I was just thinking this is such a good program for Kao (choreo and music fit) and then ohhhh no that fall

Apparently Kao left practices early today with some sort of foot issue - he really is so dynamic and exciting and incredible when he is totally clean. I do hope that he is taking proper care of his body so that he can be at 100% for the Olympics next year. I really love this program, it feels like a perfect fit for his skating style and I wouldn't be mad if he repeated it for next season. It might be my favourite men's short of the year.

It's definitely mine! And yes I also need him to pull a Kao(ri) and do both Benoit programs for next season - his style suits Kao without making Kao look like a copy of other skaters using Benoit choreo.

Oof, I really did not want to be right about him still struggling with injury. I agree about the program and also hope he takes care of himself.

That quad toe..... Anyways, this was a good performance for Kao! His StSq this time around was easily the most power I've seen him put into it, which is saying something! He always puts so much into his performances so this was really fun. I hope he's taking care of himself though with his foot bothering him and all.

Ah Kao, too bad about the fall, but 88 is still a great score.
I hope his health (physical and mental!) is better now.

Oh no, a bit of a disaster skate for Tatsuya - he had an outside shot at some assignments with his GP medal, and I wonder if the pressure just got to him a bit today. He did well to recover with a really lovely combo, and kept on pushing his PCS marks in the steps.

Hope he's alright. The StSq was still really nice and that combo was much better than his other jumps.

I had him in my predictions unfortunately. It is important to learn how not to panic when the first jump goes awry or else you end up with a second jump problem (single axel). He will learn from this and grow.
