Shoma UNO (JPN)

Music: Violin Sonata No. 9 by Kreutzer

Dark blue velvet jacket with sparkly swirls, black pants

3A - turnout
CSSp
FCSp
3Lz - !
3F+3T
StSq
CCoSp3p

Not perfect, but very good skate otherwise

SP: 41.07+34.14 = 75.21 (PB), 2nd (out of 5)

I liked how his music was one continuous piece, unlike Yamamoto's which was cut to shreds. Rachmaninov must be turning in his grave if he could have heard Yamamoto's version of two of his piano concertos condensed badly into a few minutes.

I feel like there will be a big reversal in standings after the free.

 

[silverfoxes]

It's unusual for Petrov to make an error like that, but I hope that means we won't see another fall like that for a long time.

I'd love to see Sota beat Shoma - he gets no hype so I'm rooting for him. Also, I am not a fan of deep v-necks on teenage boys. :disapp:

Boyang JIN (CHN)

Music: Tango Amore by Edvin Marton

Red sequin-patterned shirt, black pants

3A - solid
3F+3T
CCoSp3p - travels a bit
StSq
FCSp
3Lz
CSSp

Clean skate! Good jumper, still needs to work on spins and presentation

SP: 41.84+33.46 = 75.30 (PB), 2nd (out of 6)

 

[Florencito]

Sota ends up with the highest tech

 

[Noolan]

I feel like there will be a big reversal in standings after the free.

Boyang will probably be much stronger in FP. And who knows if Sota can skate that well one more time.

 

[adelia]

Wow, Boyang has higher PCS than Sasha.

 

[TMC]

Sota ends up with the highest tech

And a TES score that wouldn't be much frowned upon in seniors either! Well done to him

 

[Florencito]

Sota ends up first
Hope the pressure won't get him tomorrow!

 

[TMC]

Wow, Boyang has higher PCS than Sasha.

To be fair he has improved immensely since his last competitions, and Sasha seemed a bit off today...

Mte. Boyang was fifth after the short last JGPF with 68 ish and pulled up to first with a wopping 150 in the long. I think Alex has a very real chance at pulling up to medal.

 

[Icey]

So few people in the audience

 

[Florencito]

Still better than Jr Worlds in Milan
At least they are loud, everyone got a nice and warm welcome on the ice.

 

[MIM]

Wow!!! Sota being a Murakami!! I did not expect him to beat both Shoma and Boyang! Well deserved! He was flawless!
Petrov was awesome. I think without that unexpected fall, he would have become first or really close second! I really liked his confidence and presence on ice.
I wish June Hyuong had brought his A Game. Did the national ranking impact his conditioning?

I don't remember him having had a fall previously this season - has he and I've forgotten?

I don't think so. At worst, he only had a turnout or something like that. Just a momentary loss in concentration, I think. Overall, he's been performing more solidly than last season.

 

[adelia]

Wow, one judge gave Petrov 3.75 for transitions, 5.75 for performance and 4.25 for interpretation. Ridiculous. Inman being far too obvious there. This is some BS.

Sota in first? Wow. Well done! Hope Petrov and Shoma comes back strong in the free!
