NHK Trophy - Men's Discussion

[Sebastian]

I have to say i LOVED daisuke's program. even though it wasn't skated well, I can see such incredible potential in it. The choreography's incredible, the concept is consistent, and carried through the program, and it still maintains his elegance and grace while having a light dramatic feel. He's just so wonderful!

and the Footwork was the die for!

I'm really excited to see this program again.

Didn't know until today that Johnny had a cold. He sounded stuffy as well. I so enjoyed watching his program on tv rather than from icenet on my laptop. He was terrific, in spite of the misses. I just love that boy....

OMG Jeremy!!! for a moment I thought I was watching Alissa He was either falling on his butt or underrotating jumps. How can someone's jumps go from good to FATAL?!?!?!?

Wasn't it sad? I had to stop watching after the second fall. What I've read, and I'm not sure if it's true, is that he totally lost focus after missing the first jump (his quad). I don't think he needs the quad. A clean skate would do it for him, but he still plans one for his next competition, in which case this could happen again. I hope Yuka can talk him out of it, since he rarely lands it in practice.

Jeremy should probably return to Tom and Johnny to Priscilla

so far, i love the Japanese men's programs, Abbott's & i can't remember if anyone else.

Johnny's is weak IMO & as much as i want him to do well this season, i feel like it's going to be the fight of his life~

Sorry for not getting here sooner. I was in Nagano and as a point of information, Johnny skated both programs with a really bad sinus infection and a fever. He was still sick when he left Nagano. It appears that he gets to fly back to Japan for the GPF and I don't think that it's necessarily a good thing. The recirculated air on planes isn't good for you.
