While I can see where you're coming from judging from Shoma's and Boyang's FS, other factors that led to Shoma edging out Boyang:
1) It was just the FS that Boyang won; Shoma had a 12-point advantage from the SP
2) Shoma's PCS was just 3 points higher than what he got at JGPF (and 6 points lower than what he got in 4CC though that's a senior event)
3) supposing Shoma got around the same PCS as he did at his JGPF FS, he'd still have a 2-point lead against Boyang (for what it's worth, Boyang had a 6-point increase in PCS from his JGPF)
4) The 3T<< call is probably dodgy, but we're not the technical caller in the event (it did look more like a botched 3T to me than a 4T, planned elements aside).
Disclaimer: I love both Shoma and Boyang but I think the result was just right. (To be quite honest though, I think Sota should've come in 4th, but he wasn't a big disaster in the SP compared to Nathan so he had the advantage carried over from there, too). And in the end, it's just us couch judging here in the forum. ^^;
i agree with everything you say regarding shoma, boyang, esp sota and nathan,
i am really glad that boyang had the skate of his life but thats doesnt mean he is the complete package yet,i think apart from jumps everything else was just ok (and he deserves his TES 100%), i agree that he improved a lot since the start of season but i dont like his skating yet, and his prgrams are doing him no favor, i really hate his free, he seems really disconnected with the music, i see he is trying in his SP but for his LP he just seems to get through the program
about shoma, i thought it was 2T at 1st but he seemed to add one more rev. really fast, and i agree with the PCS gap both in the short and the free program and overall placement
about sota-nathan, its weird that sota got higher SS than sota, to me nathan is much better than him, shame about 2 quads, probably thats why he got lower SS, i would still give him 2-3 pts higher PCS, considering andrew beat him on that is interesting to say the least and he had a fall too,
also i would like to add i loved loved the 2 young ones, irakli and andrew, they are scary good for their age, how about that 3A from irakli, i will pay attention to him more next season, i cant wait to see their developments
also loved Deniss and Denis, Deniss got some crazy spins and twizzles that i am crazy about also great jumps and Denis is so much fun to watch and looks so gratefull and humble, congratz to them as well
