Fabulous skate by Elladj!! I was grinning throughout his performance... and then got a little choked up at the end. He's such a wonderful ambassador for the sport. I'm sure that he will have a long, successful show skating career. All the best, Elladj!!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Takahito loved it too

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Mura...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

It's ok bb I still love you and your sexy mole

 

[gerorin]

Taka-chan no.....

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

Lots of emotion as he got off the ice - is that Elladj's last skate too? If so, what a way to go out!

Yes.

 

[Skater Boy]

Nice work EB. Now Mura!

 

[anonymoose_au]

LOL The Phantom of the Opera...it'll be with skating until the end.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Blecch. POTO. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oh, Mura...

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

I actually like this program and think Charlie White did a great job with it.

A sad goodbye, but he rallied well.

 

[SarahSynchro]

I hear there’s a POTO sequel now? Ugh. How fast will that soundtrack become a warhorse?

 

[jillredhand]

Ouch, that TES box...

 

[WeakAnkles]

Where is WeakAnkles ? All about the beat

I'm mostly on the sidelines, but I chime in occasionally.

And yes, I CAN clap on the beat...

The Japanese should really hire themselves out, turn professional. "FABULOUS AUDIENCE WITH ACTUAL RHYTHM FOR YOUR NEXT SPORTING EVENT! REASONABLE RATES! ENTHUSIASM GALORE! CALL TODAY!"

 

[Skater Boy]

Could this be Mura's swan song? Will he skate at the Olympics if Hanyu can't.
Oh the drama

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Rough skate by Mura... The jumps all looked sloppy, even the ones that he did complete. Obviously, it's a hard act to follow Elladj, but I feel like Mura really needs to step up his presentation game.

He's not one for understated costumes, is he?

 

[Crossover]

The start wasn't great and some errors in the program too but the performance touches my heart regardless. Thanks, Mura!

 

[Mrs. P]

Daddy Mura got all his level 4 spins!
