I could watch this Japanese team all day. And they look like they are enjoying it too.

MIURA Riku / KIHARA Ryuichi (JPN)

Fantastic skate! Wonderful speed and flow through all of the elements! The only main glitches are the 3T+2T+2T being very far apart from each other and maybe Miura getting a 'q' or '<' on the 3T, and maybe a bit of a low landing on the throw 3Lo. But the lifts were fast and they landed both side-by-side jumps. This puts a LOT of pressure on Knierim/Frasier to bring it, because these first few teams are showing up!

 

[Haikush]

Yay! Another clean program!

Anyone have a link? I thought NBC was going to show it live like they did the other two nights...ugh

 

[Jasira]

Wow, fantastic score for them. Very deserved.

What lower leg/squat regimen Riku has, I would like to know what it is. That save was even more impressive in slo mo.

 

[lizardlass]

Yay, seasons best for R/R!

Riku does karate? How awesome is that!

Whoo yeah! Into the lead!

OK let's be cool, guys, be cool...

While they could have literally been skating to any music at all, they had infectious joy and killed those landings. so I'm not complaining.

They (fairly) got a UR on the toe combo but had level 4s on everything except the twist (3) and a lift (3)

i think you need a new bf

 

[ruffledgrouse]

there are just as many yellow boxes for the Japanese... Yellow just means they will review the element... it doesn't automatically it sucks... red does..

This event's tech panel

Why weren't Cain-Gribble/Leduc chosen for the team event, given that they are the national champs? No hate for K/F, I'm just wondering if anyone knows.

Honestly that would be amazing... Maybe one day!

Peng/Jin 's costume look amazing

I’m watching it live on NBC Sports (not Peacock though I’m sure it is there also).
