Oh, Sota
. I love this program so much (mainly because I love Sogno di Volare) and Sota performs it so well. This was a real disaster skate though, and nowhere near what he's capable of. I really hope he keeps both these programs for next season, because they're my two faovurites of his - that choreo sequence is just incredible.

At least he’s medaling in something?

Nothing seems to go for Sota today. What a pity! And I put him in 4th in my prediction.

Sota gave us a masterclass in music interpretation and recovering jump combos ! He may be cactus-ing his way through, but we love him nonetheless. Hopefully he has done enough this year to at least get a 4CC spot.

Sota doing poorly is bad for my predictions, but Tatsuya still in first is good for my predictions…

Yuma got a new costume (RIP to the feminist-uterus-bull, you will be dearly missed) and now he and Nobu are twinning 
and I see Kao is cosplaying as a Newsie?

But since I didn’t necessarily predict my ideal outcome, skating gods, I wouldn’t mind a few things going better than I expected…

I'm curious what placement JSF would want Nobunari Oda to achieve here to get assigned one of the ISU championships.

This is ridiculous, it is late at night, I have these boys on one stream, Yuzu's show on another, the link to the Russian women if I can catch a breath on a third... and I'm supposed to be finishing an exegesis in the meantime (there's always 6 tomorrow morning, I guess)
Again, the things we do...

Kao is gonna go hard...
SO he's either gonna be absolutely fabulous or a complete disaster
Edit: He better be flawless coz that costume sure isn't!

I would imagine placing higher than Sena Miyake would help his chances immenselyI'm curious what placement JSF would want Nobunari Oda to achieve here to get assigned one of the ISU championships.
