Tatsuya TSUBOI (JPN) | Men Short Program | ISU World Championships | Boston 2025 | #FigureSkating

He represents Japan. Let's welcome Tatsuya Tsuboi. So, two to go in this group number four. On the ice now, debuting at the World Championships, he was great in the Four Continents, finished in fifth place there. What now for 22-year-old Tatsuya Tsuboi from Japan? All wrong going into the quad salchow, just a double. We really are being treated to some performances of real character. It's awful when you go out there and the first jump pass doesn't work for you, particularly like that. If you make your solo jump a double jump, you don't get anything for it. So, it's an absolute killer. It's a real shame for him. But he did fight back and the rest of the program was very, very good indeed. Tatsuya Tsuboi from Japan. Yeah, unfortunately had a little bit of foreshadowing this morning in the practice, tried many quad salchows unsuccessfully. And so, must be trouble with timing today or not able to get over top of it. But regardless of that, he finished the program strong and tried to squeeze every point out of all of his other elements. Here it is. Let's take a look. Looks a little bit quick on the takeoff. Not enough patience getting all the way through and off the toe pick. Here, the triple axel. Nicely done in the system with a positive grade of execution. And there's a difficult fly. That's a feature on the camel spin. As well as this. And that's a blade feature. We haven't talked about that. That's a new feature this year that the ISU has added. We've seen a few skaters do it today. That spin was in at a level four. So, obviously, the first mistake is very, very costly indeed. He's been up in the mid-80s this season. 85 he got. Not going to get that here. It's 73 and sixth place it is for him.
