[Franklin99]

185.48 for Shoma!!!And Japan is in the Lead.

Holy smokes Shoma. Quad combination in the second half? This early in the season??

The US Classic got all his bad juju out, so now it's gone and he can skate well.

185.48! This early. Well, this is held in Japan so maybe a little inflation.

HOLY CRAP
I really hope that wasn't the skate of his season though. But he's really gonna have a good year if that's any indicator

Russia is clearly the strongest nation in across all 4 disciplines yet they keep losing these team tournaments like WTT and JO... I wonder if Russia will win again in 2019

lol wow Shoma mirroring Patrick@JO2014. I hope this means he didn't peak too early (and for a competition that doesn't count).

 

[kendollwilson]

huggggeee score Japan in lead!
after Men
1st place Japan 331.25
2nd place North America 312.86
3rd place Europe 281.75 (Brian ruined it for them. His score will probably be the lowest even out of all the women.)

No Russian Men here. But then, they aren't necessarily the strongest Europeans.

Last season they didn't have V/T and/or S/K at WTT and K/S struggled a bit. And the ice dance teams are very good but they need a little bit more to break through the teams at the top. Kovtun and Voronov faced many struggles late in the season, as well.
And Well, Russia hasn't participated at these JO at all yet, since none of the men at Team Europe are Russian. We'll have to wait and see how Adelina and Liza do.

 

[kendollwilson]

do the ladies scores get added to the mens to determine the outcome or is it individual between the women and men?

 

[ahy]

When will ladies competition start? i cant wait...

 

[FTnoona]

Shoma's TES is huge! Looks like he can seriously shake things up this season. Super excited to see his fs!

Plushenko was a regular at JO.

Team totals count, including Men and Ladies.

I was talking about this edition where there are no Russian men. It was THIS, rather than THESE.

30 minutes, give or take.
