Japan



Almost full lucky clovers but that was a great run!

I have NEVER liked that song but he has converted me!

 

[auser]

Gorgeous and fun skate from my beloved Yuma!

 

[Princessroja]

Wow! That was so much fun!

 

[GGFan]

Gorgeous skating by Yuma! So happy he’s putting all together at the Olympics. That step sequence is everything!

 

[snowflake]

Hah! that's how to do it... and he's satisfied and happy

Yuma - fantastic. The best short program by far from the last quad in pretty much any discipline, and he absolutely sold that.

 

[DonnaR]

I love this program for Yuma - it's brilliant!

 

[Karoltyna]

This program is Yuma extruding joy of skating we all need to see

 

[Colonel Green]

Malinin's tech is what it is, but Kagiyama remains my favourite current men's skater to watch.

 

[Skatingcat]

Wow. What a skate!!!

 

[Arriba627]

Come on Yuma. You got this. Don't disappoint all the JPN fans that are there. Beautiful 4T3T, 4S, and 3A. Love the way he brings the fun vibe. Wow he really sold that. Congrats. 104 maybe? Correction 108!!!!

Good job Yuma!! This will put pressure on Ilia. Ilia is best skater in the world but, in SP, Yuma is not far behind.
Should be 105+ score

 

[cocteautwin]

Yuma Thank you for the masterclass of textbook figure skating

 

[pesto]

thanks so much - but it's showing speed skating live even though the title says figure skating

So annoying! And it's not even live speed skating. They could show it any time.

 

[Demandred]

Magical Yuma, that quad sal showed his incredible knee bend. His step sequence is really special.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Good skate. Surprisingly I saw him skate it better..should get a 100 if not a 110.
Challenge ilia.
He is reigning silver and bronze medalist and team silver

 

[snowflake]

Pressure on Ilia?

This will be interesting going into the free skate. Go go did everything he possibly could to put Canada into a metal position. I suspect he will have a great free skate as well, so it will all be up to what happens with Maddie and Trennt and Lia.

I presume Zack and Marjorie were subbed in for the free dance because the dance positions are predictable enough that it won't matter points-wise..?

well it would matter because the main competition is Italy. Piper and Paul can place ahead of Italy. Can LaLa do this ?

 

[momrk]

That was unbelievably amazing
