Arrgh!

 

[umronnie]

Noooooo

 

[Prancer]

LOL at Carolina Kostner bobbing her head to Yuma's music and nodding in approval.

**Malinin playing it save with quadruple flip, but still not as sharp as he can be.

** **Malinin playing it save with quadruple flip.
Not words we would’ve expected to see

 

[Karen-W]

And Yuma finishes the TE SP pattern.

 

[canbelto]

Oh no Yuma!

 

[itsartemis]

Stupid landing on that 3A.

 

[slicekw]

TBH, given his free, if I was Kagiyama, I’d want to be skating right before Ilia in the free. Ilia’s already been nervy, and a great Free could play into that. Of course, more points is more points, and that’s hard to beat.

 

[miffy]

Oh no Yuma Really not Japan's night!

 

[MsZem]

Carolina nodding in the background during Yuma's spin should be worth extra points.

 

[Colonel Green]

Damn, fumbled the easiest jump of the three.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Nooooooo, he was almost theeeere

 

[Braulio]

Yuma

 

[Private Citizen]

Too bad . Should still score super well. Should win PCS comfortably and have +3 to +5 everything else. I’d have him second and within striking distance.

 

[MacMadame]

Was that really 5+ better than Adam?

Yes.

Screamed SHIT when. Yuma biffed the 3A. Should still be in contention for a medal even Gold, but shit.

That pretty much seals the Gold for Malinin.

Q 103.07 = 2nd Place

 

[Spikefan]

Now I’m even more annoyed Japan didn’t win team gold.

 

[Carolla5501]

Forget the weird camera angles, my Peacock decided to cr@p out just as Ilia took his opening position.

I want to thank the Delta WiFi gods.

I missed one skater due to streaming issues. Much better than I expected between London and Atlanta for free WiFi

 

[floridaice]

That is a Step Sequence 4

 

[BaileyCatts]

Dammit Yuma.

 

[slicekw]

Japan has some skate god pissy at them today.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

We’re going straight to the wild wild west

 

[Citlali]

Yuma

Oh, the 3 axel

 

[Karen-W]

This is going to be soooo close between Yuma & Adam for 2nd in the SP. I think Yuma will take it, but I'd actually give it to Adam today.

 

[overedge]

In a fair world, Adam and Yuma's programs >>>> Ilia's program.

 

[Aceon6]

Still my favorite, and IMO the best constructed, short this year. Shame about the axel landing, but that costs him fewer points than messing up the solo quad or the combo.

 

[marbri]

Illia can jump but those programs from Yuma and Adam are just

 

[genevieve]

in a million depressions

a mostly good skate to a superior program that didn't quit with the mistake.

sigh

 

[personwhoishere]

Love this program for Yuma, he's so charming!

 

[Firedancer]

Not perfect like the team event but still this program is so good for him
