Thank you, sunnygirl and fruitiers. So nice of Yu-Na to mention Stephane.
And thank you for the videos, fruitiers.

fruitiers, I knew Yu-Na mentioned before that Stephane was one of her favorite skaters, but I had never seen her talk about Stephane in a video, so this was nice to see. And I didn't know she had said that Poeta was one of her favorite programs of that season. Thanks for the info.  nike2010, yes, now that I see the video, for the Four Seasons, it was the triple salchow... Hmmm, hard writing from memory...  Stephane seems to be getting in competition shape just fine, doesn't he... And thanks everybody for all the video links. Stephane is having so much fun, it's wonderful to watch. He seems to be such a delightful person. He makes me happy in so many ways. I really hope that a final video version comes out for this IAS... There is a rumor that it will, but nothing definite yet.

I had never seen her talk about Stephane in a video, so this was nice to see. Me too. That's why I captured the shot  . nike2010, my competitive spirit woke up, too. I'm so thrilled whenever I imagine watching him on the ice for compet again. As you said, the fact that 4 seasons from IAS wasn't a shorten version but a complete one (even with supplementary 30 seconds  ) with 6 jump pass made me realized once again that he is really coming back! In general, I'm very nervous whenever he goes for jump even in the show. That's because I want him to make a clean performance, but this time, it was also related to my spirit of competitive skating fan. I just can't imagine how I would survive while seeing him perform in Olympics. By the way, I suppose you mixed up triple salcow with triple lutz or other jump (or it's me being confused?)  He landed clean triple salcow several times in Tainted Love. IIRC, he'd landed 3 salcows successfully in all (or almost all) competition during the latest several years including world championships last year. (or maybe you meant 2008 worlds? If so, sorry for my words) Actually, I'm wondering why he has struggled with triple axel while he is really good at edge jumps like salcow and loop   . About the jump and injury problem, I happened to hear that loop jump lies a bunden upon hip part of the body. Salcow jump does the same ?   I don't have any idea about technique. But as for the loop jump, one question came to my mind while watching his 4 seasons from IAS. That is he doesn't use anymore the spring technique for the entrance of triple loop. I know that he can do both techniques for the loop entrance, but since this jump had been introduced by spring technique in 4 seasons.... I noticed the same in Poeta from DOI and Japan Open last year. So I'm curious if it has to do with his injury or not at all? any idea?

Yeah, Stephane can do 3Salchow just fine...like you said, he's done it in Tainted Love. Was it the 3Lutz he tried in 4 Seasons? he hasn't done the Lutz jump since 2008 Worlds, I believe.
As for the loop, I loved his 3-turn "spring" entrance into the jump. Maybe it does have something to do with the injury. If that's the case, then it's probably best he does the loop entrance the other way.

Thank you for the help, namiki  You still have a problem on Youtube , freefall ? I am not sure that re-install of Adobe Flash player 9 ( not Real Player ) will help to fix your problem , but if you have nothing to fix , it is better than nothing . Thanks a lot for the advice, but I've tried it already - unfortunately it doesn't help. I am beginning to plan to reinstall the whole OS |
