[caseyedwards]

At least he won’t be second again

 

[misskarne]

wow. Wasn't expecting that at all.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Life is so unfair sometimes

 

[4rkidz]

Aww poor guy the pressure got to him, he is still young and lots of time. Good experience.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, honey.

 

[slicekw]

Heartbreak

 

[peibeck]

Yuma, you didn't need to do your best to make Torgy feel better.

 

[Kaz7714]

Uff, that was hard to watch ...

I think the energy in the building got to him. He's been so good so far in his career at peeking at big events, but this time it didn't come together.

171.10 = 9th Place
278.19 = 2nd Place

 

[LilJen]

All right come on Yuma, I'm down for a Shaidorov silver but I'm not here for a Siao Him Fa medal.

I think Adam may have catapulted up to bronze. . . second year in a row.

 

[overedge]

Aw, bless him, he never gave up.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

The skate gods really do taketh away sometimes.

 

[Citlali]

Noooo Yuma you are ruining my good juju and vibes

Can't all my favorites do their best in one night?

 

[misskarne]

So is now a good time to mention Jason is still third in the FS?

 

[Badams]

Not what anyone wanted for Yuma. He should be a multiple world champion. In a different timeline, he would be. He's such a beautiful skater.

 

[Vagabond]

Actually, forget Shaidorov, I think Adam is getting his second comeback bronze in a row.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

 

[Karen-W]

At least Japan is going to keep their 3 spots. There's no way that's going below Junhwan.

He may wind up behind Shun. We'll see.

 

[miffy]

..

Yuma was 20 points higher in the SP and Adam made a couple of mistakes… I would love to see Adam get bronze but way too tired to be able to count

 

[Rukia]

So is now a good time to mention Jason is still third in the FS?

No it's not

 

[Lilia A]

Yuma

 

[Private Citizen]

Yes, second quad was under.... "it's in the system as clean" has become my favorite commentator snark ever .

 

[miffy]

At least he won’t be second again

You’re a bundle of joy as always

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

I wanted Adam on the podium, but it's hard watching Yuma falter that badly.

 

[Kaz7714]

The skate gods really do taketh away sometimes.

They were really greedy today

 

[misskarne]

Yes, second quad was under.... "it's in the system as clean" has become my favorite commentator snark ever .

Her puzzled tone was what made that.

 

[Karen-W]

Wow. Damn. He held on for bronze.

[Private Citizen]

RIDICULOUS judging that this program still medals.

He gave away way more than the 20 points he had on Siao Him Fa.

 

[Sally1214]

Aww .... what a shame. The worst time to have an off day. Oh well, these things happen. Come back next year stronger than ever, Yuma.

 

[my little pony]

wow that math gave me whiplash
