agree!! her skating doesn’t need a medal, she needs an oscar 😇

Satoko puts attentention and detail to her choreography. I obsess with her flick of fingers or small leg kicks that are on the beat of the music. Everything has meaning and she does it so well.

totally agree, she´s awesome

Satoko perfectly defines the epitome of beauty on ice 😌

i have a feeling they couldn't due to copyright. but in the absence of an alternative that's allowable on youtube, I liked the music OP chose

totally agree with you!! nothing beats the vibe of original music that skaters skate to 😊 and that was my initial plan for all content on my channel as well, but reason being is to avoid music copyright claims on youtube, thanks for understanding

@@SkateInsider yes it's a shame about copyright claim. I watched all your jump compilation videos (those videos do not use original music too) and I still thoroughly enjoyed them all. On the contrary, when I watched this stsq video I felt a bit bored and skipped some of them. It shows how strongly connected a stsq with its music. Nevertheless keep them coming! This off season has been difficult, so little FS contents in youtube : )

what? Anna overscored? How could I believe that? xD

Agree

i just want to floof nathan's hair 🥰 hehehe

Even russian fans r upset w Anna’s GOEs, always overscored w cheating technics.. and poor Liza w perfect 3lutz r away below her

I think the speed has to do with the fact that Anna’s step sequence is at the very beginning of the program where she doesn’t have high speed yet. But if you look at the elements, musicality & beauty overall I think she’s way ahead of Rika

@@anastasiatoday5686 what do you mean at the very beginning of the program? On the contrary, this is her SP and the step sequence is after all of the jumps, near the end of the program. The timing of the stsq doesn’t really matter anyways if a skater has good skating skills. Also beauty is not an element in the scoring of a program. That’s a misconception among casual fans who think Russians have better artistry just because they are pretty. The elements for PCS are skating skills, transition, composition, interpretation of music and performance. Anna has good musicality as you said and I also mentioned in my first comment, and all Eteri girls have complex transitions, so I’ll give it to her too. But the rest she’s not any better than Rika. Rika obviously has better skating skills, and she always has original and fun choreos. Her SP in this video is much better than Anna’s for example. Also Rika’s body movements are usuallu rhymed with the music too if you look at anywhere other than her face. So no, Anna is not way ahead of Rika, not at all.

just curious, is "satton" a nickname for satoko? i ask because i've never heard it before.

@@claiirdelunee yes, It is 😉

totally agree

Her artistry is superb! She may not have the best jumps, but i think her skating skills and expression are definitely on a whole new level. Let us not forget that she was only one step away from earning a spot in the podium during the 2018 winter olympics (which is definitely an incredible feat).

Shame that judges give her less pcs than Med and Zagi several years back and senior debut eteri skaters.

i am grabbing popcorn like a hypocrite while watching Kevin 😝

@@SkateInsider 😂

my asthma flared up the moment i found out Kevin is on top 2, we are so proud of him!!

agreed!

what years were those?

@@justafella_ until sochi olympics, I guess

2 step sequences?? That sounds cool. Who did it best in this pre-Sochi era?

@@strawberrylime33 for me - undoubtebly, Daisuke. also Patrick and Stephane were very cool. but Takahashi did it THAT good, that he really could (thank God hypotetically) fall from all the jumps and his programm would still have been amazing. as examples - his SP 2009-2010 and 2007-2008

@@ElizavetaPolianitskaia god, Daisuke. What a beautiful skater, I miss his StSqs so much

장하다ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ thanks

Great choice kim chanel ! I didn't mention Rika in my comment, but agree. Go Nathan !

Maybe this can help? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8t5hdFluZ-5ZX0.html

siempre queriendo promover al hierro de chen con Yuzu, cuando se nota de manera abismal la.diferencia de stsq y en sí, de todos los componentes del programa en ambos

Chen baila, danza,, versátil , todos los estilos, programas nuevos cada año, alegres, ,melancólicos, maravillosos!!!!!

But all step sequences bless my eyes...

@@SkateInsider thank you for the respond🙇🏻‍♀️

Why would they bother if she is having (underserved) high scores?

@@fernandamartinezjaimez9648 ikr

@@fernandamartinezjaimez9648 the same goes for jumps...

the channel owner explained that they did not use the original music from the skaters' programs since they wanted to avoid music copyright claims.

skaters should do twizzles on a flat edge 😶

@@lisal-tg2zk LMAO

@@lisal-tg2zk there are 4 twiz entries and flatedge is not one of them

@@shawnwoodward4522 yes, I know that the edges on the entry are different, but the turns are performed on a flat edge. okay maybe I misunderstood your comment 🤷‍♀️

that's interesting. i'm a "twizzle-maniac" as well.

Please read

@@wh0a12 actually his asthma attack was in the FS

@@wh0a12 I know right? I know that it fits the theme but it looks so uncomfortable. Maybe it's not a real leather pants and it's just other type of material that can stretch and look like leather.

it’s also just the way his stsq is choreographed tbh 🤔 defo not the biggest fan of LMEY, couldn’t quite understand the hype around it. a new classical program wouldn’t have been a problem at all even if people were gonna give him crap about not switching genres. LGC was 100% better. i’m glad he’s getting a new one next season- i know everyone says LMEY is an olympic program, but eh idts

^not to mention the music is just,,,, how do i put it? it’s not satisfying. it’s not full. it’s not like PW where the melody takes us through each verse, each pre-chorus, each climax. it just feels steady throughout with the only peak towards the end. props to him for being able to make it fun and interesting, he rlly sells it with the facial expressions, the charisma, the musicality. i can say for sure if anyone else were to do it they’d defo mess it up

@@kiyoomisakusa8214 mostly bc of his interpretation and bc he is Yuzuru just him can sell that program

The placement was based on the scores that they received from the judges. Nathan and Yuzuru both scored the same GOE for these step sequences, and they were the highest.

since you mentioned it, i went back and watched the "overrated" one. i still failed to see the "simplicity and shallow edges" you pointed out.

Simplicity and shallow edges? Disagree big time. It's as if you're watching a completely different skater from what the judges and I are watching. Jason's had some creative elements behind it, but, it doesn't seem to me like all the different elements have a direction or that everything is seamlessly connected. I get the sense that it's a lot of random stuff just all meshed together? A bit chaotic, IMO. I enjoyed his usage of edges though.

i did not like it, but i don't think your assumption is correct. i realize that sometimes having difficult jumps can positively influence pcs scoring; however, it has nothing to do with stsq scoring. stsq has its own criteria for judging.

OR maybe his step sequence is actually really amazing because his footwork has some complicated sequences and turns, great speed, wonderful edges, nice flow, and is done cleanly and effortlessly? Sorry that you did not see what myself or the judges saw. As much as you want to assume it's because of his wonderful quads, it's not. Nathan's step sequences, especially in his SPs, have always been _amazing._ Now Yuzuru's...that was very meh and maybe even over-scored. His entire program was meh, if I'm being honest. There have been more inspiring SPs from him.

@@divinearia1601 no yuzuru has some brilliant interpretation. But I assume that's not related to Step sequence. That would be pcs. Although the judges tend to inflate both depending on quads which is actually wrong.

What a wonderful step sequence Nathan has ! Just love it ! 🔥

@@noran7809 I suppose he has good edge control. Just needs to work on his pcs for the viewers to enjoy his interpretation.
