Worlds 2024 Men SP: ‘No Fan-ada?’

[TAHbKA]

wow.

 

[Kateri]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

 

[PRlady]

Oh my god. That was perfect. I think he must have little engine gizmos on the bottom of his skates to send him down the ice like that.

ETA: jetpacks! Couldn’t think of the word.

 

[MacMadame]

Yesssssss. I was not breathing for like 15 seconds.

Four minutes for me.

I love Imagine Dragons, the choreography, the skating, and Yuma in general.

 

[Allen]

Carolina looks kinda...old...

Maybe Georgian fed lady is stealing her youth and that's why we saw cleavage last night.

 

[Frau Muller]

I’m flying with every glide by Yuma!!!
The loud French-Canadian announcer also going nuts! Brava, Tonia, for learning to out-mouth him at the right time!

 

[Lara]

Took all freaking season but finally am a Believer in this SP.

Seriously that was great.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Well-deserved standing O for Kagiyama!

 

[Wyliefan]

Carolina looks kinda...old...

If a perfectly normal 37-year-old woman looks old to you, it says a lot more about you than about her.

 

[Simone411]

Yes! 106.35! Finally!

[thvu]

STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH!

 

[Karen-W]

Short version Jason does not have a quad and should not be in first. Same old, same old...

But this is the same group that whines about a lack of artistry and then whines when it gets rewarded. And whines when USFS sends Jason to Worlds even though history shows the international judges will reward him

Oh, for FFS! The guys in 2nd-4th behind him had TWO quads and all skated well enough to beat him. The judges did dirty and so did the tech panel today in rewarding Jason for his insufficient tech content.

 

[tony]

Components in the 9.25 range. Finally.

 

[Wyliefan]

Somewhere Ilia just made his decision about the 4A.

 

[ainouta]

That was way more than 0.5 points better than Jason on PCS...

 

[jenny12]

Yuma is a blessing to this sport and this earth

 

[Carolla5501]

honestly i should hate that program because i don't like the music and yet i'm invested and into it the entire time

I had to work in the office today an forgot my earbuds so I am watching without sound... interestingly I don't miss the sound

 

[Rukia]

Components in the 9.25 range. Finally.

ok but what if they were higher

 

[marbri]

If a perfectly normal 37-year-old woman looks old to you, it says a lot more about you than about her.

Repeat. It's comments like that that cause women to turn themselves into ducks.

Anyway Yuma!

 

[tony]

ok but what if they were higher

They will be in the free skate

 

[Habs]

Short version Jason does not have a quad and should not be in first. Same old, same old...

The actual version is he stalked and underrotated his 3A and was very clearly outskated by at least four men who are currently behind him in the standings.

And I say this as someone who adores Jason.

 

[airgelaal]

Oh, no

 

[Karen-W]

Kao - eeeeeeesh... That 3a almost went down. That should be enough, though, I'm sure, for the judges to slide Jason into the last group for the FS. Argh - and down on the 4T - which will absolutely guarantee Jason no worse than 6th.

 

[Rukia]

They will be in the free skate

but i want it now

also kao miura is so chaotic i love that you never know what he's going to do

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, shoot. Kao has reportedly had such great practices here, I thought he might play spoiler. Left it in practice, I guess.

 

[tony]

0 points because +COMBO not added to the entry. It will. He will still get his 5 or whatever points from it.

 

[Habs]

Miura :

 

[thvu]

Kao just had so much air time in the 4sal. The way he just floated down into the running edge was great.

Sigh, then a q on the 3axel and invalid element for the combo. SIGH.

Litvintsev for the free?

 

[Spikefan]

Nooo, I love this program and wanted it clean here.
