He may not be the most refined, but he delivered. Strong tech skate that will grab at least silver.

FS: 91.74+81.50 = 173.24 (PB), 225.81 (PB), 1st (out of 10)

Here's my super unpopular opinion for the day: I don't enjoy Jason Brown. I don't get him at all. I'm just left scratching my head at his enormous popularity.

Not that unpopular. I'm puzzled as well.

 

[Meoima]

Wow wow wow wow MURA!!

Wow Mura. Such lovely high jumps, with confident entrances, soft landings and nice glide out. Really impressive. Plus I enjoyed the choreo for the most part too (and tolerated lyrics, yay for me!). Very well done!

 

[charmblade]

That was beautiful from Mura. I liked the use of the different colored gloves as the mask. But seriously, what is with Team Japan and POTO this year? Did they all get together and decide that everyone loves it and they should all skate to it? :scratch:

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I'm going to invent a virus that removes all copies of Carmen and Phantom from every skater's digital devices.

:thumbsup:

Will Fernandez remember to count?

 

[unico]

YESSSSSS That's what you do if you have a crappy generic warhorse program, at least skate it cleanly !!! Im so absolutely chuffed for him.

 

[silverfoxes]

Well, I think my top 3 predictions were on point even if the rest were a mess.

Maybe I should wait for Javi to skate first before getting too excited...

 

[msteach3]

Great skate for Mura. It will be interesting to see how Hanyu's Phantom compares (costume and all) next week at CoC.

 

[HanDomi]

ok

I am going to create thread Mura vs MAchida 1.0

 

[gimble]

Watching Mura for the first time and I find that he is much better than I was dreading from all the comments on the forum.

 

[karne]

C'mon, hurry up, scores so we can get through Javi and I can go back to sleep before the sun gets too high and precludes me doing so.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Impressive skate by Mura! Boy, am I ever sick of POTO! There are far, far too many (read: more than zero) POTO programs across the disciplines this year!

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Mura, yaaaaay!!!! arty:

 

[OS]

Mura and Dad = Dad and proud Mini big me.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Awesome jumps from Mura and he made them the highlights very effectively. Great performance. Bravo!

 

[mirai4life]

aww

 

[Poice]

My prediction was really bad...I just need Mura to win this one and I guess I'll get round ,,zero" xD But why not? Mura for gold!
