Interview with Yuma Kagiyama. He says his goal is to be an "all round" skater and describes Nathan as being the closest to his ideal. He likes the way Nathan expresses himself and watches his programs often to try to learn to skate in that fashion.

One of the workers at the arena shot a close up video of the "audience." I think I saw Romain? LOL

Yeah, his hair is long. Maybe he'll do the slicked back hair again.

Meh, even worse than I thought.

Meh, even worse than I thought.

I watched the whole practice, he looks good. He was the first skater of the first practice group. Later in the practice, he getting better and better. I especially like how he improves his spins and stsq.

Well I disagree, there are so many things I found disappointing.

I cannot agree with you also based on my experience. Remind this is the first practice. I attended as a viewer at many competitions that Nathan attends, he usually not in the best condition when it starts, but after several practices, he getting better.

 

[luckyu2]

Watched the practice today (for the most part). My take is he was not feeling 100% with the jumps so he went on practicing more on spins/stsq (saw some good edges today).

The things I dislike have nothing to do with this being the first practice or him being the first skater.

I'd like to know why he changed his 4F entry, though, that was strange (I can think of several possible reasons, but I wonder which one it is)

 

[sheetz]

I didn't see much of his practice outside the runthru but I was surprised he went for his full arsenal being first up. Usually he'll mark his jumps when he's first up.
