Takahashi-senshu and Machida-senshu started the practice. He looks psyched up.

I thought it's time to start.  

Please, keep reporting if you hear something more about Dai's (and others) practices!  


(I'm going to have some sleep in which I will keep harassing angels to help Dai   )

ilica, thanks for info on today's Short.

miyu, thank you for Dai's pic.  My day is brighter now    

Hope to find many friends later here, to share emotions.


GANBARE DAI-CHAN!! You can do it, so DO IT!!       

Asahi shinbun report:

Takahashi-senshu, his 3A were a little unstable. 4T also weren’t successful. But both of them were getting better. There was a fully-rotated 4T, though he landed it on his butt. I’m concerned with the lack of speed into jumps. Did he do so intentionally due to the injury? (後)


OK, Ok! He will do when he has to!!!

Something to dream about, while waiting.... That heart-shaped mouth and those deep eyes     
Daisuke is killing me softly....

Kenji-sensei said "The scandal don't affect him at all. Because it's Takahashi-senshu. I think it's the world's no.1 program."


GANBARE DAI-CHAN!! You can do it, so DO IT!!     

OMG, miyu...so much Dai-stuff !!! But I never get tired of him   

Happy to watch well executed jumps, because other news I get on web reported a not good practice...

YESSSSSSSS!!    Kenji, you and Dai-chan created a masterpiece, a perfect combination of technique and emotion.


GANBARE DAI-CHAN!! You can do it, so DO IT!!         

Ganbare!!! DAISUKE!! GO!! GO!! DAISUKE!! 

Hello everyone. The time is here for Dai's final dance. It seems like only yesterday when
Dai dazzled us with his performances in Vancouver.

Thanks to all for the Dai-info.

In my area they will broadcast live starting at 10:00 a.m. We will have a very
long wait for the "King". I am thinking Dai will skate at around 2:30 p.m. Eastern time.

I took today and tomorrow off from work so that I can watch.


GO Dai-chan. You can do it!!!!!     

Sheesh the arena looks empty.  

Hi Shyla!

Hi miyu. Maybe more fans will come as the competition moves along. I hope to see our
Rascals on the TV screen cheering for Dai.

OMG............    



Shyla, did you see this?

Wow! So beautiful!!!   
Go Rascals!

Go Dai-chan!!!

Hi guys!! Really sorry for Plu. The look of pain on his face on Landing 3A in warm-up   :n


Wish the best to Jeremy Abbott. "Lily of the Valley" is a good program

OMG Jeremy    

How he fighted....great reaction!!! Omedetou!!

It was so scary........   Great fight from Jeremy.

God, please protect Dai-chan.  

First Plushy then Jeremy. Terrible fall but good comeback from Jeremy. But I am afraid with that score he is out of medal contention.
The audience was great, cheering him on.

Praying for Daisuke.

Poor Jeremy   


Guys, I have to share with you the amazing dream I had tonight. Dai just won Olympics in my dream!   
He was skating at my junior school football field   (but there was no question this was Olympics) wearing something like a hockey jersey   . He skipped a jump - 3Lo?, so I was sure it's over, but then, at the end he added some amazing jump, everyone screamed "quad", but the entrance looked like the Axel entrance - so it seems like he did a Quad Axel!    And he won!
I run to my family screaming "Daisuke is The Olympic Champion!!!", but they didn't care  


I also would like to share with you my todays joy - my hometown (almost) girl, Justyna Kowalczyk just won cross-country 10km classic with a broken foot!    
She has a fracture in her left foot, and had to have her toenails taken out   brrr...
And she run like this.
I told myself yesterday, if Justyna can do it so will Dai.

GANBARE DAI-CHAN! You can do it, so DO IT!!!    

ilica, your dream is funny! Quad Axel!

ilica, omedetou to Justyna Kowalczyk!! Great fighter!! Like someone we love   

Thank you for sharing your dream!! May be this good luck to Dai-chan!!



GANBARE DAI-CHAN!! You can do it, so DO IT!!     

Thanks miyu and Pattina!

I didn't see what happened to Plushy, I thought he had WD before the event, but he injured himself during warmup?   


God, please be with Daisuke!
