SHORT PROGRAM PAIRS OF ARTISTIC
Eric RADFORD & ndash; & Ldquo; Today we skated as a rule we happen to skate in training. This & egrave; the performance that we would like to keep in any competition. We are so thrilled that we do not see the & rsquo; now to compete in the free program. A Skate Canada our short was fine, but today we went even better. Eventually, we reached the same score of Skate Canada. We say that we can & ograve; still stand & rdquo ;:
Alexander SMIRNOV & ndash; & Ldquo; We are very pleased with the performance today. It & rsquo; was great to skate for the Japanese public, and I think that judging the warm welcome they received, they were happy to see each other on the ice. Tomorrow we want to express ourselves on even higher levels so as to make our fans happy & rdquo ;.
Xiaoyu YU - "We have tried to address the short program so pi & ugrave; relaxed as possible. Unfortunately, for & ograve ;, I made a small mistake on Rittberger launched and l & Igrave; I was reminded the misadventures of the Cup of China, which in some I was not making me so conditioned to express the levels expected. Tomorrow I hope to be more & ugrave; relaxed & rdquo ;.
PROGRAM SHORT FEMALE
Gracie GOLD & ndash; & Ldquo; Today I can say I have skated a good short program. C & rsquo; & egrave; was a big improvement over Skate America and other races this season. I am happy not only for the technical elements, but also for the artistic side. At Skate America had committed several mistakes and in recent weeks I have been working hard to solve & rdquo ;.
Alena LEONOVA & ndash; & Ldquo; I am very pleased as I was able to do because & eacute; I wanted to get the & rsquo; appreciation of the public and judges. I am very happy for the quality & agrave; of my jumps and to have improved my personal best. Tomorrow, in the free program will try & ograve; to express myself to the maximum potential & rdquo ;.
Kanako Murakami & ndash; & Ldquo; In the short program today I did not commit big mistakes and perci & ograve; I am satisfied for my performance. I feel for & ograve; to express myself on more levels & ugrave; high. & Ograve will work; hard in the next race with l & rsquo; aim to improve my short program & rdquo ;.
PROGRAM SHORT MEN
Takahiko WALLS & ndash; & Ldquo; After Skate Canada I was pretty nervous because & eacute; I did not know if the rest of the season and especially the first race would be of the same level. Not surprisingly, during the warm-up I was really tense. At that point I really tried to relax. In truth & agrave; after the jumps I relaxed a bit & rsquo; too, and I made some mistakes on the tops. Tomorrow I want to do better and I hope to get on the podium & rdquo ;.
Jeremy ABBOTT & ndash; & Ldquo; I am very happy for today's performance. I love this program and I like pattinarlo because I feel like a part of me. Tomorrow, l & rsquo; objective & egrave; to find a solid performance and try to stay at least in second place & rdquo ;.
Daisuke MURAKAMI & ndash; & Ldquo; I am very pleased to have finished the race in third position. I never get such a result. Their opponents are more & ugrave; quiet perch & eacute; are not fighting for the qualification to the final. Do not aspire to the podium, but to reach the score pi & ugrave; high as possible so that you can get two stages of Grand Prix next season & rdquo ;.
Yuzuru Hanyu & ndash; & Ldquo; I was tense during the warm-up, but as soon & egrave; the music started I felt contract. I feel let down by the result because & eacute; I'm sure that I could express myself well on other levels. Obviously I want to reach the final, which I have never hidden, but first I want to win the NHK Trophy. Let me sleep & agrave; regain your strength and forget the short program today. As for the physical condition, can not say I did not feel any pain, but I have almost completely recovered. During the competition, I have not tried any physical discomfort & rdquo;
