Mura won ?
I guess it was right to send Takahashi after all
must have been a fluke medal by Kozuka at nationals
What happened to Denis Ten?
Kozuka amazing, who cares about the medals, he is a poem, I will miss him in Sochi sooo muchWorld needs to see again his smooth skating and his fantastic exhibitions!
Why do you say he needs surgery? What is it?
He fell twice(Ten)... on triples. But, given last season, I'm not that upset. I mean, he was 12th last season(yes, i do realize there was more comp.), and then worlds happened. not a good way to go into sochi, but olympics are a whole different game, and he has prev. olympic experience, so we'll see what happens.
that's the thing with inconsistent skaters though... you don't know how they're going to skate one competition to another.
Yup. That's one of the reasons I was surprised Paul & Islam were chosen as Canada's 3rd Dance team this year because they're the most inconsistent of Canada's top dancers.
Anyway, as to the Men at this event, I notice that Jeremy Ten dropped further in the FD. I suppose it's not a total surprise since he had major problems with his FD at Nationals this month. I was there in person and it was pretty rough for him because he fell a couple of times and had a lot of missed jumps. I think injuries and inconsistency are making it difficult to get back to where he was a few years ago.
In my memory Denis always pops jumps or falls. Since his breakthrough at worlds 5(?) years ago, his only great performances I can remember were at worlds 2013, where he won silver.
I read somewhere on this forum that he had a congenital malformation at the knee (?) (Hope to remember correctly) that hindered him since last year and, since this was probably his last chance to an olympic, ha had postponed the operation until after this season...Kozuka amazing, who cares about the medals, he is a poem, I will miss him in Sochi sooo muchWorld needs to see again his smooth skating and his fantastic exhibitions!
