2026 Four Continents Championships Men's Free Skate

[Karoltyna]

And with this surprising finish I'm going to the ice rink to practice my wonky and shaky skating

And won PCS with a fall in the SP.

It's not even PCS, even here I'm sure if I were to look at his protocols, I'll find that his Lutz has not been marked (!) or 'e', and that his 3A passes received too high GOE.

Miura winning is fine. Quads mean something in this sport, even if people don't want them to.

 

[4everchan]

Yes. And 4CC didn’t even have Ilia, Yuma or Shun

hey.. I just said that LOL

 

[RatedPG]

Great final flight and great competition

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I think I got 35 in men

I've completely forgotten what I predicted apart from Junhwan winning but I'm pretty sure I didn't have Boyang in the mix...

 

[Skating91]

Not a single q given to the Japanese as well, but so many messy landings!

 

[AlexBreeze]

OMG I just saw Jackie Wong say that Tomoki just announced his retirement? NOOO

He did it in K&C. I guess that's why Hamada was crying.

Its okay - with the unplanned new job and the boatload of HR stuff on top of my regular work, I haven't had a lot of time to devote to predictions. I am more mad about losing all my benefit time and working short through all the holidays. I am still mourning the loss of my old work life. Also much more upset with USA chaos.

Kao got 8.40 for the 4Lo and 6.24 for the first 4T. Quads with such mistakes just don't bring more points than good triples. Kao won due to SP lead and not due to multiple quads attempt today.

Congrats to Kao! Hope it is not rude to say that Junhwan won my heart today.

I love both Kao and Junhwan so I just want to spread my love to them both...

OMG I just saw Jackie Wong say that Tomoki just announced his retirement? NOOO

If this is true then NOOOO I just sent him a fan letter a couple of days ago!!!

Inherently, him attempting multiple quads means he got higher TES than he otherwise would have for similar mistakes.

Out of everything today, I'm most happy for Sota - first ever championship medal
After such a tough season with injuries and everything, glad he could finish off his season on a high note

 

[freedomlover]

.... is it worth rewatching the free skate? Just tuned in for the last group.

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

I love these little "fanart" drawings they were given at the medal ceremony!

I think it is, because the quality despite mistakes was far superior to EC.

Me too, I noticed they were of the actual skaters with their costumes!

 

[augusztus]

So Shaidorov moved up in the LP, but dropped overall?! He was 4th and 2nd = 5th?!

Ugh

 

[Mozartistique]

Watching the isu feed with delay :
Am I the only one to notice Hyungyeom Zayaked himself ? He usually does a 3A-2A and a 3Lz-eu-3S, or sticks to only one 3A, but did a 3A and 3A-3T here. He almost never tries a 3A in the second half without doing the first one in a combination. 2 3As, 2 3Ts and 2 3Lzs. After the 3A-3T he needed to stick to 3Lo and 3S as the last two tripples but mixed up his actual layout and his potential recovery layout.

 

[lileychristie]

LOL random but is anyone still on the stream post the medal ceremony??

It's showing some erratic flashing sequence of "Are you ready?", a dark rink and the Browns' free dance opening moves on repeat

 

[cocteautwin]

My alarm clock failed me and I missed entire event but waking up to the news that Kao is a champion feels amazing
Also, Japanese boys 1-3-4 with Jun winning free skate spoiling their sweep - I can't way to watch it.
Little bit sad fo Kazuki missing the podium although he skated well (judding by the score) but I only hope it will motivate him to continue.
LOCO should be red but nevermind
