Kao MIURA Short Program ISU Grand Prix Cup of China 06.11.2026

And now, to the silver medallist from two weeks ago, Kaomura. He acknowledged how his mental condition influences his competitive performance, and he said that he needs to stabilise his mental pressure. He aspires to find a flow state as he prepares to skate. A piece that was somewhat inspired by Daisuke Takahashi's Mambo in the 2010 season. Here is Quad Sal Triple Toe on the musical phrasing. And a new phrase is the soundtrack to the triple axel. Manages the Quattro! We'll celebrate, he rightly can, Kaomura from Japan, different colour costume than two weeks ago and different skater. It's hard to compare this with what was last delivered by Kaomura in Angers and he brought the party. And as I mentioned before he started, it is somewhat inspired by another incredible Japanese skater Daisuke Takahashi. And his choreographer Kana Muramoto said it was hard to know how to work on this when it had had such iconic fame and celebration with another Japanese skater, but they have done a brilliant job and now the work that Kana has done on the choreography can be rewarded more accurately because the technical element score was delivered by Kaomura. And here is the jump that was a fall Two weeks ago, but it was. Brilliant here. Quetzalcoatl, triple two. and then the triple axel and as I mentioned in the performance the phrasing of the elements will enhance the grade of execution it will enhance the composition as well as we see the quad toe and then the party and so when it comes to giving out marks the judges are having to consider how engaged the skater is and the wording for the judges is is there complete personal involvement in the program does the skater express and project a mood feeling or image He had a party and so for me the presentation component score should be his highest. Are we going to have now the first skater to cross the 100-point marker? Evgeny Semenenko had more difficult content, his quad loop, and Vladislav Dikici had a quad loop, so technically they have a higher base value, but program component scores for Kalmura were stronger. And how will that unfold as we await the score? Ha ha ha ha! Well, I hope you heard that reaction. One hundred and two point nine 102.9. It was 72 points two weeks ago. He's just added 30 points to when he last performed.
