2023 Grand Prix Espoo Men's Free Skate

well @labgoat you may be right... maybe Liam has a chance

The numbers tell the technical part of the story.

Wow, this was a great skate from Shun Sato, both technically and artistically. He definitely makes a case here for the GPF.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Well done young man! The quads looked incredibly easy and he’s paying more attention to the program. This was more evident in the SP, though. The spins still need work, but he did very well under pressure.

Shun was brilliant. Beautiful choice of music.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow Shun! That was amazing!! He could win this!

Tout est chaos !!!!

 

[YuBluByMe]

It’s all up to Miura!

@elektra blue did you see that Corey Circelli, Memola's shorter twin is competing in an Italian event next week?

I think he may be jumping feds.

I wish he'd consider skating for UK - he could do this, too, with having been born in Manchester.

 

[bartlebooth]

Wow. Just wow. Clean Miura!

Kao will do the most gorgeous 4S and then a level 2 spin that needs to find Jesus. His spin levels might actually cost him the gold here

that would be a better choice for him for sure.

 

[EdgeCall]

Awesome counter from Miura.

Could be close, but he should have it.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Kao's choreo sequence was great!

Note to all skaters: please stop invading the judges' personal space.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Solid skate by Kao, with some good fight, but I preferred Shun. Kao just seems a bit messier, with weaker lines and posture - although he definitely performs more than Shun does. I found Kao's shirt rather distracting as well.

 

[4everchan]

i'd give this to Shun.
