Shoma Uno's quality was just so so fantastic, it's really refreshing seeing him rewarded, totally deserves this gold. I always felt like he was just not able to bring his star ⭐ to the top top while heavily competing in the Yuzuru reign. Yuzuru is just ... magical, & it must have been so so so hard for Shoma to continue to push through, train so intensely, for so long, never giving up. Now, his time has come, and his combination of technical & artistic excellence, outstanding choreography, coaching, and freedom, are paying off big time. LOVE his skating! Congratulations SHOMA UNO, outstanding
Absolutely agree!!!
Agree!!! - I came across him in the 2016/17 season and - yes, I have to admit that I instantly fell in Love with him 😍.I always liked him more than Yuzuru and Nathan, don`t know why - just personal taste. Thank Stefane so much, obviously, I was not the only one who believed that he deserves so much more than 2nd or 3rd place! Maybe Stefane isn`t the greatest coach in the world, but he managed to drag Shoma out of the hole he was sitting in in 2019. Thank you, Stefane!🥰
So happy so him. I was afraid Ilia m the Trusova of men skating would win but thank gif it didn’t happen.
@@TheFlowMind Yeah, I also feared/ thought that Malinin would win this by a mile ... but a gap of 30 Points between 1st and 2nd place tells a lot! judges here put artistry AND athletiscism over pure athletiscism and: youth..
To be fair: Shomas technique on the 4Flip is NOT old-school- textbook-wise, he does some pre-rotation on the take-off, for sure. BUT: Many other skaters do the same thing, so what...
AND: I could watch him doing nothing else but backwards crossovers for 4 min. or so, because he does them so smooth, calm and beautiful. I whish I could do crossovers like that.
Thank you for the recap! It was great. Amazed by Shoma!! and the dominance of the Japanese is really something - yay for Sota who's been through so much disappointment. And Kaori was a surprise not being on the podium. And Yelim Kim - who was worn out. I wish the South Koreans wouldn't wear out their skaters with repeated national competitions (they didn't treat Yuna this way!) and I was sad that Junhwan Cha missed the final.
My fav routines were the British dance team Fear/Gibson.
I would love to see you do a show rating the camera work at different events throughout the season. Someone send the camera people/producers a memo that not one figure skating fan wants to see a close up of someone's head until the program is over - we want to see that opening pose. No fade outs are needed at any point. Don't zoom in on their upper body during the footwork sequence or twizzles - we need to see their FEET, duh! And while overhead shots of spins are kind of cool, they also make us kind of nauseous.
I knew Mai could do it!
What did I tell you about Mai Mihara? (I am very full of myself that I made one prediction about this final and it came true.)
Same!
CB xérès the best❤
Using the word "objectively" when talking about goes is frankly disingenuous. Chock and Bates were a bit better, and the fact that the judges are split means ice dance is a purely political game. The only reason why chock and Bates lost is because they were terrible in their season so far and judges were not ready to give it to them yet. Program components go to P&P but in terms of technical C&B should be higher. Anyone with two eyes knows they have better lifts and transitional content.
I agree that C/B should've won the Free Dance. So much improvements here from what we saw of their programs earlier in the season. They had better speed, better lifts and overall just a better performance than the Canadians. I don't understand the judges' love for the Canadian' Evita program; It feels like a show program to me, and it's slow, which arguably makes the program's elements easier to execute.
@@AT-jm4dl my thoughts exactly
I think theJr GPF pair champion from Austria could have won the FP here over the seniors.
You mean Australia, don`t you????- I am from Austria, and in the moment we don`t have any pairs, neither in Junior nor in Senior level, since Ziegler/kiefer have retired....quite a pity.
