Takahashi to Make a Comeback

[Firedancer]

I found a clip of you-know-what. Watch it here before it gets taken down!

Oh how I've missed those step sequences of his...

Thank you! So happy to see him back!

 

[my little pony]

Jesus wow thanks! I cant stop watching. if I had been there I may have needed a paramedic.

And to think he wasn't satisfied - that was stunning. I've wanted The Sheltering Sky (and more Sakamoto in general) to be used, so happy it came from Daisuke.

(The TV station actually wrote "superb performance" on the top right lol, well it's true!)

 

[The Accordion]

One of my favourite skaters of all time. IMO he is one of the most genuine performers ever as well. Gah - so grateful!
Thanks for the video!

I know that Hanyu is considered the "greatest" male skater of all time by many, but for my money, give me Daisuke doing nothing more than stroking across the ice, and I am entranced.

"My feet stopped moving. Not having enough training time may have been the reason," he said.
Having held the lead after Sunday's short program, the 32-year-old Takahashi scored a total of 195.82 points for a third-place finish in the 10-man field at Amagasaki Sports Forest in Hyogo Prefecture.
He also booked a berth for next month's western Japan championship, which doubles as a qualifier for the national championships in December.
"I have been spending quality time (since announcing my competitive return). I want to do more including the quad (jumps)," Takahashi said.

Ooooh this is a lovely quad

Ooooh this is a lovely quad

Probably one of the best 4T he's landed after the 2008 injury.

If he could land that kind of 4T during the free plus solid 3A and triples... all with positive GEO's he could make a difference! Let's pray he stays healthy!
