2022-23 Japanese National Championships - Men's FS

[zanadude]

Over under on the spread between first and second place? I'll say 50.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Omg, Koshiro stays in the lead!

 

[zanadude]

Omg, Koshiro stays in the lead!

Maybe permanently if Shoma keeps popping and splatting.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Actually I’ll put Shimada under Tomono. It’s going to be super tight, though. The SP lead might be enough.

 

[yume]

Naaaaah, i would have had Kazuki over Koshiro.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Shoma popped one quad but he doesn’t need his best to win here so it’s ok

 

[zanadude]

The music stopped, but he's still going...

 

[Dawn825]

So that was stressful...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Naaaaah, i would have had Kazuki over Koshiro.

I agree but as long as JFed doesn’t pull some nonsense and knock Kazuki off the team for ont of the GPFinalists who didn’t make the podium here I can live with this result tbh.

 

[zanadude]

A rare deduction for something other than a fall.

 

[zanadude]

Who else has qualified for Worlds consideration, besides the podium three?

 

[Dawn825]

He did the 4-3

FS: 191.28
TOT: 291.73

honestly the real win for Shoma here is getting in three real combinations, he has struggled with that for years and he finally did it!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

LOL...Kao 2nd in the FS with a decent but not spectacular skate (for him)
Hope he remembers that the next time he decides to bury himself with his SP

Sota.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Who else has qualified for Worlds consideration, besides the podium three?

Sota did, with GPF and 2nd highest SB score among all the Japanese Men

Koshiro and Kazuki were the 2 in the top 6 here who didn't make Final
Kazuki got a bronze at one of his events
Koshiro didn't medal

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yamamoto. He’s GPF silver medalist and high on the SB list too.

 

[balabam]

That's some advertising when you blow your nose with your sponsor's banner

 

[zanadude]

Yamamoto. He’s GPF silver medalist and high on the SB list too.

Oh yeah. Only five points between him and Kazuki. But given prior precedent, Yamamoto is probably out.

 

[Dawn825]

I'm sad about Shun, he's been my favorite man this year after Shoma
