Wait wouldn't it have to be the Bube to properly assimilate?

Stuffie-lanche! I love it!

Although I guess the next guy up might not

Bublé's voice is so much more pleasant.

Who are the people with black jackets and neon yellow letters? Security guards?

 

[icewhite]

Beautiful quad Lutz but very labored steps. No flow and slow skating.

but better than before

Those water bottles in the KnC seem mean - like that refreshing water right there...but not for you!

Hmm, long score wait...

 

[4everchan]

I don't know. Improved yes. To the point fans mention it ? Not for me. I think the judges did well here with 76 PCS.

I know it's Ed Sheeran, but it really does work for Boyang, it's kind of cheesy and it was also somehow made for him. That was probably the best I've seen him skate that and obviously the crowd loves him... All those stuffies <3 <3 Just a really nice skate, some mess-ups, but just wow! The quad lutz especially was incredible.
AND A SEASONS BEST <3 <3 <3 CURRENTLY IN FIRST <3 <3

Oh dear.

It's the latter but Chris is pronouncing it "Yin" at times and I honestly don't understand where he is getting that pronunciation from... But, whatever, it's hardly the only name that he's gotten wrong. None of us are perfect.

Sota has to remind us he's the cactus emperor of Japan afer all

A good recovery from a tough opening, but not quite as solid as at Nationals.

depends if you're @balabam

Sota, like almost all Japanese skaters, has beautiful skating skills but unlike other Japanese male skaters usually has next to zero choreo or expression. He was better today. More connected to the music, I think.

Might be some ur's here

Chris : we do get tired of this piece... even when it's wonderful Sota using it.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Rough start, but the rest of the program was great - Well done, Sota! I am sick of this piece of music, but he does have nice flow to match it.
