Sota get a hold of yourself!

Jacket still rules though.

What’s wrong with him? :-(

That is a properly done traditional Chinese costume and I very much approve

Jumps were not there but I liked the program and his lovely lines are always a plus in my book

Sota I still love you. The spins were good though.

The green jacket wasn't magic after all.

There were a few good things in there. But, on the whole, it was a disaster skate.

Simon seems to think that Yamamoto will go way ahead of Yoshioka. Well, there is a pretty big gap between them from the SP, so he probably will. But, it'll be interesting to see how the FS itself scores.

Ha ha who came up with that karate kick thing? Was it Elvis Stojko? I feel like it was him.

I don't know what time it is where you are, but I feel so sorry for those viewers who are watching in the wee small hours, and were starting to drop off while waiting for the Men to start. And then getting woken up with a start by that!

Good start for Yoshioka, skating to what was quite big music.

Thank you for the empathy post. It is almost 3am here. anything that helps keep me awake is a good thing(within reason)

Go Kao! I really liked him yesterday, thought I can't recall why right now

"The Last Samurai"

Big music for a little guy.

Oh no. Now there’s horrific wailing that’s scaring me. Right in the middle, too.

My stream is skipping! Is anyone else's doing that or is it Aussie internet messing me up?

 

[treblemakerem]

Kids got some energy.

Mine is fine

 

[Ichatdelune]

A pop to begin

Ooh nice recovery there

But then lost steam

I remember him having pretty bad spins and I do commend him on improving on that point, while his spins are not the best in the world they are definitely improved

This is great - love the music choices and the proper costumes!!! Sota Yamamoto has a new fan!

 

[Winnie_20]

I dunno, but somehow watching men’s figure skating and ladies rhythmic gymnastics doesn’t go together very well...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

For somebody so young, Miura really pulled that off!

Good on you Kao!

Sure, there were mistakes, but on the whole that was impressive.

He had a 4 point lead over Yamamoto coming into this. Will he stay ahead of him? That is the question.

Personally, based on what I saw in the past 10 minutes, I would give it to Miura. But, a lot will depend on how much of Sota's score was reputation.

little samurai did well at his first major senior competition, but the judges don't forgive anything and nerves got him. overall well done.

I'm looking forward to Kazuki the most, then Keiji...
