The rink seems to be really cold...

Yeah, I noticed the competitors' breath was often visible during the competition...

I noticed that too

Now that's the Beauty and the Beast I know and love! (But with more creative step-outs, lol)

FS rewatch boys


Oh!
I love Forrest Gump, you have a new fan, Tsukasa
I'm glad he made the cut
He's careful with the jumps but does a better hydroblading than lots of the top guys.
And is he a Shoma fan? My little

Then it went downwars with the music, but upwards with the points.

And Ryushin!
Also not the highest content and toubles with spins, be he reminds me of (a slow) Koshiro.
Although he looks more like Yuzuru

Oh, and a wild warhorse program for Haruto. Spins, jumps, everywhere..

Hum, you wear a Prince costume, but are not skating to Prince, boy?
Distracting!
But he's a bit better spinner.

And the warhorses continue..
oof and the weird spins too

Oh boy, what a rough day for Ryusei.
But somehow he and his Nathan Chen hair kept my attention.

Did Tsudoi just manage to do a stepout into a cantilever?

Oh, is Kao tired? That looked a bit unexpected in the end.
But 230 is nothing to be ashamed of.
I had a feeling that he tries to put more details into the first half of the program now, maybe something they did when adapting the layout? And he squeezed in all the combos I think.

Shunsuke also looked slower than usual. And the rink seems really cold.
Maybe not the most ideal ice surface for everybody?
But well over 200. Nice.

Oh, what are they playing now? Mone?

 

[yesterday]

Omigod...that's like a total different program

Not the best skate for Tsudoi, but I am impressed by his ability to turn the loop step-out into a besti squat, lol.

Maybe because it's new and "fresh" but I think I like Kao's Junior FS program better than his Senior program

The rink seems to be really cold...

Wow, thank you all, sharing my quick impressions

 

[yesterday]

Exhibition

Shunsuke is playing from his phone?
Ouch, stop falling pls
Nooo boy! He just... I don't get it
That's not your new ending pose, nope

Mana look like she doesn't want to be there
ahh and her lace got loose, glad it's only for the last seconds..

Lol boys playing who can do more stepouts in a minute
I'm glad to see them smiling so much!

Wow Kao, that's a lot of mind switching, well done. And also that part seemed more refined overall.
