Didn't know about that. More admiration for him. He has pretty good jump techniques and SS. When was the last time a top skater started skating at a double-digit age?
Johnny Weir, age 12?

Adian did have some back pain, for those who were wondering.

To breakdown how Shoma was so far ahead of Adian:
Shoma had a 7.93 TSS lead over Adian.
From TES he had a 3.90 lead overall (0.37 in BV + 3.53 in +GOE)
In PCS he had a 4.03 lead over him (pretty evenly dispersed over all 5 criteria).
Agree about the overall TES, though I'll give his lutz 0 (since he didn't touch down with anything, I think?) and lower the GOE for his 3F-3T instead (mix of 1s/0s, rather than the current mix of 1s/2s).I disagree with Shoma's GOEs.
I'd give him about +1 for his 3A and -1 or -.5 for his Lutz. coming to about 3 points to many on GOE's
He'd still be well in the lead, but there's no need to go over board with the scores the way the judges have.
Oh no, Adian... :hopelessness: Well, at least it doesn't sound like a severe/permanent problem... but he'll have to figure out an alternative to the donut in the future. A shame, because it's one of the only watchable camel variations in the field... But when he's in pain like this, I'd rather not see him try the donut.Adian did have some back pain, for those who were wondering.

I don't agree with just how high his score is either, but to be fair, he himself plus his coach were surprised tooNot only here but after his SP at 4CC

You have a situation where you got 4 out of the top 10 who competed at 4CC or Euros...I feel there was a bit of a senior pcs boost if they skated relatively clean. This is different from past years where they were at juniors after doing senior GP because they were too young. It was different than Yu/Jin in pairs since they didn't get to do 4CC (and judges didn't really give them that much of a boost relative to Seguin/Billodeau, who had been in juniors all year.
This makes a good case for that "Don't go back to juniors if you did seniors" rule they proposed. Though on the other hand it shuts the door competition wise for skaters from smaller countries who can't qualify for Worlds...
It is true Shoma was slightly overscored, but he absolutely deserves to be in the first place. Shoma was much better today than all the others![]()
Just saw the protocols.First of all nice competition.
Felt like there were a little boost in pcs overall.
And about Shoma's axel which some were talking about, the judges might have been a little generous for the goe but to be fair, it had difficult entry, good extension on landing, good flow (entry to exit), ease(effortless), and was matched to the music so that would give him 5 out of 8 bullets in the goe criteria. That would still easily make it a +2 jump. Don't think the mark he got was ridiculous imo. What do you think?

Ooh, if they had that rule then over half the top 10 would be out!
