NHK Sunday Sports Aug 9 2009

Hi everyone!!
NHK broadcasted a very nice report on Dai-chan last night. I love NHK!!!

Here is the video link.

Sorry I don't have time to translate and someone might be working hard on this right now.
So I leave brief comments on this.

2:23
Left: Dai-chan's MRI scan just after he injured.
Right: MRI scan of a normal knee.
Almost none of his ACL can be seen in this scan.
And the person in a white coat is his knee doctor.

5:08
A shot back in April.
I loooove this backward skating!! So beautiful!

9:00
Comparison of spins between now and last year(before injury).
The current one is 4 senconds longer and more difficult than last year's.
Hey, now he is one of the great spinners!! (At least I think so! )





PS. Thank you so much, champs!!

Yes, here is someone

*Added on 8/11/2009* Search function does not work on previous video, so I re-uploaded another video. This is not annotation version but embedded subtitles version. Letter size is bigger.

Only for Daisuke portion. I could not cover Takeshi Honda's comment due to YouTube video length limitation.

Sorry for taking time... I moved out from Tokyo recently and lost broadband I used E-mobile to edit subtitles on YouTube

Thank you so much miyu and Roko!

I can't wait to see Daisuke performing this program! Great steps, great spin...

Thank you, miyu and Roko!

Thank you so much to miyu for summary and Roko for subs!!! I love NHK too!!

Roko, you subbed it without broadband - well done!!! Thank you for all your work (not just this time)!

When Camerlengo said "He's back!", I was grinning with excitement. It's so true, he really looks like a different and even better skater. So much more movement in his upper body. It's really wonderful to see him.

Thank you, Roko!

That's too bad... I hope you can have adequate internet band soon.

Thank you for the translation, miyu and Roko!!

I can't wait to see Daisuke's performance for FOI. This show will be on air at NITTELE PLUS channel as Japanese TV program on September, 2009. Maybe you can see Daisuke's new performance before the competitons!!

Great work!! Oh, sorry to hear that. I recommend an optical fiber communications if you can set them up at your house.

Great work, miyu and Roko!
