Thoughts on the Axel technique - I've never seen a spun triple Axel before, and I don't know that it last if he gets taller?Nakata is all over the place when he comes down on the jumps. He's either leaning way outside the circle or his upper body is twisted slightly further ahead than his legs. It's distracting, but he's landing them anyways.
Very rare case of a Japanese program not doing one ounce to help show off glorious skating skills. I think he's actually just average on them, in fact.
