Worlds 2024 Men SP: ‘No Fan-ada?’

[Desperado]

someone needs to muzzle whoever that human is that keeps coming through on the ISU feed

[Messalina]

First an Arcane program, then an Attack on Titan program. My son is in disbelief. And here he thought skating was so uncool

ETA: Oops. I told him the wrong thing. AOT is the long!

Kao MIURA
Coach: Noriko Sato, Nobuko Fukui, Koji Okajima
Music: This Place was a Shelter by O. Arnalds

4S
3A - leaning to the inside of the circle, but hung on
Fly Camel Spin 4 (3 after review)
4T+COMBO - very crooked take off - fall
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Change Foot Sit Spin 4

-1.00 = Falls (1)

Losing the combo is going to be costly. The quadruples Salchow was excellent, but then the next two jumps were crooked, and the quadruple toeloop was so crooked he couldn't save it.

85.00 = 7th Place

 

[peibeck]

Miura's musicality is so lovely to me. Definitely not his day on the jumps, although the 4s was excellent. Sigh.

 

[marbri]

Alain Goldberg of Radio-Canada - please feel free to email them.

He is very excitable.

 

[slicekw]

You know with Miura, and earlier with Frangipani, I watch these guys hit the ice so hard and roll right back on their skates and keep going and I have so much admiration for that speed of recovery. I’d be still out there 5 minutes later.

Tonia is learning to talk over his grunts.

 

[Karen-W]

Kao just had so much air time in the 4sal. The way he just floated down into the running edge was great.

Sigh, then a q on the 3axel and invalid element for the combo. SIGH.

Litvintsev for the free?

No way. He'll still score 80+ and easily qualify for the FS.

 

[thvu]

3axel was definitely <.

 

[Lanie]

Kao

 

[skateboy]

Miura should go below Jason. But he probably won't.

 

[Lara]

Kao
Still really looking forward to his free.

[Ananas Astra]

I love love love "Masquerade Waltz" .

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Miura should go below Jason. But he probably won't.

Below a lot more than Jason - in 7th currently.

 

[skateboy]

Miura should go below Jason. But he probably won't.

Okay, I feel better now.

 

[Karen-W]

I've got worries here about Cha. But I'd also be okay if he let Lukas into the last flight for the FS.

 

[Lanie]

Splat right in front of my section, just had no height after the quad

 

[airgelaal]

No

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

 

[thvu]

Definitely << on the 3toe fall.

I'd review that 4toe.

 

[Rukia]

oh gosh her really rushed the toe take-off and just got lost in the air and popped open there was no chance of landing that

 

[Spikefan]

This is no 4CC final flight.

 

[Karen-W]

That was probably one of the best, most confident 3As I've seen out of Cha ever.

 

[MacMadame]

Love Cha and Masquerade Waltz but have no expectations so only mildly bummed about the sitdown fall on the 3S.

 

[Desperado]

This is one pair of fugly gloves.

Oh, falls on second combo jump.

 

[tony]

Should've never tried the 3T, way too awkward of a twisted reach around and I'm sure he felt it as soon as he went up in the air.

I have such a strange crush on him anyways. He's tall and has this quiet presence and his sweeping around the ice is beautiful.

This will score 90 points most likely, which will bring back the spontaneous combustions from the Grand Prix when Siao managed it with a big mistake.

 

[Allen]

I love Masquerade Waltz, but this feels very flat for me.

 

[Lanie]

He has such lovely flow

Was it a 3 or 4 Sal? I couldn’t tell

 

[tony]

Love Cha and Masquerade Waltz but have no expectations so only mildly bummed about the sitdown fall on the 3S.

It was a 4S+3T
