Skaters on Team Japan

[Plumededragon]

There is also a large gap left by Daisuke Murakami's absence...!

That's also true. And Sota Yamamoto as well!
Basically only everyone in the ladies is here... but things are looking grim for Mao. I really hope she'll make a strong come-back in the free.

Conglatulations Shoma! National Champion! Tears in your eyes. So so moving :sad4: You did really great.

But, Fuji TV, WHY NOT LIVE, at least the final two groups of men !? Am I really in Japan ? :ddevil:

Seriously! I was watching the ladies and the weird narration after Marin's SP (which was wonderful btw) thinking "Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"
And they skipped Sena and his 3A

 

[alia jackson]

I thought it was lisfranc. I think it was posted in the Ills and Injuries thread.

Oh no! it is the same injury that Yuzu has

 

[SuzyQ]

Yes! I was sure that we could see Sena's 3A even by recording, as I checked about it on the Internet Sports Navi. But they skipped.

Sorry, ladies, but I did not need to hear their interview every after their performance, as it was not already live. Fuji should have shorten the ladies part (or they should have aired it live earlier!), and shown us mens part live :furious:

There are so many complaints about this on the internet already including Yahoo news comments. No wonder.

I wanted to see Tatsuya Tsuboi too. He was in 10th. After all, do we have to wait for the special program?

Yes, bad news since it needs a long recovery time. Poor Dice. I was disappointed to not see him at Sk Amer.

A quick question re. ladies' SP TV broadcasting last night, specifically about Yuka Nagai, I wonder if anyone watching caught this:
When Yuka was stepping off the ice, I heard the broadcaster talked about 'To Canada next year' Is it that Yuka will be relocating to Canada? Does anyone know any detail? (but later on I also read from twitter that it's her coach who will be going to Canada? Not really sure about which one so I'm asking here)

I heard that her coach (Mr. Megumu Seki) is relocating to Canada next year. Nothing was mentioned about Yuka moving with him, rather I think the announcer was saying that Yuka wants to do good job for him to show appreciation or something like that...

Thanks for the reply. At least this means Yuka will probably going to work with other coach in the future.

Saya Suzuki. Who is this girl? and How old is she? (eta, ok she is 15) Only I know about her is that she is Nagakubo's student.
At Nats, this is the first time I watched her performances and thought she is quite good (she has it factor.), anyone?

Thanks mikaboo. yes, she is very cute and talented.
I like that her performance ability is like an unknown quantity and it’s good for her having Akiko Suzuki as her ideal skater and choreographer. :yay:

They look so relaxed and happy

 

[Pika]

Do we know why there are no substitutes indicated for Jr Ladies at Worlds ?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Yes! I was sure that we could see Sena's 3A even by recording, as I checked about it on the Internet Sports Navi. But they skipped.

Me too~

 

[Yatagarasu]

I am of course ecstatic for Yuzuru but Keiji gets to go to Worlds and 4CC! So happy for the man! Now work on that second quad and hopefully this is a big positive thing in the end.
