Nathan's been pressuring himself for SO LONG and then all the hype and pressure from a whole COUNTRY seeming counting on him to win the gold ... he choked. He choked bad.
Shoma Uno was adorable again, he also scored over a 100, which, unlike the commentators, I completely expected him to score lower than Yuzuru because cultural reasons Sparkle Twins either don't know or don't care to know.
If I remember right (our cable service died completely for a bit right before the last two skaters) it was Yuzuru, the Spaniard whose name I've already forgotten again, Shoma, and then Jin-something from China, all with scores over 100. At least I got to see the Israeli skater from the team event do his short program this time! Though apparently he didn't do it as well, sigh. Nathan ended up in 17th, so while he gets to do a freeskate, it's just for the sake of it at this point. I feel bad for him, but he's still just a baby, he'll have other chances. I really think having to go right after Yuzuru was the thing that killed him, poor dear.
