[Ichatdelune]

I just hope he goes to a doctor in time and heals

My predictions for men are DEAD, but I don't care. Shun darling, I'm so glad! NOW GO REST AND HEAL

... What the hell is this version of POTO

The music cuts made no sense to me at all.

 

[anonymoose_au]

the gloves are distracting with 1 side 1 color and the other side a different color.

Yes it's for the ending pose specifically. I'm not sure it's worth the distraction. At first I thought he'd hurt his hand too.

And now his shoulder is truly dead. How did he move it during the performance though?!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Points for a different music cut of PotO featuring songs that skating hasn't yet beaten to death, but man that brought a whole new meaning to "past the point of no return." Heal up soon, Shun!

 

[kmw227]

Okay Shun you survived now go rest that shoulder and come back strong for your next event!

 

[auser]

Nice 4T's Shun. Congrats for braving it out.

I think Shun skates on willpower alone

Sato has beautiful 4Ts. I don’t like his skating all (he tripped on his feet twice, I think), but it could’ve gone a lot worse.

 

[chasingneverland]

He survived..

 

[labgoat]

Now Nathan - I might hyperventilate or turn blue from holding my breath...

 

[momrk]

He survived..

Exactly my thought. Grit.

 

[Makkachin]

I'm still worried about him but at least that's over! He has some nice qualities to his skating and he's super young, I hope we see him a lot in the future and his injury gets better.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

God I forgot Nathan is up already, here's hoping I like his Mozart cuts.

Indeed! I hope he can get his shoulder healed. Remember the fellow from Israel who actually popped his out mid-program? Shudder.

Gulp, to YOLO or not to YOLO that is the question for Nathan...

 

[4everchan]

go nathan!!!!!!!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Also, Makkachin, Shun's program is choreod by Kenji Miyamoto, who provided all the choreo and blade/skating sounds for YOI
Oh goodness Nathan

 

[momrk]

Now, Nathan, time to go to work.
