Sota next!!!!!

 

[Alchamei]

93.26!

 

[paperhearts]

The pressure on Sota now is immense... Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[da96103]

Ouch, that looks like a terrible fall on axel.

 

[Alchamei]

Sota falls.

 

[Shayuki]

Watching that fall hurt even me.

 

[Lota]

So looking forward to seeing Mura's video!!! I could't watch the performance now, sadly, but I'm so glad he did well!

 

[Shayuki]

This is a complete disaster.

 

[Alchamei]

Disaster skate.

 

[firal]

I didn't know Sota was planning a second half quad...too bad it didn't go

 

[paperhearts]

Ack! No, Sota! :hopelessness: Good comeback with the combo though...

 

[invisiblespiral]

Well, I just woke up. How was everyone so far?

 

[Layback11]

I'm crossing my eyes so I see two Sotas skating. :

 

[YesWay]

Not Sota's best... fall on 3A and zero points for quad popped to double... :-/

 

[da96103]

Quad popped to double, means the element is invalid?

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Uhhmmm... I don't think Japanese nationals are that inflated right now? Probably some points higher than international scores would be, but far, faaaaaaar less than Russian nationals, or American and Canadian ones in the past. Yuzu would probably be around 98-100 even with a fall internationally (he scored 95+ at worlds last year with a near fall and only one quad, and now he has even more momentum). Shoma scored 86+ with a fall on an URed 4T at the GPF. No UR: 89+. No fall deduction: 90+. No negative GOE: 94+.

Don't forget that international scores are going up like crazy too

Sota...

Quad popped to double, means the element is invalid?

Double jumps are invalid in the SP

Regarding men? I don't think Russian nationals was that inflated actually. The scores are rather low across the board. Of course, back with Plushenko...
