"Kozuka accidentally clattered into Takahashi and sent him crashing to the ice during practice on Thursday and was on the verge of tears during Saturday's press conference, blaming himself for what he believed had damaged Takahashi's bid for glory."

I know, right? God the poor guy is just beating himself up so bad! D:

Yeah :( I'm so afraid this will ruin his confidence for a long time ;___;

howell_jolly December 12 2010, 20:40:39 UTC

Oh god I hope not. He already gets fucked by everybody and their mother and if this screws up the rest of his season he's gonna be in deeper shit. ;___;

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

How do you mean? I know the answer will probably depress me lol but omg what did I miss

howell_jolly December 12 2010, 21:15:24 UTC

I'M JUST TALKING PCS-WISE. HIS PCS IS STUPIDLY LOW, AND I'M AFRAID HE MAY LOSE SOME SUPPORT BECAUSE OF THIS. IT'S PROLLY IRRATIONAL BUT... :-/

phoenixwish December 12 2010, 21:27:36 UTC

NOTHING IS IRRATIONAL WHEN IT COMES TO ISU JUDGES, I'M AFRAID :(

I think what howell_jolly meant was that Taka is already underrated by the judges by being the third-ranked Japanese man--if he doesn't establish himself more as a top-rated skater, he'll likely be passed by hungrier younger Japanese men like Yuzuru Hanyu.

Ranking and reputation is everything when it comes to skating :(

howell_jolly December 12 2010, 21:25:52 UTC

You say it so much better than I~ thank you bb. \o/

phoenixwish December 12 2010, 21:34:00 UTC

Oh yeah :( It's so unfair, he's a good skater but he's always in the shadow of Daisuke and Oda. Not that I don't love them too, Taka is just my favourite and it's not fair he should lose out because he happens to be third-ranked in a really good generation of Japanese skaters.

And I was so hopeful for him this season, what with the doya-gao and everything, and now that collision might have ruined it :(

howell_jolly December 12 2010, 21:37:33 UTC

All three of the Japanese men are insanely talented. It's crazy just how good they all are.

ikr omg

Reminds me of poor Sasha Abt, always overshadowed by Plushy and Yags. >_< I feel so bad for the third-ranked skaters...

Taka's been doing so well this season. ILHSFM but I have a slight bias towards Daisuke because he might be retiring soon. :(

TAKA IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT YOUR BF DOESN'T BLAME YOU

My heart is dying seriously ;__;

I think Taka would actually be one of those guys who wouldn't give his all or be so wrought with guilt that he couldn't/wouldn't perform well in the competition. I was so afraid he'd just eat it because of nerves and guilt, but I'm glad that he really fought during his LP.

It warms my heart though. Taka is such a beautiful person :)
