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 :2thumbsup: (it was very difficult in 2018 and 2022...). YES, Adam really surprised me with a three-figure score for the Special, :peace2: :woop: and he seemed relaxed and at ease (well done to Kevin too). As for the rest : we'll see about the Freestyle on Friday :fingerscrossed: for Adam.
