Such an awesome privilege to watch Daisuke Takahashi live - I started covering competitions in person in 2014, so this is my first time seeing him in person

Muramoto/Takahashi noted after their free dance that they will be reevaluating after the competition about their career and likely make a decision in April #Worlds2022 #WorldFigure

Shoma Uno JPN
4Lo, 4S(q?), 4T2T, 3A, 4F, 4T(ur?2ft,turn), 3A1Eu(<<)1F - I guess single flips are the new way to win big titles; it wasn't perfect but he did more than enough to get his first World title

Chatted quickly w Muramoto/Takahashi earlier - they evacuated during Hurricane Ian but still got their training in while they were away from Florida. They said it’s their 1st event of the season, so they just want to gauge where they are and get the experience #SkateAmerica
