Sano-san in a red coat. I wonder where he got these made?
Yuzu hands Sano-san a towel... and Sano-san says "Tsuzuki-Sensei, I did it without falling!"
"Everyone is so worried for me, is he ok? Doing this again after 22 years, I felt, figure skating is so fun! Thank you Hanyu for letting me do this"
Now, today's technical element is the hydroblade.
Introducing the difficulty of this element, the balance is difficult, and the strain on the foot it's quite difficult especially coming at the end of the program.
The back-out hydroblade that Suzuki Akiko and Shae lynn are good at.
Next Back-in hydroblade go for a long time...
Mura demonstrates.
"Go longer, more, more, more!" -From Yuzu and Sano
Mura demonstrates doing it with a fore arm on the ice
"What about the shoulder?"
"What about the head?"
Mura: That's called falling!
Yuzu: I used to do the hydroblade with one hand on the ice, then it gradually became no-hands while doing the hydroblade.
It's tiring to hold the leg up like this.
Sano: I practiced the sit-spin so much that my back started hurting, and I couldn't do it in the performance.
