Worlds 2024 Men FS: ‘Putting the Eh? in Standing Ovation’

[Matryeshka]

For it just having had an ice resurface, that ice is scratchy as hell. This is why you don't Zamboni in the dark, kiddos.

 

[Karen-W]

It seems that a lot of these men want to keep Adam in the lead.

Crazy that there are only 10 skaters left and he's still got a 37 point cushion. Kao might close that distance if he can right the ship during the last half of the program and it looks like he's doing that.

 

[Rukia]

hold up y'all top 10 anime comebacks

 

[Kasey]

I like Miura's bondage shirt and very animated hair. Shame about some of the jumps

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Just got back from the gym. I trying to catch up as fast as I can. Just watched Adam. I can’t take him and his backflips seriously anymore. I mean what it at some point a one point deduction costs in like a bronze medal. And too much of a narrative and storytelling for a program. I look forward to what he puts out next year.

That spin is travelling all the way to some alternate anime universe

 

[Wyliefan]

Way to bring it back, kiddo!

 

[Vagabond]

Not eligible. Sorry.

 

[slicekw]

Kao is slaying this second half. Great back 2/3, actually.

GEO team goes to the rink side with all of them - the black haired weirdo, Maka, Berulava... where is Eteri?

Shopping for Chanel bags for the Ice Dance panel?

 

[Spikefan]

I think this was the only roadblock between Fa finishing at least 4th.

Sigh, Miura is like a Kagiyama-lite to me. I see so much wonderful quality in him and I think he has the potential to be the best in the world, too, but this is really a disaster for him.

I keep reminding myself he is young with tough competition. It’s not a walk in the park like it is for Ilia. Hope this is a learning experience.

 

[overedge]

Yep, next ISU rule change definitely needs to be no grabbing the judges' stand or posing in front of it.

 

[Jay42]

I'm glad Kao pulled it back together, shame about the beginning. That last minute was still awesome though.

That spin is travelling all the way to some alternate anime universe

And still got positive GOE

 

[peibeck]

Miura: I'm exhausted just watching. The amount of energy he's expending is INSANE. Great 4 toes, but jumps were so hit an miss. Second half of program he seemed more in control.

 

[LilJen]

Miura is so frantic and messy. This costume makes that impression even worse

His “I haven’t had a haircut in 6 months” look doesn’t help, either.

Kao MIURA
Coach: Noriko Sato, Nobuko Fukui, Koji Okajima
Music: Attack On Titan

4Lo<< - fall
4T
4S - tilted in the air, fall
Fly Camel Spin 2
3A+1Eu+3S
Step Sequence 3
4T+3T
3A+2A+SEQ
3F
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
Change Foot Combo Spin 3

-2.00 = Falls (2)

This is the most that Miura has stuck to a planned content sheet that I've seen this season. I don't know whether that affects his performances, but he always seems to have a different plan going into the competition day.

169.72 = 2nd Place
254.72 = 2nd Place

 

[overedge]

And still got positive GOE

I want those judges the next time I take a test.

 

[Karen-W]

His “I haven’t had a haircut in 6 months” look doesn’t help, either.

He and Frangi need to go find the nearest barbershop stat!

[airgelaal]

And another batman

 

[overedge]

Never mind the chairs for the leaders, I want a backstage camera on Adam as all these later skaters place below him

 

[Rukia]

what will it take to have Junhwan skate to his own singing starr andrews-style

 

[Jay42]

I forgot that Cha's costume is worse than Nordeback's

 

[Wyliefan]

Okay, Jun, give us one last good Batman!

 

[Sally1214]

Kao has everything he needs to be right at the top of the pack. Just needs to be able to put it all together in one program. Very strong jumps in the latter part of that program when (as Mark said) there was nothing to lose. At least, he didn't give up.

 

[Kaz7714]

Dear Denise, please refrain from doing any quad attempt just have a clean skate. You haven't got the ponytail of strength anymore and I just want to enjoy a good skate. Please ?!?

 

[Karen-W]

And he singles the 4t... Adam slays another man.

 

[overedge]

what will it take to have Junhwan skate to his own singing starr andrews-style

And wear the Unscratched Lottery Ticket costume too.

 

[Matryeshka]

NOOOOOOO
