Yay! The world championships are finally happening, and what better way than to kick things off with a very high level of competition in the Men's QR.
Takahiko Kozuka easily won the segment with a whopping 165.00, and will likely score higher PCS in the actual LP. He skated with ease throughout the program, and only made one mistake - a hand down on an under-rotated quad. I get lost in his footwork, and actually think his basic skating skills and fluidity are better than Chan's. Unfortunately, the judges don't see this (yet) so he is stuck with being Japan's No.3.

Very good point about Kozuka vs. Chan when it comes to SS. It unfortunately shows how political the sport can be when it comes to scoring, alas.
