Whaaaaat haaaapaaaaa
Ur on 3A and combo?

 

[cathlen]

UR on combo? His TES lowered significantly...

 

[Yossalu]

Yikes, once again the UR monster wreaks havoc on him.

 

[WeakAnkles]

That score is screwy enough to start an investigation.

 

[Yuzuruu]

Keiji you have to nail it for once! Come on, ganba!

 

[elektra blue]

keiji your shirt is bipolar

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww poor Jun, but I've been watching hard and can see the under rotation on the slo-mo now. Looked nice is real time though.

The sea of Japanese flags gives me goosebumps! Go Keiji!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I think they do that when the axel did not work.

There's that Japanese politeness for you

 

[cathlen]

We have Mr. Popstar back

 

[ruffledgrouse]

keiji your shirt is bipolar

...and his jumps are popped hwell:

 

[Ichatdelune]

His 3A is his most consistent jump, a fall on it means his ankles aren't working properly... I don't care about scores or placements, I want him to be healthy

And of course the popstar pops

 

[satine]

If Keiji doesn't get enough PCS or gets another call, he may not even qualify :sad4:

Costly pop to start - luckily did the other jumps

SP: 39.23+39.53 = 78.76, 9/22

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Oh dear - That pop is really going to hurt him. I don't find him terribly engaging as a performer, and starting off with a pop didn't help things.

 

[elektra blue]

...and his jumps are popped hwell:

he is the king of pop after all

 

[LaArdilla]

Shallow comment: Keiji is ridiculously handsome.

 

[patchris84]

For Cha, commentators of Eurosport France said that his quad and triple axel had been degraded but they were themselves in misunderstanding.

 

[Cyt150]

...and his jumps are popped hwell:

Poor him

 

[ruffledgrouse]

If Keiji doesn't get enough PCS or gets another call, he may not even qualify :sad4:

Shades of Han Yan and Nam Nguyen...

speak of the devil, look whose up next

 

[Yuzuruu]

Commentators of Eurosport France said that his quad and triple axel had been degraded

What? The axel was fine :/
