2025 Four Continents Men's Short Program

[GGFan]

Can't we give Jun a second chance on that first jumping pass? He's so good! His musicality and flair are special. Better for the mistake to happen here than in Boston I guess.

Probably still tired after that mighty effort last week... he is one of the most beautiful skaters at the minute in all ways.

Small medal for Jimmy? Wow.

 

[lileychristie]

Oh lord darling... better here than at Worlds...

His LzLo combo was so gorgeous though And considering the guy just threw everything last week, it's still a very commendable effort

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh dear, that loop went very wrong. Never seen it like that before.

Poor Kao. Good effort, but many mistakes.

 

[GGFan]

Props to Kao for refusing to pop his jumps and somehow landing that salchow and absorbing that fall on the loop. Good to see him smiling at the end.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That combination was pretty wacky, but the rest was solid - Good job! I actually found him more much engaging to watch, with a more interesting program, than usual.

2020 4CCs men's SP was literally the best competition I've ever watched. 2025 4CCs men's SP was not. I want to cry

Kao's quad sal save is almost Yuzu-level illusion save

 

[Karoltyna]

I guess I just died a little

I'm dead full stop

 

[lileychristie]

Does Jimmy placing 2nd after the SP is in anyone's bingo card?

I hope he can keep it together in the free and not pressure himself too much, I'd love to see him stay in the podium!

Vakhtang Murvanidze was the master of saving jumps like this

Kao's brave to come here without a 4T or a 3T, lol.

More stubborn than brave, I'd say

 

[TallyT]

More stubborn than brave, I'd say

As I said earlier, the Japanese men simply are (and probably both), have been at least since Takahashi.

 

[rabidline]

Brave as in he's actively jeopardizing any little trust JSF may have right now in him with Olympic season coming up. But then again he's been like this since his juniors.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I'm going to go home and sleep for 12 hours, the most important competition of the season for my darling was AWG (second is Worlds) so I guess I couldn't ask for that much here, but lord I am beat
