Satoko puts attentention and detail to her choreography. I obsess with her flick of fingers or small leg kicks that are on the beat of the music. Everything has meaning and she does it so well.
Watching Anna right after Rika made it more obvious how much she lacks in skating skills. She is a very emotive skater and has some pretty lines but her movement on ice is very slow compared to the rest of the list. And without the music, which I think is one of her stronger points, it looks more dull than it actually is. This also made me realize how much better Nathan’s skating skills are. I never thought I would say this about Nathan because his stiff knees always make me cringe but he’s actually faster and smoother than Anna. They both got higher than what they deserv imo but Nathan’s score is more reasonable tbh.
I think the speed has to do with the fact that Anna’s step sequence is at the very beginning of the program where she doesn’t have high speed yet. But if you look at the elements, musicality & beauty overall I think she’s way ahead of Rika
@@anastasiatoday5686 what do you mean at the very beginning of the program? On the contrary, this is her SP and the step sequence is after all of the jumps, near the end of the program. The timing of the stsq doesn’t really matter anyways if a skater has good skating skills. Also beauty is not an element in the scoring of a program. That’s a misconception among casual fans who think Russians have better artistry just because they are pretty. The elements for PCS are skating skills, transition, composition, interpretation of music and performance. Anna has good musicality as you said and I also mentioned in my first comment, and all Eteri girls have complex transitions, so I’ll give it to her too. But the rest she’s not any better than Rika. Rika obviously has better skating skills, and she always has original and fun choreos. Her SP in this video is much better than Anna’s for example. Also Rika’s body movements are usuallu rhymed with the music too if you look at anywhere other than her face. So no, Anna is not way ahead of Rika, not at all.
I wish that you'd use the original music to each step sequence because stsq without its music is kinda difficult to enjoy and to compare from one to another. One the main aspect of a great stsq is whether if it's choreographed to the music or not. Anyway, I think the top 10 are deserved, except for Anna's position which in my opinion is too high. Her stsq does not belong in the top 3 because she does not have the skating skills and deep edges to carry through a great stsq.
totally agree with you!! nothing beats the vibe of original music that skaters skate to 😊 and that was my initial plan for all content on my channel as well, but reason being is to avoid music copyright claims on youtube, thanks for understanding
@@SkateInsider yes it's a shame about copyright claim. I watched all your jump compilation videos (those videos do not use original music too) and I still thoroughly enjoyed them all. On the contrary, when I watched this stsq video I felt a bit bored and skipped some of them. It shows how strongly connected a stsq with its music. Nevertheless keep them coming! This off season has been difficult, so little FS contents in youtube : )
The moment you had covered #2, we were momentarily puzzled: was it that Chen or Yuzuru wasn't on a list, or they miraculously landed in tie for the first place. Haha, should've known better 💖💖 Thank you for your videos. Kihira's, Brown's and Sakamoto's gliding tho, sooo smooth, building velocity so easily
I never understood the hype around Satton but now that I watch her again I think she may have the best skating skills out of all the ladies and possibly men.
Her artistry is superb! She may not have the best jumps, but i think her skating skills and expression are definitely on a whole new level. Let us not forget that she was only one step away from earning a spot in the podium during the 2018 winter olympics (which is definitely an incredible feat).
I loved Kaori's short program this year!! It really suited her this year!😊💖🇯🇵⛸ Kevin is ALWAYS entertaining to watch!👌💖🇨🇵⛸ And of course, Yuzu is the GOAT!!💖🇯🇵⛸👑🐐
Love Nathan's the most. I've always loved his step sequences, especially the ones from his SPs. So good! Look at the way his skates effortlessly _caress_ the ice. There's great flow and control through all the complicated turns, and the steps are seamless and clean with some really wonderful edges. Smooth and even sensual, I get feelings from just watching his feet. The way he moves really matches the style of his music too.
Really good idea to just show step sequences from this past year. Thank you! I wish you could show these step sequences along with the music from each program.
My favourites are Satoko, Kolyada, and Shoma. Beautiful edge and picture perfect from finger to toe. I also like Kaori's footwork. But her upper body sometimes feels a bit too relaxed for me. I know I am picky 😏
I love Anna with all my heart, and my favourite step sequence is not here: it is from her free program, when she did all her jumps and she rush into the step sequnce with all passion, with all drive. Of course, the icon performance - is from Russian Nationals 2020-2021❤ And I love Nathan Chen's step sequnce, but also from his free program. And of course, Yuzury is absolute beyond comparison!
Such a great list! Although tbh, if this were a list of best step sequence of all time, I have to say Mao Asada wins that award. She’s the perfect blend of the old judging system and the newer one. Plus as a former senior level competitive figure skater in the US, I’ve tried to do her step sequences and it’s hard… requires balance and flexibility and grace and athleticism. She needs to do a master class on how to do the perfect step sequence for todays and future skaters imo to help time improve their component scores 🤷🏽♂️
I love this! Thank you so much for posting. :) So much control, fluidity, flexibility, and beauty in all of these skaters' sequences. The only thing I wish is that we could stretch back a bit further and include such incredibly dynamic and fiery StSq's like those of Yagudin (2002 Olympics SP -- simply breathtaking), Plushenko, etc. I suppose it's just a testament to how much figure skating has evolved over these past decades. Thank you again for your superb, gold-medal-worthy posts. Keep up the brilliant work!
I get a random idea that i would love to see Nathan Chen interpret a tango, his body movements seem like it would fit him and he'd be the epitome of sensuality with that. With Anna, it's interesting, even though i had the feeling this step sequenxe wasn't as flashy as the others, she still looks like the absolute ballerina and has smth special. (Yuzu is still my fave though, absolutely killed me with that rock number at the start of the yr)
I really miss times when it should have been two step sequences in a program. it really shows the ability of a skater. (for example Daisuke - who else could fail all the jumps and still make a masterpiece because of two stsq?
@@strawberrylime33 for me - undoubtebly, Daisuke. also Patrick and Stephane were very cool. but Takahashi did it THAT good, that he really could (thank God hypotetically) fall from all the jumps and his programm would still have been amazing. as examples - his SP 2009-2010 and 2007-2008
It's sad to see that Anna does the basics, but gets goes as if she's doing something extraordinary, while Japanese and Koreans ladies with better skills get low goes
I am def not blessed with Anna's step sequence. And with her GOEs. If only her coaches could improve her Skating skills, but there's no way we'll see that in the nearest future.

I don't understand how judges can give Jason Brown a 3 for that SS. And the tie for first place? Look at all the bending one did while the other stayed upright all the time.
I just knew Anna scherbakova would be overscored 😂😂😂... Eteri's girls don't do much leg work or use the knees. Which is why when they're older they struggle. So putting her above someone like Rika is a no.
please drop a email to: hey.skateinsider@gmail.com my apologies if this is such a hassle, i'm doing this to avoid music copyright claims on my channel ☺️
I'm a twizzle-maniac so the list below is my opinion based solely on twizzle: #1. Kevin - very deep inside entry into the twizzle #2. Anna = Loena - decent but not so great. Anna got the poise but Loena's is smoother #4. Jason - lovely outside entry #5. Nathan = Matoko: good edge, elegant entry but it shifted to flat #7. Shoma = slight inside #8. Haein = Yuzuru: straight to flat #10. Rika = edge is fine but rather clumsy
@@shawnwoodward4522 yes, I know that the edges on the entry are different, but the turns are performed on a flat edge. okay maybe I misunderstood your comment 🤷♀️
After this video, if I have to read another comment from a rabid russian fan saying Shcherbakova or Akatieva have THE BEST STEP SEQUENCE EVER I’m going to throw up faster!
The stsq is my favorite element, I like almost everyone's in this video. I'm not a fan of Kaori's skating but I like her stsq, and with Nathan, well, his technical elements are amazing but he lacks a lot of interpretation, which sometimes (most times) makes the program and even the stsq feel a bit boring.
if i'm being honest, Yuzu in this video covers a LOTTTTT less distance on his turns and steps, and is way slower, compared to other people here. He barely makes it down the ice surface once and all his steps are clumped together. (Compare that to how many times Kevin made it around, and at what speed)
@@wh0a12 I know right? I know that it fits the theme but it looks so uncomfortable. Maybe it's not a real leather pants and it's just other type of material that can stretch and look like leather.
it’s also just the way his stsq is choreographed tbh 🤔 defo not the biggest fan of LMEY, couldn’t quite understand the hype around it. a new classical program wouldn’t have been a problem at all even if people were gonna give him crap about not switching genres. LGC was 100% better. i’m glad he’s getting a new one next season- i know everyone says LMEY is an olympic program, but eh idts
^not to mention the music is just,,,, how do i put it? it’s not satisfying. it’s not full. it’s not like PW where the melody takes us through each verse, each pre-chorus, each climax. it just feels steady throughout with the only peak towards the end. props to him for being able to make it fun and interesting, he rlly sells it with the facial expressions, the charisma, the musicality. i can say for sure if anyone else were to do it they’d defo mess it up
i did not like it, but i don't think your assumption is correct. i realize that sometimes having difficult jumps can positively influence pcs scoring; however, it has nothing to do with stsq scoring. stsq has its own criteria for judging.
OR maybe his step sequence is actually really amazing because his footwork has some complicated sequences and turns, great speed, wonderful edges, nice flow, and is done cleanly and effortlessly? Sorry that you did not see what myself or the judges saw. As much as you want to assume it's because of his wonderful quads, it's not. Nathan's step sequences, especially in his SPs, have always been _amazing._ Now Yuzuru's...that was very meh and maybe even over-scored. His entire program was meh, if I'm being honest. There have been more inspiring SPs from him.
@@divinearia1601 no yuzuru has some brilliant interpretation. But I assume that's not related to Step sequence. That would be pcs. Although the judges tend to inflate both depending on quads which is actually wrong.
I don't think its fair when you put the two men together in first place in order to get a tie, it should be Nathan Chen and Karen Chen... They both have exceptional footwork..
The placement was based on the scores that they received from the judges. Nathan and Yuzuru both scored the same GOE for these step sequences, and they were the highest.
Simplicity and shallow edges? Disagree big time. It's as if you're watching a completely different skater from what the judges and I are watching. Jason's had some creative elements behind it, but, it doesn't seem to me like all the different elements have a direction or that everything is seamlessly connected. I get the sense that it's a lot of random stuff just all meshed together? A bit chaotic, IMO. I enjoyed his usage of edges though.
Satoko moves like water. It's a shame her jumps aren't consistent; imagine if they looked like Kaori's. She would be the dream skater
agree!! her skating doesn’t need a medal, she needs an oscar 😇
Satoko puts attentention and detail to her choreography. I obsess with her flick of fingers or small leg kicks that are on the beat of the music. Everything has meaning and she does it so well.
totally agree, she´s awesome
Kolyada's stage presence and his body posture on the ice are always hauntingly beautiful. What a dancer he is!
Yuzuru moves like the wind whenever he skates
Haein's step is so intriguing for some reason. It is beautiful.

Jason's had some creative elements behind it, but, it doesn't seem to me like all the different elements have a direction or that everything is seamlessly connected. I get the sense that it's a lot of random stuff just all meshed together? A bit chaotic, IMO. I enjoyed his usage of edges though.
