That was (mostly) a very good men's event. I wish there was a pewter medal for Adam, as his free was also outstanding.
Ilia - I don't mind the rough blade work so much when the jumps are that light and easy. I also don't mind this costume direction - though maybe make the jacket look less like a track suit jacket? The white piping is weird. The PCS should be lower, but still enough to win this event on the strength of those quads.
Shoma - beautiful program, just sublime skating. This program is definitely growing on me.
Yuma - he has such a lightness and crispness to his skating that makes him so nice to watch. If he could return to his previous technical difficulty, he would be my pick for 2026 gold.
Adam - great skate after the disaster in the short. I really love this program, and hope he is able to get another couple of clean skates with it this season.
Kao - poor kid looked sick. I'm so impressed with how well he performed. From my experience as an ER doc, I'm much more used to men acting like children when they get a GI illness.
Kevin - oh Kevin. Well the first element and the last element were both really well done.
At the men's medal ceremonies - love the Chinese official who is like "screw it, i'm wearing my comfy sneakers".
