It’s hard to describe just how heart wrenching that Uno’s skate was.
But I did love Hiwatashi’s skate, glad Samarin repeat landed that quad lutz combo, and my cat stans Kevin, apparently. No, seriously, the feline snoozed through the whole morning until Kevin started spinning, got up, stared at Kevin, then gave me the look. I was really happy for him, but Nguyen still leads by a huge margin imo in the home triumph free skate department. Voronov looked better than in Finlandia, so I breathed out a sigh of relief. Chen, thanks goodness for Nathan, because I need predictable good news in men’s figure skating.
Where men delivered heartbreak in spades, ladies was all lovely. I love Sakomoto’s Matrix more than anything else ladies this year. I loved both Alena and Alina, and that barrage of axels was pretty cool! I still can’t let go of the Mariah the Blade association from last year, but she was so light and pretty, if only it wasn’t the Hallelujah again, I might have cheered for her coming ahead of Sakomoto.
I loved both Russian pairs.
