2018 NHK Men's Short Program

[Yuzuruu]

Wohoo! Uncle Sergei serving some hot tea today! [emoji3]

 

[Noxchild]

Gonna think about how Shoma here with a missed combo and fall got higher marks than Nathan at SA with just a dippy 4F... also, this is clearly the year of the uncles, because Voronov (and Brezina) has been killing it on the GP... Reynolds not so much :scard8:

 

[karne]

Judges will find some way to put this over Shoma, who was very generously marked.

You mean under, right? You know they will.

 

[rei00]

Can we have Voronov first? Shoma needs a little slap on his lazy a.. ahem.

 

[TallyT]

Score? I would love Sergei to podium...

 

[auser]

I see Plushenko arm movements are alive and well

 

[draqq]

I love Shoma, but HOW is his TES 8 points ahead with no combo???????

The 4T is just considered a 4T+Combo instead of being completed invalidated. The value of the 4F and the GOE on all his elements, especially the 3-point extra on the 3A, put him wildly ahead in TES.

 

[LadyB]

WHAT A GUY!!!! Sergei, we love you!!!!

 

[lavenderblossom]

Sergei wuzrobbed.

 

[Danny T]

Yessss, broke 90!!! (could've been first :sarcasm

 

[twirlingblades]

You mean under, right? You know they will.

yes, its 6:39am, sorry.

 

[NoNameFace]

WHAT A GUY!!!! Sergei, we love you!!!!

I stan Alena, Sergei and Michal this season - just proving on experience and fire!

Ahh, thank you for the explanation

 

[Sai Bon]

Sergei behind Shoma...it doesn't seem right

 

[Baron Vladimir]

That judging is just wrong. We see you are in Japan, but still :noshake:

 

[karne]

Aaaand yep under Shoma. Fall + no combo over clean skate. Man the IJS needs some work.

 

[Jeanie19]

Voronov had a perfectly beautiful skate, he should be in first.

 

[Leonardo]

Sergei wuzrobbed.

More like Shoma was overscored (sorry babe)

 

[Interspectator]

Gonna say it just once, Voronov should be in first. --That's it, I won't whine any more.

Shoma is usually WAAAAY above Vornov (rightfully so, when his elements are done right...), but the tech calls today were iffy in his favor.

But anyway, tough day guys. Shoma will slay the FS.

But the hero of the day:
Thank you Sir Voronov!

Well, in this instance I would say it's not so much Japan, and quite a bit more Shoma ...
