Skate America 2024 Mens SP - Texas Bro Down

[Karen-W]

Kao - gutting this out given the leg injury he's dealing with - clean 4s+3t followed by a buttery 3a! This is not a program I'd have ever expected from him - or most Japanese guys - but I mostly associate Woodkid with American guys, thanks Nathan & Ilia, lol. Good 4t! I really like this for him. He has a lot of passion and commitment!

 

[Spikefan]

Wow, I was not expecting that based on practice! Great job Kao!

That wind noise was throwing me. Sounds like my dog crying. Or like I’m riding the Matterhorn at DL.

Never mind. Apparently my neighbor is sawing something. I thought it was Miuras music!

 

[Rukia]

He was flying into those jumps. It was so impressive.

 

[Sally1214]

Well done, Kao! I'm SO glad he got to skate BEFORE Ilia.

Miura: 4s/3t lovely. Floaty 3A Flying camel. 4t huge great run out. Combo spin good, but least effective part of the program so far. Koa trying to get his inner Siao Him-Fa on in the steps but not achieving that. Sit spin to end.

Enjoyable and very good for early in the season.

Completely unexpected from Miura too. He literally looked ready to withdraw the last two days. This did not happen in practice at all. Amazing!

 

[Belsornia]

Good to see Miura seems to have worked on his spin issues since last season.

Would never have guessed he’s carrying an injury from that programme.

 

[JoannaLouise]

That was so powerful and fierce the whole way through!

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

grandpaWhat'd he do off ice?

Mainly be coached and supported by Eteri. And really other than being a jumping bean which if coached by Eteri I don’t trust isn’t without he has no redeeming qualities to his skating.

 

[danafan]

Miura was amazing wow.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK are we going to get any tricky-poos from Ilia now or is he saving it for tomorrow?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I haven't stayed current with a lot of skating news. Where is Eteri based out of now?

Wherever the money is

 

[kwanfan1818]

OMG, that was amazing from Miura!!!!!!

 

[Karen-W]

I haven't stayed current with a lot of skating news. Where is Eteri based out of now?

Pretty sure she's still in Moscow.

 

[jenny12]

Incredible from Kao! The speed and power was god tier!

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Great skate from Miura! Showing everyone how to get it done. He is back!! Huge score for him.

 

[Citlali]

Miura

The 4 toe covered a lot of ice

Loved the step sequence

 

[kwanfan1818]

Where is Eteri based out of now?

She is a citizen of the world

 

[canbelto]

Is that an actual hoodie or a faux hoodie?

 

[kwanfan1818]

Malinin's wearing REI chic.

 

[Wyliefan]

I kind of like the airbrushed hoodie. Don't kill me.

 

[genevieve]

Oh lawsy that airbrushed hoodie is just embarrassing

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh dear, I thought in the warm up this top was his warm-up top? This is the costume?

 

[ilovesalchows]

Is he going to put a hood on at the end too?

 

[NinjaTurtles]

T shirt painted to look like a hoodie

 

[Wyliefan]

Is that an actual hoodie or a faux hoodie?

I think it's a mock hoodie. Like a mock turtleneck.

 

[Desperado]

I kind of like the airbrushed hoodie. Don't kill me.

Same.

 

[thvu]

Ilia skating with some nerves. He almost bumbled the transition into the 3axel.

 

[canbelto]

I think this program suits Ilia. He seems like a rather chill teen off ice.
