I can't watch everyone's skates since I can only watch NBC highlights which means focusing on the US skaters but from what I saw Adam's skate was my favorite. He looked like he was having so much fun and was a joy to watch. Maxim was also great, I thought he was very musical and obviously it was an emotional moment for him. 

 

I have to say I'm not a huge fan of Yuma's short nor Ilia's. Ilia is all about the jumps and I just don't like Yuma's music choice. From the team event I know I don't like Ilia's program but it won't matter when he lands all those quads. Really hoping Adam makes it on the podium

 

Feeling a little empty after what I saw, it does feel like there is a lack of musicality in these programs

I'm lucky (like all Europeans) to see skateboarding live   (it was very difficult in 2018 and 2022...). YES, Adam really surprised me with a three-figure score for the Special,     and he seemed relaxed and at ease (well done to Kevin too). As for the rest : we'll see about the Freestyle on Friday   for Adam. 

It's also clear that Yuzu, from a musical point of view, is the TOP    in 2022.....

I think the scores from yesterday's sp, as compared to the performances,  actually sum it up quite well.

You have a point.

 

Anyway, Piper and Paul won the Olympics today! So pleased for them. ID needs more skaters like them.

Anyone else watching the men's free? 

It's good to see old faces but I'm finding Vasiliyevs' skating to be far less enjoyable than I remember it to be

[yuzuangel]
