2022 Olympics: Men's Short Program

[museksk8r]

I am a complete bundle of nerves and I have a nagging headache from lack of sleep. I have no idea how these skaters manage their stress under such pressure and public scrutiny!

 

[Alchamei]

Did that score seem a bit too high? Missing one jump cost Mao an entire podium…

She missed more. Had a fall, Ur and lost levels.

If Scomo won't be ahead of Yuzuru I'm gonna scream and wake up my neighbors.

Are you Australian? That's the nickname we give our Prime Minister, among others...

But Yaass Shoma! He fought for the 3 toe!

 

[Janice4th]

Nice job, Shomo. My second favorite Japanese male skater. Daisuke is still my #1 favorite.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Agree. That score seemed unfair.

His flying camel will probably also get +4S even though the entry was wild and off the landing point of the jump entry.

UNO Shoma (JPN)

Almost as sterling as his short program in the team competition. Wonderful 4F (+4s to me) and a very strong 3A (also +4 to me), but a hand-down on the 4T+3T. He's lucky to still get a green light on that, as I would give it a -1. It seems that the technical controller might not be as stringent on his spins and footwork levels. Strong artistry as usual, and spins that are more centered as I've seen in the past. Still not sold on the last bit of music as it doesn't build to an ending, but should score around 100 I think. (EDIT: Oh, it's 105, nice!)

Shoma opens the battle for gold.

 

[Totentanz]

I love Shoma but my main favorite Japanese man here is Kagiyummy❤❤❤

 

[Placebo11]

Wow. So happy for Shoma!

 

[auser]

Can't breathe

Let's suffocate together

 

[GGFan]

Well the judges are not holding back PCS wise

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Okay that’s unfair. That is NOT a personal best with an error on the combo. That should have been around 103-104.

Shoma comes through with Shoboe again. Yes, the combo, but the spins, the spins. I love this program, maybe even more than Sholero

 

[Wafflecakes]

Wow this scoring with mistakes is generous.

We will see if that holds for all the top skaters or if agendas are afoot.

 

[lariko]

Woo-hoo! Fantastic! So happy for Uno!

 

[satine]

Can't breathe

Be strong for Junhwan!

 

[Alchamei]

Got even a better score than in TE! And Shoma is suprised and happy.

Well the judges are not holding back PCS wise

A clean Jason better get 49 and Chen 47
