Go Shoma . Sb for Adam.

Level 2 step sequence?!

However on an important note, even in his skates Shoma is still shorter than Stephane who's hardly a giant.

That is why Shoma is President (or Co-President? I forget) of the Small but Mighty Club.

This program can be great, I love it already and it has such a wonderful contemplative energy. Today, it was a fight. Tomorrow, it may be a masterpiece.

Uno had 14.04 points advantage over Siao Him Fa but I think he will only be 2nd.

Oof, I don't know. The program starts beautifully, but then really falls asleep.

 

[hermine17]

Shoma. . . He fought very well after that start.

 

[elbkup]

I am ugly crying… Shoma

 

[GGFan]

Just sneaking on here to say: what gorgeous skating by Shoma despite the fall. I so wish there was more room in the PCS scores because I think that was superior choreographically and artistically.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

This performance should not win, sorry Shoma . I'm not even sure if it should go into second, but it will for sure.

 

[auser]

So much beauty to Shoma's skating that leaves me breathless

 

[YuBluByMe]

I liked Uno’s SP better. This free skate just…dies in the middle. It reminded me of Tomono’s free but multiplied. And he absolutely should not win.

 

[Jeanie19]

Shoma. Nice outfit and a lovely program. A couple mistakes, but he regrouped and did a lovely skate.

 

[lileychristie]

Now that Shoma seems to pretty consistently land his 4T-3T, I think his step sequence lv 2 will be Lambiel's next pet peeve

 

[Ares]

And btw. I think 4Lo should be worth more points. Even though 3Lo is easier than 3F for instance it is at least as hard if not harder as a quadruple jumps. There's a reason why do little skaters attempt this jump. CoP clearly has some deficiencies even if less than just a few years ago.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Congratulations to all . Flowers and bouquets for job well done. Congratulations to medalist . . The anticipation and excitement. Well done.

Wow 2 first places for Adam! Next stop GPF!

Still loved Shoma though, his little face!

And Mikhail S is damn awesome! Love his work.

 

[lileychristie]

Wooow great judging in both women and men tonight!! Adam just beat the 2 time world champion!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

I agree with the podium and the order

Edit: I also would've been fine with Shaidorov getting silver since I too felt Shoma's 4F GOE in the SP was a bit generous (though lower GOE alone wouldn't have changed the final placements)

Shoma
Congrats to the medalists!

I wonder who those guys in the white jackets in the background are...
