God bless Shoma. He is injured but fighting hard to keep the 3 spots for next year's worlds in Saitama. Men's free skate from Milan on Saturday night (Japan time). Keiji - 7:38 PM, Kazuki - 8:23 PM, Shoma - 9:21 PM. Top two need a combined finish of 13th or better. #宇野昌磨

One great part of covering the Olympics is getting to watch practice day after day. Imagine having the chance to see Mozart compose music or observe Picasso painting for many consecutive days. That was what watching Yuzu in Pyeongchang was like. A genius at work. #羽生結弦
