2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[Wyliefan]

Yuma ...

 

[Private Citizen]

Shaidorov should be up to silver now. Yuma’s basic skating really suffers with all of these mistakes and barely landed jumps. I’d have this below Torgashev but expect it will be held up higher. In no fair universe should it medal.

 

[Colonel Green]

There's an off-chance that that thin point spread between Sato and the other 270s guys might turn out to be very relevant.

 

[marbri]

And it's not Yuma's day today.

I still have no idea why he decided to add in the 4F after not going for it most of the season.

This is getting ugly. Also, did I not call it over in the Trash Can a couple weeks ago that we were going to have a shocking result in the men's competition here?

Well you also called Canada not making team final and C&B winning gold

 

[made_in_canada]

(((Yuma)))

 

[tangerine dream]

Yuma Sasha Cohening?

Sasha only had two jump mistakes.

 

[Skaterbob]

This shouldn't be in front of Sato....

 

[slicekw]

Kagiyama not just erroring, but he seems slower than usual. Now I’m wondering if the ice has gotten too warm or it’s the skate damage from the TE. I’m bummed for him. Not what we wanted to see.

Small note: damn, if I recognize this bit of Turandot, I ought to go see the damned opera.

 

[flyingsit]

Who the hell thought the men’s long on Friday the 13th was a good idea?

Not the competition that Yuma would have wanted, or that many of us would have wanted for him.

SP: 103.07 = 2nd Place
-1.00 = Falls
FS: 176.99 = 6th Place
Total: 280.06 = 2nd Place

 

[bardtoob]

Is their something wrong with Yuma's skates?

He was doing a lot right but it wasn't going right.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

does Sato end up on the podium instead?

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

Oooof I don't know. How do you reward this with a silver? Even bronze?

 

[skategal]

Oh dear…poor Yuma.

Hope he can hang on for a medal.

 

[Karen-W]

I don't think even you can call the reining world silver medalist getting a medal as a shocking result.

I'm not. I did say, though, that I thought Shun could beat Yuma for the silver medal. and I hope I'm right about a medal because this was a shitshow of a program from Yuma that doesn't deserve to beat Shun.

 

[peibeck]

Speechless, and not in a good way.

 

[Aceon6]

Poor Kagi. That 2nd half looked like work. No joy. Skates looked heavy.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Sasha only had two jump mistakes.

And she won a silver medal, which Yuma will not. He will probably win bronze, but, even as a huge Yuma fan, I don't know that I wish he would.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Should be enough for 2nd so far

 

[Lizziebeth]

Poor Yuma, that program doesn't really suit him. What a disaster for him and Japan.

 

[my little pony]

sadly there's no piper and Paul equivalent for this event and I may have to eat my feelings

 

[Citlali]

Yuma

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Just off the whole skate really

 

[beckab81]

The SP lead means he'll stay on the podium (barring invalidated elements or massive calling of UR's), but that was a ROUGH skate.

 

[Kaz7714]

I really hope Ilia is going to be clean now because this competition is really not easy to watch.
Am devastated for Adam and Yuma.

 

[SlavicaK]

Cursed, cursed, cursed. First Adam, now Yuma!

 

[Spikefan]

Sato should be bronze, sad for Yuma but that was mess (and I hate this Disneyfied version).

 

[slicekw]

What in the Friday the 13th is happening

Best comment of the night!

 

[Firedancer]

Poor Yuma

 

[tangerine dream]

Where did this come from? He looked good in practice. It must be the worst FS he's had in years.
