So glad it's not just me.

lol i'm actually nervous for yuma why am i like this

Because he's the best skater in the history of the sport and people with good taste recognize this

 

[Jay42]

I'm nervous for Yuma too

 

[thvu]

Yesssssss. I was not breathing for like 15 seconds.

 

[Rukia]

that sal should be in a museum

 

[Wyliefan]

Everyone can relax, Jason's reign is over.

Me, you, and @Rukia will just have to drag everyone kicking and screaming until they see the light.

 

[tony]

that sal should be in a museum

As should the toe+toe. The Axel isn't quite as effortless and perfect, but my God. I really do believe he's the best ever and he still has a lot more room to go. This music isn't even something that's like wow a work of art, but the skating makes it all just so wonderful.

 

[peibeck]

Kagiuama on fire. That 4s was HUGE. Great ice coverage. This should beat Brown's PCS, but I have doubts the judges will agree.

 

[thvu]

Yuma's step sequences give me chills.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Yuma is back!

Amazing He really sails through these elements with such ease, and the smoothness of every landing, and transition is world class.

106.35 = 1st Place

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Wow Yuma!

 

[Jay42]

Loved that from Yuma! I love how much his skating has improved since he added Carolina to his coaching team.

 

[Karen-W]

Absolutely glorious jumps for Yuma today! And that step sequence!

Well, there's no way the judges will be able to low-ball him on PCS to keep Jason in the lead!

 

[Lizziebeth]

Because he's the best skater in the history of the sport and people with good taste recognize this

I fear for your life if the Fanyus hear you say this

 

[Habs]

Who is the best skater ever and why is it Yuma?!?

SUBLIME. I love him so much. Give him all the points and all the medals.

 

[airgelaal]

I'm a believer!

 

[slicekw]

Ok, I’m a believer, Kagiyama!

 

[Carolla5501]

Okay, I missed Jason (and everyone before) because I was part of a dissertation defense and the student decided he needed to talk for 2 hours and the professor in charge kept encouraging him to go on. Can someone tell me if the issue with Jason was the lack of technical content or just overall over scoring?

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

 

[susieB129]

YUMAAAAAAAAA! He's my pick to win the whole thing, and he didn't disappoint!

 

[Rukia]

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

 

[Ananas Astra]

Carolina looks kinda...old...

 

[marbri]

someone needs to muzzle whoever that human is that keeps coming through on the ISU feed

 

[Allen]

Believer just isn't great music for skating in my opinion, but the technical elements were FABULOUS

 

[tony]

I fear for your life if the Fanyus hear you say this

I've been saying it since the fall of 2021 , they can kiss my ass and then go whine on Twitter about how I was mean

 

[thvu]

I'm just so happy we get to enjoy Yuma's skating at the world stage like this again. He has been so missed.

 

[Simone411]

Everyone can relax, Jason's reign is over.

Who knows with these judges!

 

[ainouta]

If Yuma doesn't beat Jason on PCS

 

[Hanna]

Yuma Also, having Kostner with you in the K'n'C should be automatic +5 points to the score
