[Mariiiiskate]

He landed the hard jumps and combos and struggled with the easier ones how unfortunate
Poor kid looks sad

I say did this fellow just get a tiny bit of positive GOE for a popped jump?! I've never seen that before!

Japanese skaters tend to have pops ignored by the judges. Nakai, for example...

Seigo is a very good skater, elegant and emotive, with good jumps and spins, but today just wasn't his day

Seigo. I love his shirt. Nice program, a few mistakes, but I liked it.

I think it happens quite often which is why this green/red system is so totally useless.

Ombre shirts seem to be quite in with the juniors. I like this one

(By the way, any attempts at hydroblades this competition?)

Quite a lot actually! I'm sure there's been at least 3?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

It actually was. A big jump, with a lot of flow, and the pop looked quite controlled in contrast to some other pops.

 

[lileychristie]

Ahh Seigo It's Moulin Rouge again but at least he's selling that final bit of Come What May.
And I have to say the mole on his chin is adorable

 

[lariko]

Nah, managed to just edge out Mel'nikov and redeem Mark.

 

[elektra blue]

Eco-Michael?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Good Fight Seigo bb!

He will never get a consistent 3A with that terrible Axel technique

 

[TallyT]

Quite a lot actually! I'm sure there's been at least 3?

 

[lariko]

That was a gorgeous start from Xie!

 

[lariko]

4 axels start. I dunno if I have seen that before!

 

[icewhite]

He's really on today.

 

[elektra blue]

the cleanest i've ever seen Michael...of course when i don't have him in my predictions

 

[lariko]

He's really on today.

Don't jinx, I want a clean beautiful skate even if it destroys my predictions.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

What a great job from Michael! Hopefully he stomped all over Rinky (or Rinky is too drunk to bother anyone else today )

 

[lariko]

Wow, that was great! Best performance so far
