23 Japan Nationals Men Short PBP

[Tak]

Resurfacing Now and Channel switch is required.
There is a rumor that Terrestrial Channel coverage may not be live, but slightly tape delayed.
If it is , then, I might be slightly behind online coverage.

 

[Tak]

Channel 8 Fuji Coverage is about to start from 19:00 Tokyo time.
Just starting now with tape recorded Shunsuke Nakamura SP.

 

[Holy Headband]

The broadcast itself is unfathomably useless—they didn’t show Tsuboi and Yamamoto’s clean skates because they were too busy replaying Nakamura Shunsuke’s SP and showing 30 commercials in a row and now we’re missing Miura’s skate—but I am once again feeling very thankful to QQ recast guy. Is there a way to transfer him money as a show of gratitude for all the competitions I’ve watched on his channel that wouldn’t require me to set up a bunch of accounts on Chinese social media?

 

[Hedwig]

do you have any idea for free link now?

 

[Tak]

Incredible number of commercials and teasers are still going on at Fuji Channel 8.
Finally, skaters intro and 6 min warm-up for Group 4.
Kao Miura is here.

 

[Tak]

As feared, Terrestrial coverage is Tape Delayed.
They are just beginning to show 6 min warm-up for Group 4.

The Technical Panel is dictating the ranking of skaters, and this is WRONG!
Let nine judges evaluate not you Shin Amano!
