I like Shoma myself, but Boyang has improved so much in the last year that it’s honestly a bit mind-boggling. The skating skills have always been there, and, in the words of Kurt Browning, “I worship that 4Lz.” What really sealed it for me was how much Boyang has added to his short over the season; he’s actually made it richer over time, not taken away choreo to make it more consistent. So I’d love to see him take first at Worlds, assuming he delivers two clean skates, as he’s typically criminally undermarked despite taking the hard road to genuine improvement. And, man, has it ever paid off.
(Seriously, if you’d told me a year ago that Boyang’s OWG short would give me chills, I would have told you that you weren’t sober.)
....why is Boyang 4th? How was his skate compared to the rest? Expected Nathan to be 1st since judges seem to turn a blind eye on the rest of his skating.
Shake it off and skate lights-out in the Free.
