Thoughts: WTT Day 1

The ladies’ short was chaotic.

 I’m happy for Liza, skating another clean short, and Anna’s short was very nice too. 

Kaori absolutely crushed it, and I’m so excited to see the Matrix on Saturday. Also, her 2A deserves all the GOE, that thing is huge. 

Rika’s triple axel was a no, but everything else was really good. Hopefully skating from behind in the free can take some of the pressure off her, but she’s still struggling with URs. 

Yuzuru and Nathan were so good! Honestly, two almost perfect shorts from both of them made my day. Yuzuru saved that 3A, and if it had been clean he’d have won the short, but his jumps and expressions were way better than at Worlds. Nathan’s 4T-3T was a little rocky, but his short was also really good. Seeing them so close going into the free makes me so excited!

Kevin! Yay! So happy!

Misha did really well, but his jumps were not quite as smooth as at Worlds. Still great to see him consistent. And I want a clean Nuryev tomorrow.

Jason’s Sinnerman was to die for, and he deserves higher PCS still, but seeing him skate is the ultimate privilege. Amazing. And his jumps were incredible here.

Poor Shoma. His boots broke three days ago, and you can see it in his jumps and spins. He was smiling after, though, which is incredible. He just needs to pull a Keegan Messing and tape up his boots. Tape can fix everything, right?

Shoutouts to Evgeni, who held together again, and Adam Siao Him Fa’s wacky short that I both love and despise. Also, Roman Sadovsky did really well, great job.

“ Okay but Team Raf? Nathan and Romain cheering on Marin at SC? Nathan watching Eunsoo at CoR (he's not even competing)? The skaters easily including Kolyada when he trained with them? Adam teaching Marin? Everyone with Mariah? Underrated international friendships RISE. I'm so happy to see them supporting each other in their GP assignments and training sessions, even sharing dance classes. “
