2026 Olys Mens SP PBP - A Minion Ways to Dies (Irae)

[Lara]

No Kao!!!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Miura is not doing it to me.
I like the music

 

[umronnie]

Noooooo

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh no.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Noooooooo Kao!

 

[Karen-W]

Oh no! 2s+3t to open... He's going to need a miracle to qualify for the FS. Whew - great 3a!

 

[MacMadame]

Miura wearing the non-sparkly version of Kevin's vest

They both look like they are in a video game and the program forgot to render half their armor.

 

[genevieve]

oof, Miura

 

[overedge]

Copyright police are going to get those three guys with the yellow hi-vis vests and white helmets at rinkside #JusticeForMinions

 

[Private Citizen]

2S+3T and down on 4T. TBH this shouldn’t qualify given the level of skating today but I guess they’ll PCS him through.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

This is an excellent SP which would have been a riot, but he was hopeless on the jumps.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Che disastro

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Miura looks terrified

ugggghhhhhh

 

[umronnie]

Oy vey

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

sigh.... I wanted a good skate for Kao

 

[Nadin]

Kao looking a bit frantic out there tonight, such a shame.

 

[miffy]

I feel so bad for Miura having a broken skate at the Olys - what a nightmare Hopefully he can get a new one broken in and come back strong at Worlds.

 

[Sylvia]

I read that Kao had to insert pieces of cardboard into his broken right boot! He didn't want to use his backup pair.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh God... Fall on the 4t. I think his TES and PCS will be enough get him to the FS.

 

[skatfan]

Kao…

 

[skatingguy]

Kao Miura
Coach: N. Sato, N. Fukui, K. Okajima
Music: Conquest of Spaces by Woodkid

2S+3T
3A
Flying Camel Spin 4
4T - step out, fall
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Sit Spin 4 (2 after review)

Kind of par for the course with Kao these days.

-1.00 = Falls
Q 76.77 = 16th Place

 

[slicekw]

Here’s hoping the Japanese Fed don’t punish Kao for one bad skate. He’s amazing to watch and I really hope for more of him in the next quadrennial.

 

[tangerine dream]

Kao-tastrophe

 

[MacMadame]

2S+3T and down on 4T. TBH this shouldn’t qualify given the level of skating today but I guess they’ll PCS him through.

It's going to be tight. His scores are below Li at the moment. Oh PCS just went up a bit. We'll see.

 

[Spikefan]

I’m guessing he is in a new boot as this one is not taped. Horrible time to have this happen.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

2S+3T and down on 4T. TBH this shouldn’t qualify given the level of skating today but I guess they’ll PCS him through.

His TES is higher than Tomas, so I don't think they'll need to.

 

[floridaice]

Which boot is broken?

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, Kao .... what could have been.

 

[Kateri]

Oh nooooo. At least he only needs 70 to stay ahead of Tomas and Q, but yikes.

 

[reckless]

2S+3T and down on 4T. TBH this shouldn’t qualify given the level of skating today but I guess they’ll PCS him through.

He's still higher than Guarino-Sabate in TES. And PCS isn't close.
