2025-26 Grand Prix Final Men's Free Skate

[flanker]

If it weren't for the big margin from the SP Daniel would win a medal over Yuma today.

Yuma great skate. Wonderful with a few hiccups. 2nd

Yuma beating Shun with a fall and a missed spin was the biggest robbery this season. NHK 2025.....

 

[Karoltyna]

And this was so beautiful I didn't notice the jumps

 

[elektra blue]

I really hope Japan sends Shun to Olympics

i think Yuma and Shun are a lock, the 3rd men place is wide open though

Gasp! Did Yuma just deliver the Shoma Special on that quad toe combo?

No, Shoma would do an emergency single toe.

THANK YOU

Kagiyama's getting waaaaay too much credit because of his basic skating. His jump technique is flawed, his performance is robotic, and his programs are just not good.

Yuma dis finish 4th in free skate 2nd overall

 

[freedomlover]

Yuma got 194 for that???

 

[SmileHappy34]

Excellent men free. Wonderful to watch.

I'm a huge Shun but this isn't fair. Yuma's the best performer here with the most complex programs. And, yes, basic skating like he has should be rewarded.

Yumaaaaaaa, can't even imagine the pressure he must be feeling - I was worried he's gonna fold completely, but he didn't! Some slight mistakes on the jumps but he managed to mostly keep it together

Thank god he put down his best ever SP here which secured his silver And yay for Shun's bronze, I got the podium correct

 

[lariko]

Yeah, they pushed him ahead of Sato. Again. Japan.

Love the interaction between Malinin and Kagiyama!

We are gonna be drinking raspberry bubbly tonight!

How dare them give credit for the very foundation of skating. Scandalous!

 

[freedomlover]

Shun needs to be absolutely perfect for him to even crack 190 with higher base value. Man f**k me.

 

[labgoat]

Kagiyama blowing it - and this program is just drab.

I love Yuma and his skating, but I do not like this cut of Nessum Dorma - it is too commercial and loses its heart

 

[lariko]

No, Shoma would do an emergency single toe.

It's not the same without Lambiel

It's not even that for me, I can appreciate a lot about Yuma's skating. But you can't deny that he loses his magic too when he has an off day with his jumps. And NHK , for me, a competition when Shun went cleaner than he did at the GPF, only to get a 285 at HOME and lose. Can't agree with that.

That was actually a very good competition. I don’t think there was a single fall and the tech was very high. Strangely, it was also much better than the SP.

As often happens with the men.
