Earning a honor in their first mature planets is amazing, considering all the buzz of the other groups. And it was Japan's first couples honor ever. They tell me of Meno and Sand: delicate, but awesome to look at, when they produce. Plus, Narumi's movement were relaxing. There's a flame in her that lastly came out. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.discountskatewear.com/" rel="nofollow">Iice skates figure</a><br /><a href="http://rollerskates.discountskatewear.com/" rel="nofollow">Outdoor quad skates</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15259792487942817470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-72260366254211836132012-04-27T22:25:48.846-07:002012-04-27T22:25:48.846-07:00Good recap!

And yes Patrick Chan. What a joke. He has gorgeous flow and edges on a good day, but he only won in Nice because he landed two quads. -.- His artistic quality was clearly inferior to Takahashi's during this even. It's unfathomable how high Chan's PCs scores were higher than Takahashi's in WTT.<br />The dark horse of the event, who really surprised me, was Yuzuru Hanyu. His Romeo and Juliet skate was simply breathtaking. The program wasn't flawless but there was just something so captivating about it...<br />I look forward to your commentary on the 2012-2013 season!Lapplehttp://www.formspring.me/lovelieapplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-16328640516785120682012-04-23T03:42:50.737-07:002012-04-23T03:42:50.737-07:00Same opinion here towards interesting videos, alwa...Same opinion here towards interesting videos, always looking for for such kind of post, about <a href="http://www.discountskatewear.com/" rel="nofollow"> ice skates figure </a> video, form your this i attain good tips..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15259792487942817470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-72433406410966340592012-04-20T05:12:59.382-07:002012-04-20T05:12:59.382-07:00Fantastic blog covering with valuable information,...Fantastic blog covering with valuable information, I really like video, person who want to learn skates they can enjoy with these video..<br /><br /><a href="http://figureskates.discountskatewear.com/" rel="nofollow"> ice skates figure </a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15259792487942817470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-86164079792718479562012-04-18T09:30:20.733-07:002012-04-18T09:30:20.733-07:00This was by far one of the most boring World Champ...This was by far one of the most boring World Championships I've seen.

She ...Did Trixi Schuba have better edges than Chan? She certainly did better figures...<br /><br />I don't see Fernandez challenging Chan for the top of the podium anytime soon. His skating skills just aren't that good, and he has work to do on the spins. He does have a fabulous 4S, but quite a few of his elements lack polish. I'm saying this as someone who likes Fernandez and has for years - but really, the same criticisms that you've mentioned re the other Europeans certainly apply in his case. Hanyu, I think, is the real deal, and he has the JSF to push him.<br /><br />Marina and Igor do need to lay off the romantic stuff for D/W. That's not their strength.<br /><br />Why did Carolina Kostner get lower PCS than Patrick Chan? Her programs were better and certainly her skating skills cannot be faulted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-27891879952396790252012-04-07T22:22:55.202-07:002012-04-07T22:22:55.202-07:00did you take your coach's advice and watch wea...did you take your coach's advice and watch weaver/poje's fd w/o music? just wondering bc i, someone who knows nothing about ice dance, was really struck by the dance... i think in part b/c the music was just awesome. is it still great without it, do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-24048324846620393882012-04-07T21:59:31.724-07:002012-04-07T21:59:31.724-07:00Thanks so much for coming back to the blog and wri...Thanks so much for coming back to the blog and writing this - it is much appreciated!<br /><br />That is a very interesting observation about how changing the scoring system may be effecting the popularity of figure skating.<br /><br />My favorite moment of the event was when Takahashi and Tran won the bronze and seeing her reaction in the kiss and cry.

Garnering a medal in their first senior worlds is impressive, considering all the hype of the other teams. And it was Japan's first pairs medal ever. They remind me of Meno and Sand: fragile, but nice to look at, when they deliver. Plus, Narumi's expressions were refreshing.
