Epic end to the junior season
Epic end to the junior season
Why could Pitot do 3 3A`s? First in combination, 2nd popped, and then a last one later. I thought 2 was the limit for a jump.
Attempts only count if you rotate - the pop is recorded as a single Axel, and skaters can attempt as many singles as they want to in their 7 jumping passes.Because he did 2 in fact
Really? Both of those skaters are contenders for the medals at Worlds so why would the Japanese Federation want them to interrupt their preparation to go to Junior Worlds? Neither skater has done a junior competition this season, and suddenly this late in the year they're reworking their programs, and dropping the quads from the short program to get the Japanese what exactly?Sour grapes comment by this JPN fan, before Rio Nakata scores.
JPN Junior Men A team is sitting at home, right now.
We should have sent YUMA and KAO!
This is strange. We`ve had discussions before that if there is a set up for a jump it counts as an attempt. They don`t even need to leave the ice. Are axels treated differently than other 3`s?Attempts only count if you rotate - the pop is recorded as a single Axel, and skaters can attempt as many singles as they want to in their 7 jumping passes.
You are confusing two different concepts. A set-up that goes wrong gets called A, or F, or Lz, or whatever the intended jump was.This is strange. We`ve had discussions before that if there is a set up for a jump it counts as an attempt. They don`t even need to leave the ice. Are axels treated differently than other 3`s?
The single Axel counts as a jump - it has a base value, but he didn't attempt a triple Axel - a popped jump doesn't count as the planned jump.This is strange.

He's not eligible is he?We should have sent YUMA and KAO!
Yes, and Japan is very much his home country - his English isn't great, and I have no idea if he's ever lived in the UK at all. Can't see him giving up Japanese citizenship.
Oh, interesting! I was basing it off an interview he gave on the JGP in English, which seemed competent, but far from fluent - definitely not his first language.Maybe what I read on Wikipedia was wrong? Wikipedia says that his mother is Welsh and he speaks English predominantly at home? It also says the family moved to Chiba in 2022, but it doesn't say from where. I had assumed UK from the context, but that may be wrong.
He grew up in Japan, not Wales, he did not move to Chiba from Wales—he moved to Chiba to join Nakaniwa Kensuke's training camp—and his English is not great. He probably speaks it with his mother, and you can hear that in his accent sometimes, but if she's his primary source of exposure to the language, then he's not going to be as fluent as someone who grew up in an English-speaking environment, just like the child of, say, a Chinese person and an American person living in America is unlikely to speak Mandarin with the standard vocabulary and level of fluency, let alone the reading and writing skills, of a Chinese kid in China. Moreover, Nakata's Japanese father is also his coach.Maybe what I read on Wikipedia was wrong? Wikipedia says that his mother is Welsh and he speaks English predominantly at home?

He is way more Japanese than he is British and it makes sense that he has no particular interest in representing Great Britain. That may change in a few years when he moves up to seniors and stops getting international assignments, but I don't understand why it's so shocking he's not jumping at the chance to represent a country on the other side of the world when the Japanese figure skating development program is so comprehensive and it's all he's ever known.
You are right. Yuma's skating age is twenty.He's not eligible is he?

Responding after several hours of sleep that I did so (on X) several times during the Free Dance as did several other people.Has anyone tried reaching out to the ISU on social media regarding the sound issue? It seems like it's going to continue with the men's free skate as I can barely hear the in-arena music, and announcements right now.
It's men...Any “must see” programs?
