Once again, gold for Tatsuki Machida. The Japanese began the Grand Prix series with a gold medal (at Skate America, at the middle of October) and finished it with another one (in Moscow, at Rostelecom Cup). With those two trophies won, Machida successfully enters the Grand Prix Final in Fukuoka, alongside other two Japanese skaters: Yuzuru Hanyu and Daisuke Takahashi (recently replaced by another Japanese, the first alternate for the Final, Nobunari Oda; Daisuke Takahashi injured his right leg in practice). The British Eurosport commentator praised Machida for his artistry and power, adding, in a laugh, that “the Japanese are running away with the men’s figure skating”. He’s surely right – and I’m glad he is. The Japanese skaters are to die for – and I’m glad they’ve proved anyone still doubting they have an incredible artistry. Hats off to all of them; they’re extremely talented and their Nationals, at the end of December, will be a World-class event. insideskating.net/2013/11/29/events/rostelecom-cup-the-girl-with-the-butterflies
