Worlds 2025 Men Short Program: “Abraquadabra”

[Holy Headband]

Now, in a just world (or somewhere other than Boston)... but anyway. It's the skating that counts!

 

[4rkidz]

wow Yuma is like a cat, he is so smooth in his skating skills and flow, especially noticeable after Ilia. I am curious how his SS get compared to Ilia. Jumps obviously Ilia has the edge but skills I would give to Yuma, both of them amazing skaters.

 

[Marta24]

I love, love, LOVE Yuma's skating.

 

[peibeck]

YUMA!!!! Sublime!!!!!!

 

[itsartemis]

What a great end to this SP competition. Standing ovation from me!!

 

[rfisher]

Yuma vs Ilia. They could just skip all the rest for the FS and let them fight it out. Beautiful skate.

Stunning

Kagiyama, and Malinin just at a different level compared to the rest of the competition.

107.09 = 2nd Place

 

[Karen-W]

Good for Yuma for living up to the intense pressure of following Ilia like that! Keeping the FS interesting!

 

[MsZem]

Either the judges give Yuma the top PCS on the night or I WILL make them sorry.

Very sorry.

 

[genevieve]

I love that! He IS young, I find it adorable

He's not that young

 

[Badams]

That was absolutely beautiful. I could watch him all day.

 

[floridaice]

Give Yuma all the PCS points

 

[Lizziebeth]

Yuma is absolutely fabulous, what a pressure skate!!!!

 

[Rukia]

Wow completely exceeded my high expectations absolutely glorious

 

[peibeck]

The 4S was a cat like landing.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, that was just kind of perfect from Yuma. I know his jumps weren't as difficult BUT it looks to me like he has better speed and flow than Ilia. What a treat we've had this afternoon in this event.

 

[Citlali]

Yuma

Such a wonderful competition. The men really brought it

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Yuma should get at least 5 pts bonus for bringing us Carolina

 

[TAHbKA]

Kagiyama

I would have him first in the SP

 

[MsZem]

Yuma should get at least 5 pts bonus for bringing us Carolina

Invite her to the gala!!!!!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Caro in the Kiss and Cry!

 

[Matryeshka]

Forget Aymoz AND Malinin. THAT was a masterclass in skating. And to skate AFTER the reigning World Champ hit in front of a home crowd. Whatever he found to be able to do that, I hope he shares with Amber.

 

[genevieve]

I just saw Ilia's PCS scores, and I call BS.

Yuma should gets 10s relative to that, in a slightly fair world

Press conference live stream (not geoblocked) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq5d6_3yxHM


Unfortunately I have a preexisting commitment this evening and will miss the Pairs FS (except for part of the 1st group)

 

[floridaice]

higher PCS as it should be

 

[MacMadame]

With that small point difference in the SP, Yuma has a chance in the FS at least. The rest are fighting for Bronze.

 

[Matryeshka]

NOT A RUNAWAY. The LP is going to be a time.

 

[Vagabond]

This event started on a whimper and ended on a bang.

 

[Wyliefan]

He's not that young

He's some 30 years younger than me. He's an infant.
