2018 Skate Canada Men's Free Skate

[DanseMacabre]

Holy guacamole, Shoma got almost 40 points just from his first three jumping passes.

 

[TallyT]

Yes!!! Junhwan's first GP medal!!!!!

 

[Metis]

That fall could have implications... i was thinking of the PCS caps, but then he fell again. Oh no.

 

[Zhafiraiha]

Ahhh

 

[Weathergal]

Is it bad that I enjoyed Shoma's SP more?

 

[Noxchild]

Shoma just damn near killed himself, but yeah, that should take it.

And now, goooo Keegan!!

 

[lusk8]

Two falls he is getting tired

 

[DonnaR]

Even with the 2 falls, that skate from Shoma was mesmerizing!

 

[satine]

Shoma seems to fall right in front of the judges a lot....

 

[NoNameFace]

Is it bad that I enjoyed Shoma's SP more?

Perfectly normal me thinks

 

[lusk8]

TES of 102.51 at ending pose

 

[jillredhand]

Good heavens. Look at that monstrous TES even with two falls. Well, Shoma sure wasn't going to hand the gold over. That was terrifying.

 

[friedbanana]

Best skating so far by a mile. But Shoma...the program is so boring.

 

[rinkside_user]

When clean, this program will most likely cause Hanyu trouble. Fierce TES despite falls.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Shoma also looked like he was running out of steam, though he didn't lose speed... very strange 3T fall. But I think he's done enough to save my predictions

Wow, landed 4 clean quads. Fell on his big combos in 2nd half, but this will probably take gold

FS: 101.74+88.64-2.00 = 188.38 (SB), 277.25 (SB), 1/11

While I am a fan of Shoma I miss his free with screaming lady....this program feels stripped of all the "extra" that I love about Shoma

Started pretty well, but some of those GOEs I saw popping up on the TES box are making me scratch my head.

 

[Hyena]

It was all going so well for Shoma until those falls. And his TES is still over 100! Plus that step sequence!

 

[DanseMacabre]

Shoma seems to fall right in front of the judges a lot....

I always get a bad feeling when he sets up a jump to land in front of the judges.
