Amaizing!

weird transitions and no explosiveness. It looks more like for show than the real thing. I think the landing there hurt his score. YXC is definitely better

This guy has flawless basics, power, balance, but the style and continuity is a little weird. I bet he has to work twice as hard due to the history.  I would love to see his compulsory.

[wooshoo]

i'm really not a fan of YXC's style, but you also have to factor in that he did a 720 pretty much perfectly. that wins him a lot for his overall performance score.

You probably can't have a judge from your own country, so every competitor gets a super strict Chinese judge, and YXC gets every other less experienced judge.

I think that is a fair assessment.

YXC's power is of a superb standard especially in his housaotui which is world class.

Yo Mike,

Looking it over it would have been very close between them if the split landing would've been correct. He also got deducted by B judges on that, which means without the miss in the split landing he would have had 9.78 pts, and that's pretty close to YXC's 9.83...

Also I feel YXC have loads more explosiveness and power in his movements compared with most of the others I've seen lately, both in China and the world.

Hey wake up, they PAY for every medal, japan's budge is not enough that's all.

[galgowushu]

why wasn't this first, second or third place?

The Russian competitor realised all positions mabu with the toes towards outside,even though that its routine I liked much, I believe that this had to be second

Having read all of this and gone back to look at YXC's performance, I just find Daisuke's form to be more imaginative. YXC's transitions and runs are rather boring. No doubt the guy is a badass when it comes to getting his height and rotations down, but altogether the performance was tasteless. I applaud Daisuke for uses more of the martial in the art.
