^Thanks for the upload! Now we won't have to listen to Scott and Co. with their constant yammering!
The Canon interview doesn't have much that's new but I did find this passage about Nathan's 3A to be interesting:
I feel a little gutted about Nathan's 3A, he learned it on a clean curvy entry edge (which is the old-schooled ideal technique that Yuzuru, Han Yan and Vincent etc. are using). when he was little he can do beautiful 2A (using clean curvy entry) with tons of difficult entry like spread eagle, counter etc.
He obviously had some trouble when transitioning from 2A to 3A, but I have hoped he could sticked to his old technique (be patient with it, figure out the kinks) and find his grasp of it and master it...Maybe, he will have a very confident, flying 3A now.
But Nathan and Team obviously understand his unique body the best thus chose the most suitable technique for him. I really hope that 3A will NOT become his achilles heel. I think Nathan BOI is a genius in terms of Kinesthetic, He has exhibited on many occasions to fine tune his technique on the fly for unimaginable situations. He WILL get it.
I DO believe Nathan's 3A (using his current new technique) is getting better and more consistent. Hope it WILL show in future games. Also, hope that 3A will NOT become Nathan BOI's mental block.
As an selfish fan (not a coach
) I wish Nathan maybe can re-learn the curvy clean edge entry after OG when pressure is less and he gets time (just have fun with it , why not). Because, all Nathan BOI's other jumping technique is so old-schooled and textbook. For such a genius and competitor like Nathan BOI, it must felt really great to finally conquer that 3A. Not only conquer it and execute it beautifully like his quad lutz and quad flip.
A little ideal(crazy perhaps
), maybe Nathan BOI can try change-of-edge entry into his 3A (he does that slight change-of-edge into 3jump in his warm-up), it could serve as a difficult entry (but I have never seen anyone do a difficult 3A entry like that), OR do the change-of-edge on the right leg and then step into 3A like Han's 3A here
https://youtu.be/KAGuiBtymc4?t=160 I know Nathan BOI has been playing around many different 3A entries this season already...
Okay, fans worry tooo much (please ignore me). Just hope Nathan BOI's 3A could be tame in the future games.
