2018 NHK Trophy: Men's Pre-game chat

[Interspectator]

Along with many other Fan-favorites, as always, three-cheers for Hiroaki Sato, super entertaining and representing the far north of Japan. --Which oddly, has very few skating rinks compared to the south. Hang in there Hiroaki-senshu!

Looking at the planned program contents, Vincent's team is finally doing what they should have been doing from the beginning, lowering the quad number in the FS. This might help him skate cleaner and place higher.

The planned program content is out.

Vincent's still doing two quads in the short program, but his free program has only two quads in it now (Lutz and flip). That's the smart strategy, I think.

Weird. I'm trying to see them and I can't.

Weird. I'm trying to see them and I can't.

It's because oddly it's filed under 'entries', not 'content'...confusing :think:

I think Zhou has a great starting number = 9, as he is able to do his sp just before Aliev, Uno and Voronov... Hopefully he will rotate his jumps!!!

I'm so rooting for him. He looked so confused, miserable and shy in kiss&cry at Skate America. And then all the uproar about his jumps afterwards. I'm not astonished if he goes into this competition feeling quite nervous. All the best Vincent!

I'm very curious to see what Kevin will use for his FP since he had to change it for the NHK.

Why did he have to change it?

Why did he have to change it?

Copyright issues.

 

[snowflake]

oh, that's tough to change in such a short time... hope Kevin found a good solution!

He's now using the Chrono Trigger OST https://twitter.com/char_chan26oct/status/1060232527615483905
