[Jarrett]

He looks way taller than 5'9"

 

[Hedwig]

It literally makes no sense. If you want to talk to yourself make a blog.

why are you in a forum if you are not capable to interact then politely with other posters? It is a simple enough request not to post the real time results for someone who tirelessly worked for the last couple of days to give us all information?

I'm in the forum to talk about skating and read people's thoughts on the ONGOING competition not listen to silly requests about not wanting to be spoiled in a PBP thread. It is a bizarre request.

Shunsuke Nakamura

unfortunately lost the stream for first half
so starting with:
3loop
3flip
3axel < bad fall
3z-3toe< stumble
looks exhausted, spins slow and sluggish

beautiful 4toe 3toe
and another 4toe
3axel struggle in the landing but made it
3loop fall out
3axel euler 2sal

great program jump wise, he needs to work on his steps and basic skating a bit more, IMO. Some turns were very untidy.

but that was a great skate all in all

And now the Final Group warm-up, after mandatory commercials.

 

[Jarrett]

Oops our savior streamer seemed to have closed the Japanese Nationals window by mistake. I was hoping he was not going back to Russian videos.

 

[Tak]

Showing 6 min warm-up of the final group.
And slew of commercials.

 

[Holy Headband]

Not watching any commercials here: https://live.qq.com/10174243

Thanking our soldiers on QQ for their service.

 

[Tak]

Back to Warm-up, and Announcer says this is now being broadcast live. I do not know if this is right.
Warm up just ended.

Kazuki Tomono

this skate is mesmerizing

wow, with this he could even make a bid for the podium. I am not remembering how far behind he was but that was great.

 

[Jarrett]

Beautiful edges from Tomono on the choreographic sequence.

he was really great to see, I already loved him in Milano. I like others too, so not sure who should be on the podium with Uno and Yuma

This is the best ever by Tomono!
Full Standing Ovation! This has got to lead but by how much?
Another slew of commercials, this reminds me of US TV coverage during 90s.
ETA: Computer problems prevented me from writing the score. 184.64
The total was 271.56.

 

[Holy Headband]

Not sure this persistent choreographic motif of running your hands through your hair is the most appropriate translation of Vivaldi to the dance form...

 

[Hedwig]

Shun Sato

4z - wow - what a beauty!
the men came to play!
3axel euler not enough speed but does 3toe anyway < step out
4toe3toe
4toe

3axel scratchy
3loop2toe
3lutz scratchy

[npavel]

I preferred Tomono

Kao Miura

3axel e 3sal
4toe okayish
4sal step out
I fear that is not enough after the two amazing skates before him
3axel
4toe 3toe - wow, he might be proving me wrong
3loop2axel
3flip
that was an amazing skate as well especially considering how he is still recovering from illness!

for me it is Tomono, Kao and then Shun

 

[Holy Headband]

I know I harp on this constantly, but if I was Miura's coach, I would tell the choreographer that his free is NOT ending on a spin. Put a step sequence there.

 

[npavel]

Kao Miura jumps were so tilted, I was wondering how he stands them

 

[Jarrett]

Kao Miura put some more energy into his spins today which is good. I'm still not understand the costume or the reference. Anyone know what it is supposed to be?

 

[npavel]

for me Tomono Shun Kao
