The fact that there will be 4 different generations of Team Japan skaters at Worlds… the young blood (Yuma, Mana, Kao, Riku), the established ones (Shoma, Kaori, Wakaba), the veterans (Kana, Ryuichi) and the holy relic (Daisuke)

Nathan on Yuzuru: I can’t call him a rival. He's a symbol of figure skating. He's always been a step forward in this sport. It's really rare to see a skater who has maintained his level for generations. He hasn’t reached his peak yet. His continued growth is unbelievable.

Wakaba should have received the same +3.54 GOE Kamila usually gets for her 3A, instead she got +1.71. She gets height, distance, speed, and she doesn’t rely on forcing her upper body to rotate. If u can’t reward an effortless 3A like this, what are u doing

Post-Olympic Worlds can be a hot mess indeed but also a place for great redemption skates. Mao and Dai won in 2010, Tatsuki came 0,3 points short of winning in 2014, Yulia medalled, Mao won again, Nathan won in 2018 and Misha medalled, and then WAKABA.

Tatsuki Machida: I actually think Yuzuru’s 4A is very close. If he remains injury free for the next 2 months, I believe he can rotate it at the Olympics. I would also make the base value higher, because there’s not enough merit for it as it is”
