I cannot help, just for fun - so lovely to see in Japan only single skaters.

Ostile17, thank you very much!
It must be very hard on the family to go on on the one hand. However, on the other hand there might also be relieve (as Mao said) that it's over for her mother and finally also for them to fear everytime they go somewhere that when they come back the mother might have died - quite tedious, I think.

Lovely to read Dai-chan's honest words, since it is surely difficult to see Mao for the first time after all what happened. I'd say: Let your intuition/your heart speak! :-)

Lil, I had to laugh when I read your comment about your worry that the board could collapse :-))) (not in a bad way!) You are sweet :-)) Dai-chan is surely not heavy and those boards should hold something like his weight. Remember, when P. Chan jumped into the boards? Nothing happened. They are quite strong it seems ... :-) And Dai-chan didn't even think about that, he seemed to be only enjoying himself :-)))

And Lil, thank you for the link to the interview!!! Sweet indeed, the way he looks, reacts, waits ... :-)))

Cheers
Gudrun.

Oh, this is the wrong thread!! Sorry :-((( :-)))

Hello hsuhs

Thank you very much for listing the times!! Unfortunately, the men's short programme is at a time when I have to work. But I could follow the results (thank you for the link to that page!!) at least.

KeyHole TV isn't good quality but definetely better than nothing :-))) I remember the last time when we couldn't watch live. It was like a martyrdom to me ...

Dai-chan, give your best!!! And please: ENJOY!! :-)

Gudrun.

Hi Gudrun

Oh you're welcome.

I'm not sure there will be live results on that page I linked. But there must be a twitter that does post those. Or some site. I don't have the url anymore it seems.

Oda is out due to knee injury.
It would be very painful decison for him.....um...


Anyway,
It's almost time for national championships.

Daisuke, you performed great at GPF, but you can still do better~
Trust yourself, you are the best~!

Poor Oda, I feel so sorry for him, I like him a lot.

Anyway.....

GO DAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

Hi there

Oda cannot compete? That would be really sad for thim. He hasn't been too fortunate lately, right? I wish him and his sweet little family all the best!!

Gudrun.

Hello hsuhs :-))

Thank you very much anyway :-))) Let's see what the coverage will be like :-) Only a couple more days and then it'll start again :-) Looking forward to it :-)

Cheers
Gudrun.

"Japanskate" will follow the competition on twitter!! And it's already started!! (official practice.)

Go Dai-chan!!

Good morning / day miyu

Thank you very much for the link :-)))))))))

Gambatte ne, Dai-chan :-))))))))))

miyu, thank you for the link!

Here's news on Daisuke's practice (incl a pic)

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20111222-00000026-jijp-spo.view-000

If I get the google translation right, Daisuke's been landing his quad on 2 feet, and considers to avoid the jump in his SP?

Another practice photo:

Practice video, at last

Hello hsuhs

Thank you very much for the link to the texts and the photos. I love both photos!!

Go for it Dai-chan :-))))

Cheers
Gudrun.

Oh, I didn't see the link to the video - just great!!! Thank you sooo much :-)))

Part 2 of the video (a fluff kind of explaining who's Daisuke Takahashi ):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-wFX7RlEDI

Lovely hsuhs!!

It's interesting to see how different Dai-chan looks again and again, different hair style, different kind of beard/mustache ... but almost always with a lovely smile :-)))

Cheers
Gudrun.

Nobody around?

Hello ostile17

It's a pretty bad time for us in Europe, since we have to work at this time of hour :-( It's only 10 o'clock in the morning ...

But don't let this stop you from writing commentaries, if you have any news. I'll sneak in from time to time :-)))

Cheers
Gudrun.

Hi guys,

I just went through japanskates twitter, and saw they what they reported 4 hrs ago:

Daisuke TAKAHASHII{4T-3T(!!!), 3A, FSSp, 3Lz, CCSp, SlSt, CCoSp

Way to go, Daisuke!

Hi guys.
I'm sorry, I'm too busy to find and post updates.

Here is pbp report from Sportsnavi. But it's all Japanese.
http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/channel/live/show/winter/584
