2022 Olympics: Men's Short Program

[Jontor]

Oh Yuzuru! The best skater EVER imo.

This rink has a Salchow curse.

 

[Tinymavy15]

Nathan just got his gold medal.

 

[museksk8r]

Aww, he appears to be fighting back tears. Sad!

 

[EdgeCall]

This was the old, amazing, unique Yuzuru Hanyu. Except for one second.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Someone remind me how many will make it to the free again?

24.

Wow so many transitions...

NGL I was hoping for Let My Entertain You...that program was pure awesomeness.

But hopefully for the Gala!

 

[rollerblade]

Wow, anyone else felt the earth flatten and no longer round?

 

[CellarDweller]

I screamed really loud when he popped....I hope my neighbors don't call the cops!

I let out a huge gasp. So shocked!

 

[LadyB]

Oh, Yuzu.... All the hype. I was hoping he'll go and smash it, but there's still the FS....

 

[Mista Ekko]

How the hell did that happen?

I remember the same thing happening to him on a SP at Worlds a few years ago

 

[Jontor]

He popped the Axel.

No he popped the Salchow

 

[WeakAnkles]

Well I clutched my pearls TWICE:

that opening pop

and how beautiful the program is.

He should absolutely go for the quad axel in the Free. He has nothing to lose.

 

[4everchan]

At least he can attempt his 4As in peace now lol.

some might even think he unconsciously allowed himself that freedom

 

[Hyena]

It's going to be an uphill climb to a gold now, depending on how Nathan's SP goes.

 

[ramurphy2005]

He popped the Axel.

Salchow

 

[Jammers]

Wow Hanyu is usually clean in the SP and he rarely pops a jump.

 

[skatesofgold]

He popped the Axel.

Salchow.

 

[Arigato]

 

[karne]

I'll still wager on a 90ish score.

 

[yelyoh]

WTF!!!! Still an absolutely lovely program.

 

[satine]

He might not even be in the final group for the FS now
