Matteo. Great shirt. Really good program. Shame about the fall, but fantastic step sequence and combo spin.

CCoSp4 (travels a bit on last sit variation)
StSq4

SP: 102.96 (2nd) PB

Wow, it's going to be a Japanese sweep at the end of the day, and a probable 100-point score from Kao! Apart from the whole "he probably shouldn't be skating because's injured", I love this program for Kao - it works so well with his natural skating style, and he's so exciting to watch. He does such a good job performing this program in his own style. But he has got to work on his spins, those are the kind of points that help you break 100.

 

[Karoltyna]

Japanese men need at least 2 more spots for Worls

 

[Arriba627]

Unbelievable. Wait, this was with an injury?!?! Not as refined as Yuma, but his speed and energy is incredible. Give this guy a speeding ticket!!! His first score over 100. YES!!!

Ok, was this just a LITTLE better than last week's men's competition?!

 

[rabidline]

Clean!! I really love this program on Kao. Yes it's Benoit's but his speed and sheer energy just elevate the whole package.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

so his proud dad meeting him at the door is... i mean if he's also your son..

Well done!!! You've caught her off guard!!!

And comments like this is why I am glad that some of my "kids" have hot mothers! At least I have that to fall back on!

[YuBluByMe]

And Miura closes us out with a great skate! This is a great program for Miura, probably his best. Should go over 100.

 

[EdgeCall]

Great job by Miura. Maybe not quite as refined as Yuma, but the music is difficult and with his expressiveness he does a good one on it.

 

[Jeanie19]

Kao. That was amazing.
