Japanese national championships - Saitama - 22-26 Dec. 2021

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Japanese national championships - Saitama - 22-26 Dec. 2021

Post by Elizabeth »

There is no live stream available of this event and apparently the results in English will only be available after the event.

Some skaters/teams are not there and some are there but without coaches - this is a result of illness, injuries, and/or travel restrictions. The pairs team that trains in Canada with Bruno Marcotte, Miura/Kihara, will not be present but they have been given a "bye" by the Japanese Federation.

Available in English only after the competition, I believe: https://www.jsfresults.com/non_responsi ... /index.htm

According to the protocols at https://www.jsfresults.com/National/202 ... ta0105.pdf Yuzuru Hanyu did the 4A as his first jump and stood up (i.e. didn't fall) but it was downgraded, earning him less that 1/2 the base value of a 3A.
