And what part of being the "chairman" suggests to you that he wasn't the one in charge? I do NOT understand why there's this idea out there that Yuzu's somehow not the boss of the very shows he creates. And NS was very much his idea.

I don't know what translation you're reading but in the English translation, Yuzu says right there in that interview that he was the one who wanted to collaborate with Uchimura and create something new. And Uchimura has also said that Yuzu was the one who asked him. Also, the 'hula hoop lady' has a name - Violetta Afanasieva - and posted on her Instagram thanking Yuzu for inviting her to the show. NS might not have been a solo show in the sense that it was only Yuzu, but Yuzu organized it as a 3/11 tribute. It wouldn't exist at all if Yuzu hadn't thought of it.

So, because I like to torture myself, I checked out protocols and tried to figure out where Keegan would have placed if he'd gone clean... he lost at least 10 pts just in BV on the popped axel and missed spin, which eould have been enough to move him up to 6th, behind Jason. Assuming he'd have got + GOE and so on, the best he could have done was compete with Jason for 5th... I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or worse...

Yuzu. It was Yuzu. The Notte Stellata show was 100% Yuzu. He produced it. He called it into being. He invited the other skaters personally. He has said as much and so have they. Just like Continues with Wings. Professional skater Yuzu is the CEO of his own life, as well as the King.

I must say, Kaori has taken to being World champ like a duck to water! She was made for this 🤩🥰

Especially if judges continue to save the higher scores for the later-skating groups, which makes a joke out of the BV+GOE system and effectively turns it back into the old, bad, reputation-based 6.0 system.

Pretty sure it's still not. Someone must have snuck that

100%, and Mark also mentioned several times that Jason's kind of skating is what the fans want.

In fact, if Jason and Jun are any indication, it's going the other way

True but compared to last year when he had to withdraw because his boot was broken beyond repair, this is perfect.

He's not going anywhere, so there's always next year. I'm delighted to see him skating so well. I want to know what Keegan's result would have been if he'd gone clean. I figure he lost about 15 - 20 points.

I have many thoughts about the last 3 skaters and their scores, But I'm very satisfied with what Shoma did here

Yes but why not give him 200, judges? 😡

Such a yummy Juna Bauer! Ilia landed that Not so much 4F or 4Lz. Touch-and- go there

Ah that 1A.. bugger. I'm going to miss him! Bond hwan Cha, let's go!

Go Keegan!

Oh, Kevin's going so nicely. SO nice to see him back in good form after the past two years

Score: 185. I think he could have got 190 if the judges really wanted.

Another incredibly perfect skate from Jason. No quads.

Here's hoping Keegan remembered his phone so we get cute baby pictures! And I'm not saying this to be mean, but I think Shoma's proposed layout is a dream in Technicolor. Does he really think he's in shape for 3 quads in a row? Go Jason!

Kazuki was wonderful! Not a clean skate, but a terrific showpiece

I know that, and even so, I'm still astonished this time.

Is everyone as livid about the ice dance judging as I am? Madison FELL and they still got a 134 and won gold! What in the name of Nebuchednazar is this garbage judging?! And I say that as someone who actually does like them as a team. But eff right the h*ll off with that kind of scoring, please, oh most esteemed fools of judges.... Are they on glue?!

Who's watching ice dance?
