! Dai brought it. That was wonderful. I thought his spin combos were much improved.

 

[golfisme64]

He has got his mojo back - loved it. Clean and beautiful! Love this kid

Finally, the clean short from Dai.
I have been waiting for this for so long.
Yes, my heart is still beating faster!!

 

[Spun Silver]

Thank you, Dai! My Mambo King! Brilliant! Fabulous! Increible!!!

But dare I suggest... Brill cream? How the hell can he see with that mop on top?

 

[Bluebonnet]

83.49 SB

I thought it could be higher.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Ohh noo... Does that mean Kozuka has little hope of being on the podium?! I can't wait for youtube videos!!

Anything can happen in the FS, but he'll have to skate fantastically and clean, and hope some other guys make key mistakes.

Takahashi was on fire. That was a great skate!

Wow, Dai! The guy is amazing. He exudes charisma. It's hard to believe that he is only as tall as Mao but on ice he looks larger than life.

 

[Layfan]

83.46! Hurray! That is the Daisuke we know and love.:think:

oops. .49.

he's only as tall as Mao??

 

[FTnoona]

Goosh I hope Hanyu doesn't get nervous after Takahashi's perf >.<

 

[oakl0008]

Dai totally rocked that ice. And who else could rock that hairstyle like he does?
