Worlds 2024 Men FS: ‘Putting the Eh? in Standing Ovation’

[peibeck]

That was anemic from Shoma and the music doesn't help. I do love his skating, but I didn't feel him or either of his programs this year.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Okay, now, if Adam loses a medal because he threw the backflip...

it will be his own damn fault

 

[Lanie]

Daaaamn

After that lots of murmuring around

 

[tony]

4 points short.

Medal for Adam.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, now, if Adam loses a medal because he threw the backflip...

He will have learned a lesson

This is like watching a random OES event in the early 2000s at this rate.

 

[Colonel Green]

Well, that has to be embarrassing (even though with his trophy case, he’s obviously fine).

 

[Spikefan]

Chaos.

 

[Sarah]

Go Yuma!

 

[susieB129]

HOLY SH*T

 

[Sally1214]

[thvu]

Uh, I’m really happy for Adam.

 

[Wyliefan]

YUMA IF YOU BLOW THIS I SWEAR

 

[Kaz7714]

Ohhhhhh, Adam. Bless the backflip. Yikes. So pleased while sorry for Uno

 

[airgelaal]

Let it rain!

 

[tony]

Just so you guys understand how far up Adam is going to climb, the skaters in 10th place (Miura) would need 200 points in the LP to stay ahead of him. The skater in 8th needs around 195. The skaters in 4th, 5th, and 6th need like 190.

Adam's finishing no lower than 5th, and even that is putting a lot of hope onto Miura.

The medal race is totally there for him, too.

Welp.

 

[Matryeshka]

The king is dead. Long live the king

 

[Carolla5501]

Is this the biggest jump to get a medal ever at a world championships? I honestly can’t remember a skater from the first group getting a medal before.
