Loving this show so far, but the reason I haven't finished catching up to the current episode is because I've been splurging on watching competitive figure skating, not just recent events but decades worth of it.

Yuzuru isn't skating in the Japanese Nationals, though still excited to see Shomo Uno skate.

Shomo doing some new combos:

Zhenya just won the Russian Nationals with a 153 in the FS and even did a 3-3-3 combo just to show off! Alina Zagitova (another Eteri student) got a higher technical score than her and ended up with 2nd.

Awesome posts about the scoring.

Boyang Jin does have some incredible height on that 4Lz. That judge who gave Patrick 10s in all but 1 of his components is definitely Canadian. It will interesting to see the battle between Nathan and Boyang play out and which of the two can raise their PCS scores faster to challenge the big 3. Both of them try 4 quads in a FS program, but I believe Nathan has 4 different types vs. Boyangs 3, and Nathan has tried putting 5 quads in his FS this year (though not successfully). Hanyu has 3 as well. It's so crazy how much progress has been made in the last year in terms of putting in more quads as well as the first ratified quad loop and quad flip by Hanyu and Shomo.

Speaking of Patrick, here's him and Nathan Chen:

The men's final group at the world championships was amazing.
