2025 Japanese Nationals - Men's FS

[lileychristie]

Messy on the second half, but I think Kao did enough to land on the podium and to Milan

 

[GGFan]

Those first two quads Kao delivered were amazing! I wish he could have kept that going the whole way through, but I'm sitll happy to see him skate this well after all of his struggles.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

THAT'S MY BOY!!!!!
Way to fight!
Still not enough stamina to complete the FS but he's slowly getting there

Aunty is so proud of you lil' mon!
See you at WC!...and 4CC if I can make it to both

 

[YuBluByMe]

Shun seems to be the only one immune to the nerves so far. Even Rino who can't go to the Olympics was affected.

Nakata has an injury. I don’t think that was nerves.

 

[sissy7]

Ganba Yuma!!!! We deserve a beautiful yumadot after the stress of this free

 

[elektra blue]

[lileychristie]

Nakata has an injury. I don’t think that was nerves.

I mean I think the jump issues were more stamina issues related to reduced training time, yes. But, he seemed off throughout the program which I think was nerves.

 

[yfan1]

So, so happy about Miura and Sato. Those were my only two horses in the entire JNats race lol.

 

[freedomlover]

YUMA.

Oh they will cook. They have enough experience doing that for just having the sal and toe.

 

[Arriba627]

Stellar start for Kao. Good fight all the way to the end. Jumps getting a little sloppy towards the end. Should be enough? 261.18!!!!!

 

[freedomlover]

Him not having skated his planned layout ONCE clean this season is concerning when you consider what international Judges are willing to do.

Oh they will cook. They have enough experience doing that for just having the sal and toe.

not internationally.

Another messy Nationals free from Yuma, he was so good in practice and the six-minute warmup but always seems to have errors at this event. He recovered a lot of points by moving around the combos, but the +REP on the 4T will really hurt. His SP lead will help him win here, but there's still work to be done before Milan.

 

[freedomlover]

Shun really the only guy without a hard fall, wowzers.

 

[elektra blue]

Yuma grew needles it's a fact, he's going to win of course, but i feel Shun should get the title...on this note time for my lunch break. see you in Saint Petersburg
