URed as always

How can you tell? The camera was far/low quality and the angle was not that good.

 

Not doubting you, I'm just asking for your experience.

 

I have my doubts too but I'm not so sure. I notice that in many cases, skaters make sort of a "knee-jerk" as they land URed jumps. I don't know if that's the right way to spot UR tho.

Oh, so sorry.  Then how about these ones?

(music is gone for some seconds )

 

Shun Sato SP

 

 

Yuma Kagiyama SP

 

 

Shun

- He still has some room left in that 4T like woa 0.0 But, did he really get a perfect score (including GOE) for that 4T3T? I know that this is a local comp but like not even Yuzu's 4T3T at 4CC 2020 got it. Shun's combo is nice but it is not at that level yet. 

- His Lz is flat or slightly outside?

- I really don't like that they go for the piano ver. in the second half. IMO the orchestra version would be better. 

- Some nice choreo right there but in some parts it feels like he runs after the music. 

 

Yuma

-  His jumps are nice

- That SP has a lot of similarities to his FP last year IMO. Even if he had chosen Take5, it would probably not have been that much different. 

- Something about his arm movements bothers me. 

- Same with Shun, IN/PE can be refined further. In some parts it kind of feels like he just does some half-hearted moves because of the music cues. 

 

All in all, this is still early season. They both did well  

 

PS: Maybe off-topic but both of them have nicer SS than Nate's

I think it's URed because she hits the ice when her shoulder (and not face) is facing camera.

I could maybe give it benefit of doubt (as you said, quality worse than usually) but it's Rika and her quad, so I don't.

After all, it's not the first time when she has good flow out of URed jump (quads including).

It's not really the best way to judge UR's but better than nothing when quality of video is so bad.

How Shun Sato must feel low! If he doesn't get "good" results in this competition, will there be consequences for him?

I was surprised when it was decided suddenly, but I'm glad I managed to put it together and have fun acting with everyone.

At the beginning of the Chubu Championship, which was scheduled for a double axel (two and a half jumps), she challenged the quadruple salchow. It was a decision to compete in the world. On this day, I avoided saying, "I couldn't adjust it, and I didn't put it in this time because it wasn't in shape yet," but I also summarized the jumps along with the others.

I haven't got off clean yet, but I'm still willing to continue practicing. "When I practiced after coming here, it was pretty good for me, but I still don't have enough rotation. I'm researching how to rotate it".

[about 3a:] I overturned and couldn't make a quick decision, but I was able to get off with one leg without running out of rotation. Next time, I want to practice so that I can get a plus so that I can land firmly.

Last season's goal was to incorporate the three and a half revolutions that were introduced at the end of the season from the first race. I had fallen at the ice show "Dream on Ice" last month, but this day I went around on the investigation of the free "Poeta" which is the second season. "When it comes to the match, there are only 0 or 100. Today I got 0 points. However, if I just looked at the axel from practice, I could give 70 points. I want to bring it to the match with 100 points firmly".

I was nervous because I slipped in the tournament after a long time, but I put the axel. It leads to self-confidence, and it leads to the next.

Even at the age of 25, Hosoda was in full swing. Three and a half rotations to incorporate from SP. He never makes excuses, but he says that the pain in his lower back, which can be said to be one of the reasons why he missed the All Japan Championship last season, is chronic. Even so, I have repeatedly said that the reason why I continue to be active is "I like skating too much. If I don't skate, I feel like I'm not." Commitment to three and a half revolutions, which was the first success at the age of 22. It doesn't change even if I "return" under coaches Utako Nagamitsu and Takeshi Honda, who were instructed up to 3rd grade about a month ago.

I was really happy, and I was so nervous that my internal organs popped out, and I couldn't stop feeling excited since I was at the hotel, but it was the first time in 10 months that I was excited, so I was nervous. I think I enjoyed it.

[about SP choreo:] I think the highlight is the steps. It's a really big movement, and I think the image of this song is "the image of taking a deep breath in the forest." It's a really relaxed choreography. I've practiced a lot because it's a step, but I think there are still challenges. I'd like to continue to say, "The highlight is the step!"

I got off to a good start in the first competition of the season, I've always been in the first race, I've been stalling at the beginning, and I've been unable to perform well. I want to show something different and "I want to grow." Therefore, I was able to perform a good performance that will lead to the next one. I want to concentrate and do my best tomorrow without feeling tired.

Coach Sonoko Nakano pushed her back to the rink, saying, "I can definitely do it. Smile firmly until the end."

I felt like I was back in the game when my name was called before I slipped. I was happy and happy. I was happy to ride the ice in the game after a long time. I am grateful to Coach Nakano, the people around me, and the people involved in holding this tournament. "The condition is different from what it was two years ago, but I'm fine and I want to improve it.

[about NHK:] I didn't know what to do because I was surprised and happy because there was a name in the NHK Cup player column. I want to perform well as a representative of Japan. I want to be able to get to the best condition there.
