NHK Trophy 2018 Men’s Results

1. Shoma Uno (JPN) - 276.45

2. Sergei Voronov (RUS) - 254.28

3. Matteo Rizzo (ITA) - 224.71

This event was a little weak but these three medalists really deserved it. But NHK will be remembered for the ladies. But this qualifies Shoma and very likely Sergei too. And I think Brezina is a certainty too, so only three spots left.

Assuming that yuzu and nathan will both qualify, JunHwan’s chances lie in the hands of Keegan, Dima and Mikhail depending on how they do in their next events.

DENISS!!!

Lvl 3 spin??? For deniss?? Lvl 2 spin??? Also. Betrayed by a triple loop. However. That choreo! 😍lovely. Now he just needs to skate this clean!! My podium dreams may be dead but I believe in him!!

NHK Trophy Men’s SP Results

Shoma Uno (JPN) - 92.49

Sergei Voronov (RUS) - 91.37

Dmitri Aliev (RUS) - 81.16

I need to stop underestimating Sergei. I did that last season too. He had the highest technical score too!

I will say, despite him being in seventh, Deniss was my fave tonight. Amazing energy and projection on the ice. Just a wonderful skate.

Shoma and Dima didn’t show their very best today, but they both have lovely free skates, so I will look forward to that. I’d personally love to see Dima claw his way up to second place :)

NBC’s really just gonna sandwich NHK between football and NASCAR? And ignore ice dance and pairs in the process?

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: God, I love her. She’s such a fighter, and her jumps are stunning.

Satoko Miyahara: She’s possibly my favorite in the ladies field. Her skating skills are so good! Excellent edge quality and mastery of her footwork, and she has wonderful artistry.

Can’t compete against two triple axels, though.

Mariah Bell: What a bean! I love her, but I don’t love her program. I do think she has the potential to be competitive with Bradie on the US level. Not now, but with some solid work, it’s possible.

Eunsoo Lim: Good job, kiddo! Took a hard fall and she really needs to work on integrating her jump setup more seamlessly into the choreo. I’m excited to see how she grows as a senior and develops over the quad.

Rika Kihira: Technically outstanding! Throw those triples, girl!

Mai Mihara: It’s a tough feat to skate after Rika, and she seemed a tad nervous in the beginning. Solid skate, though.
