Sorry posted on wrong thread
It's so exciting that the race for the third men's spot is so close this season. In terms of GP results, it's Keiji > Kazuki > Sota >Koshiro right now, but nothing's set in stone yet. (though Keiji tends to perform best at home) Plus there are Yuuma and Shun. wow. So much talent around.
Now, I don't really understand the technical aspects of skating, so I'll post my question here. Does anyone find Sota's jump technique 'strange'? I am just asking because both commentators on our TV said it was. Apparently his rotation is extremely fast and that's not common? I have to admit I haven't seen anything off about his jumps myself, neither do I recall having seen it mentioned anywhere, so I'm wondering if it's just those two individuals finding his technique weird.

Daisuke Takahashi? Hasnt he switched to Ice Dance?CoughDaisukeCough
Japan Nationals will be his final singles competition.Daisuke Takahashi? Hasnt he switched to Ice Dance?
Like last year, if someone takes his spot, it will be because he lets it happen.I meant the 3rd spot for the Worlds and 4CC teams.

Uhhhh... You obviously missed the news? Daisuke Takahashi's switching to ice dance in January 2020. Therefore, whatever his placement at Nats, he won't be taking any spots as a single skater. So Surimi is absolutely right to count him out.
Uhhhh...you do realize that people change their minds? And if Daisuke finishes in the top 3, he will be under consideration regardless? And that your tone was rather insulting?

Uhm, I don't think he will be under consideration because, as far as I know, he doesn't have the scores to compete at Worlds... maybe I'm wrong but I knew he needed to compete to a couple of challengers to be eligible for Worlds

Yuzuru > Keiji > Shoma > Kazuki > Sota > Koshiro
Obviously we know that Shoma can do a lot better, and I hope he does, but it's not as guaranteed as it was in previous seasons, which then makes everything even more unpredictable
I think Shoma's move to Lambiel, already having good results, will keep him on the upward trajectory for Nationals. -Here's hoping. --I also hope that the performances for ALL the Worlds and 4CC hopefuls at Nationals will be good. Last year was really, really messy.
I watched Jr.Nationals on TV and thought Yuma Kagiyama might have chance to be on the podium or finish in top 6 IF he could perform perfectly at Senior Nationals. Of course, it really depends on how other skaters will do.
