2011 Japanese Nationals - Men's Short

Daisuke Takahashi skated a flawless short program that included a clean quad toe-triple toe combination (the first I ever recall him landing offhand) - he scored 96.05 (50.70 TE 45.35 PCS = 96.05.)



Takahiko Kozuka also skated a clean short and is second with 85.60 (45.30 TE 40.30 PCS = 85.60).

Note: Yuzuru Hanyu was originally in third place, but there was some sort of mistake and he is now in fourth behind Tatsuki Machida (by a small margin, but fourth nonetheless.).
