Great Jumps, horrible spins. Entire performance felt like he was just ticking elements off a list. Should have just gone out and done the elements one-by-one for the judges, instead.
He really has been missed over the past year of competition. When you look at this program, and the new short program he debuted just before his injury in 2008, it's clear that Daisuke has gone beyond the straightforward athleticism that is so much the focus of skating today, and entered into a realm of artistry that incorporates a dance sensibility found with almost no other male (or female, for that matter) on the ice today. I do hope he makes a full recovery and returns to form later in 2009.
I sooo missed him at this year's 4CC. He would've been the only one to beat Patrick in both technical & presentation marks, preventing a skater with totally juniorish jumping elements from winning an ISU championships.
There's such excitement to his skating...I miss him this season! Especially since we already lost Jeff and Stéphane...Hope he recovers fully for next season!
WORLD RECORD!!!!!

Felt like he was skating to background music.

the champ has to have QUADs.
it's a sport so players have to AIM HIGHER and BREAK THEIR LIMITS.
They have to keep challenging.
Judging system have to support athletes' challenges.
