SHORT-DANCE
Andrew Poje & ndash; & Ldquo; The Paso Doble & egrave; undoubtedly a ballet, but our approach & egrave; aiming to rejuvenate the classic nature of the dance, respecting its authenticity & agrave; and trying to present something new that the public can find exciting & rdquo;
Penny COOMES & ndash; & Ldquo; Nick and I spent a lot of time working with a Flamenco dancer and we realized that this dance was different from how we expected. It is a different style compared to normal & agrave ;. In our Paso Doble-we like to express the passion typical of dance, highlighting the & ldquo; fire & rdquo; according to the public & rdquo ;.
Kirill KHALIAVIN & ndash; & Ldquo; We were thrilled to perform in Japan, and tomorrow we will try to show that our non-free dance & egrave; less than the Short Dance. We worked a lot after Skate Canada on the steps and on other elements, so we want to skate without making mistakes and creating a good performance & rdquo ;:
FREE MAP COPPIEAI ARTISTIC Eric RADFORD - & ldquo; This day & egrave; was pi & ugrave; difficult than yesterday. We expected much more of & ugrave; by ourselves. We would have liked to land without falling quadruple salchow and we paid more errors during the free program. In any case, we fought with all our might to get a good performance. If we want to win in Barcelona we know we need to do something more & ugrave; & rdquo ;.
Alexander SMIRNOV & ndash; & Ldquo; Let's mixed feelings. On the one hand we are pleased to have reached the final, but from & rsquo; else we are sorry for having messed on the technical front. In any case, we are happy for scoring our free program that we love so much in front of the Japanese fans & rdquo;
Xiaoyu YU & ndash; & Ldquo; Today, finally, we had fun to skate. Now go home and try to improve our programs ahead of the final & rdquo ;.
FREE MAP FEMALE
Gracie GOLD & ndash; & Ldquo; I'm obviously very happy to have won my first stage of Grand Prix and my first international competition of high level, but I know I can do even more & ugrave; and I intend to improve my performance. Of course this competition is a & rsquo; confidence boost. In my career I have collected many third places and & egrave; nice to finally have filed a victory & rdquo ;.
Alena LEONOVA & ndash; & Ldquo; I did not understand why he fouled almost all landings, but I am happy for the second place in the race. My free program needs further work and of course I do not feel satisfied as fact. I have to express myself on higher levels & rdquo ;.
Satoko MIYAHARA & ndash; & Ldquo; There are plenty of regrets about today's performance. I wanted to skate with no errors, but not & egrave; happened. I can console myself with the second podium in the Grand Prix and came to be in the top three in both stages played & rdquo ;.
FREE MAP MALE
Daisuke MURAKAMI & ndash; & Ldquo; I never thought he could win. ... And to think that two years ago I was forced to retire because of a dislocated shoulder. In the free program was not too sure of what was happening. When I landed the first quadruple salchow and then the second, I started to feel like I happen during the & rsquo; training and I realized that things were going well & rdquo ;.
Sergei Voronov & ndash; & Ldquo; To compete in the NHK Trophy & egrave; always complicated since the level & egrave; high because of the presence of three Japanese guys. & Nbsp; The race & egrave; was among the pi & ugrave; exciting ever and for me it & egrave; ended happily. I can only be happy to have reached twenty-seven years, the final for the first time & rdquo;
Takahito WALLS & ndash; & Ldquo; Having won the short program, I & egrave; touched skate last and I never imagined getting to feel a tension like today. I was very nervous and that is why I made several errors in my program. This means that I'm missing something in terms of approach to race and perci & ograve; & Egrave; Clearly, from this point of view will have & ograve; improve & rdquo ;.
Yuzuru Hanyu - "Someone penser & agrave; that my performances have been conditioned by physical problems, but, obviously, this & egrave; my current level. I will try & ograve; to treasure of 'experience gained from Cup of China and NHK Trophy. I lost the race for several reasons, but the important fact & egrave; was to understand some of my weaknesses. Beyond the & agrave; the result, I remain convinced that they have made the right choice by competing. Surely I paid the lack of training, but my & egrave; was mainly a problem of approach to the race. On this front, I noticed that you have gaps which will have & ograve; necessarily work. Now I will try & ograve; to prepare the best to be competitive in the final of the Grand Prix. It certainly will have & ograve; improve elements jump perch & egrave ; today I lost so many points because of mistakes.
