2023 Grand Prix Final - Men SP: “The Quadruple Revolution”

[skatingguy]

Kao Miura
Coach: Noriko Sato, Nobuko Fukui, Koji Okajima
Music: This Place was a Shelter by O. Arnalds

4S - step back, was to be the combo
3A
Fly Camel Spin 4
4T+3T
Step Sequence 4
Ch Combo Spin 4
Ch Sit Spin 3

+COMBO on the quadruple Salchow looks like a input error that should be corrected. Not the skate that Miura wants if he's going to show that he's in the same league as Kagiyama & Uno.

94.86 = 3rd Place

Kao - does he have a clean SP in him? Slight turnout on the 4s, so that would be a nope. At least he did manage a 4t+3t combo, so this isn't a complete disaster. Won't be 1st, won't be last.

New costume alert for Ilia.

 

[airgelaal]

4А?!

 

[tony]

NO POINTS for that. How can he not know?

And no, he won’t get them back.

Double or triple Axel has to be done, 4A can be done as combo.

 

[Karen-W]

Ilia - OMG!!! swing on the 4a! Why does it have an X in the element box?!

 

[ChelleC]

ISU get your crap together, there's no way there should be no points for that 4A.

 

[leilaofpaper]

NO POINTS for that. How can he not know?

And no, he won’t get them back.

Double or triple Axel has to be done, 4A can be done as combo.

can’t it be done as the single jump?

 

[swissskate]

lol at the tracker not validating the 4Axel

 

[tony]

Guys read the rules

ETA- maybe I am wrong

 

[npavel]

NO POINTS for that. How can he not know?

And no, he won’t get them back.

Double or triple Axel has to be done, 4A can be done as combo.

it should be 2A or 3A as far as I know

4A - history

Ch Combo Spin 4

The quadruple Axel looked so easy. It's showing as invalid on the technical box. It should be changed. We'll see what happens when the score comes up.

106.90 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

it should be 2A or 3A as far as I know

He did a 3a. Why shouldn't the solo 4A count? That's a ridiculous rule and I cannot believe that his team and the USFS wouldn't have said something.

 

[airgelaal]

NO POINTS for that. How can he not know?

And no, he won’t get them back.

Double or triple Axel has to be done, 4A can be done as combo.

But as a solo jump?

 

[tony]

This is an interesting predicament actually. I might have to eat my words. It used to be that it couldn’t be an Axel type as the individual jump, but since it’s a 4A I’m really not sure.

 

[Frau Muller]

ILIA!!!!

Quad axel in SP - first!!!

I especially love his musical moves…the hand claps and the Raspberry jump!!!

 

[Kateri]

(i'm at work and can't watch but love the drama pbp, thank you)

 

[Karen-W]

You know, I sort of hope he doesn't get any credit from the 4A because it will drive home the point of how undervalued the jump is in its entirety.

Hell yeah! 4a got credited after all! He still deserves a bigger lead than that, especially making history!

 

[leilaofpaper]

Guys read the rules

ETA- maybe I am wrong

Rule book says any triple or quadruple jump for solo jump.

[leilaofpaper]

Oh no!

 

[swissskate]

well this x for Adam will stay

 

[airgelaal]

To be honest, 3A looked so-so. 4A looked better

 

[Karen-W]

Adam - doubled the 4z. Yeowch. Now, that will be an invalid element. Guts out a 4t+3t and salvaged what he can from this SP. I'd say he's taken himself out of the running for a medal but he came from a good 10+ points back at CoC to beat Shoma.

Damn.

88.36 = 6th Place

 

[Karen-W]

To be honest, 3A looked so-so. 4A looked better

Doing the 4A in the FS last season messed with the timing on his 3A, so that doesn't surprise me.

 

[tony]

I am looking through the rules and yup, I don’t see any mention of the Axel not being able to be repeated as a solo jump as long as it’s not the same jump done in the Axel block (which does have to be triple or double). I don’t know when that changed, could’ve been 5 years ago for all I know.

 

[Frau Muller]

Oh… Adam didn’t go Fa’ ‘Nuff…

Lol - we all freaked out and had a rulebook fight because the computer didn't know what it had encountered with that 4A! That's so on brand for the IJS.
