2023 NHK Trophy Men's Free Skate

That’s how you end a program! The fall on the 3A is going to keep it close, but I think Kagiyama has the gold. His TES matched Uno’s even with the mistakes and he already had a five-point lead.

Whoever wins, this has been a beautiful fight.

Yuma, I wonder if the two pops in his combo will cost him the gold... Nevermind the fall, if he did triple combos instead I think it would've been enough.

I think he should do 2 quad sals and just 1 3A, his quad sals are way more stable and they are such a beauty

Was it time violation? Looked Shoma stopped after the music.

I was wondering that, too. That could be the difference in 1 and 2.

Yuma won!!!

Aww I love how Yuma applauds Carolina and his father

And he's got it!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Know what? I'm okay with Shoma and Yuma's FS scores
I just want scoring in the JNats Men's event to be fair~

 

[Jumping_Bean]

So cute

Petition for Shoma's knees to be made one of the seven wonders of the natural world.

Say can you do a 3A-3A sequence?

good idea, but I think Kneegan Messing's knees deserve first refusal on this

Loved these last two skates. So impressed with them... and Yuma's skating has improved so much.... very enjoyable end to the competition.

This was an exiting event. See you folks somewhere later.

Really thought Shoma had it, his TES went down over 10 points so he was probably again hammered by the technical panel. I am in minority and love his Lp.
But I also loved Yuma’s LP. Really really really good.
I enjoyed top 3 a lot today, high level

 

[Sai Bon]

So classy in the interview. That's my boy!!!

 

[SmileHappy34]

Congratulations all. Great skate

 

[yuumagical]

Why do I get this sad feeling...the sense of a generation of skaters changing over?

 

[Sai Bon]

Awww, papa Kagiyama looks so happy!

 

[readernick]

Yuma is an almost perfect technical skater. The jumps, the SS. He deserved the win. I would probably like this program more if he wasn't skating to such overused music. Still the knees are beautiful.

Shoma is magical. I know not everyone likes his FS. But, I think he makes this music work in figure skating in a way that almost no other skater could... Each movement captures your eye. I like his programs this year including his weirdo SP. I'm going to be so sad when he retires. And, like Yuma ... the knees....they are just amazing.

Lukas was enjoyable. He doesn't have "the knees" of the top two but he is a wonderful performer.

Very enjoyable competition.

I'm with you in the minority. I absolutely LOVE both Shoma's programs this season.
