March 25, 20233 yr Overall, I'm quite happy with the judging. Remember everyone here saying skating would become just jumps? It didn't happen, at least not yet. Shoma as always is a blend of good skating and quads, Junhwan was frickin' amazing (also a blend of good skating and quads), and Ilia who is the only one in that top group who is purely a jumper, settles for bronze. I had a huge fear that Ilia would get a PCS quad bonus, but the judges really held back. I'm surprised but not surprised. Each Olympic cycle they sort of do a reset and that seems to have happened... for the moment. The skating in general was really good. Jason, Kevin, even Keegan held it together when he's so often fallen apart. I found it to be really enjoyable today. I am so happy for the entire final flight, and a few good skates before it. Very entertaining. Lol. I find it funny (but not haha funny), that they forced Yuzu out, but then reward his type of skating once he was gone (meaning quality over quantity). He could have easily won this with how the judging was. Pretty sad.
March 25, 20233 yr 4A really is a monster. It takes all the energy out of a skater. There's just no performance there.

He could've gotten it. He just needs Shoma to be judged correctly on the tech side. PS: Even Belinda called it out.

He could have easily won this with how the judging was. Pretty sad. It was a surprising good men's FS. Judging was okay except Shoma as usual overscored, the GOE for the 4Flip is ridiculous. I know a lot will not agree but the PCS for a quite empty program??? I loved Jun, Kevin, Jason great 👍
March 25, 20233 yr No one impressed me My eyes searched for the YUZU.... yes they jump but no emotion 2021 WC LMEY'i tekrar izledim
March 25, 20233 yr Really a little unfair, there was actually less jumping than usual, Jun, Kevin and Jason put a lot of emotion into their skating but they didn't had a lot of 4ds. Yes Yuzu is the only one to have 4 and performance! Shoma is so overrated, lacking tech on his jumps in a empty quite boring program

I loved Jun, Kevin, Jason great 👍 It's true Shoma's program was a bit empty (but no different than his other programs), but i guess that since transitions are no longer a separate category, and his skating skills are excellent... the edges, speed and flow... those all counted towards it. And he does present well, hitting the notes and skating to the music. At least he didn't get PCS like Jason and he didn't deserve to... and judges finally agreed .... (how on earth Nathan beat Jason on PCS, I'll never understand that one). And yeah, the GOEs on that flip are crazy.
March 25, 20233 yr Oh my, I just saw fancam of the women's FS floating on Youtube. Is taking video allowed in comps in Japan now?
