Skate Canada 2023 Mens SP - Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fibre

[4rkidz]

Well I made it through, some great skaters let’s hope cleaner for the long.

 

[Frau Muller]

Whew - Cha 2nd! Sota a stylish 1st!

And my beloved Shaidorov fifth! Woohoo!

 

[Matryeshka]

Y'ALL. The weirdest thing about this entire event--ORZEL MADE THE FINAL GROUP. Meltdown in 3...2...

And, that's a wrap. I'm actually glad I stayed up to see the men's sp because it would have been kind of a bad way to start the day off tomorrow (with a video of this event which was not well-skated at all). So, tomorrow is a new day and the best of luck to all the skaters in their free skating progams. Goodnight, all.

Definitely not staying up for this tomorrow night. Hopefully that means they will be amazing.

Right there with ya. Not worth wasting my data on it.

Six skaters landed exactly at 90 degrees short on jumps (very scientific process to determine, not 89, not 91) and got the 'q'.

Just get rid of it already. Or find someone to develop technology to report landing angles in real time.

[skatingguy]

I thought Cha was coached by Orser?

Cha left the Cricket Club this summer. Now being coached full time in Korea.

 

[skatingguy]

They going to avoid the q at the very least on the Sal? It definitely was not fully rotated.

It got the 'q'.

 

[AnnM]

Cha left the Cricket Club this summer. Now being coached fully time in Korea.

Brian was still listed as one of his coaches in the in-stadium caption, which I thought was odd.

He's not listed on the ISU bio or the planned program content.

 

[Holy Headband]

Gosh, I love Sota, but his SP this season is such a trial to get through.

Re. Kao's SP, I think they gave him something so different to his most successful programs to improve his performance skills, and I think it was a good decision. I like the program and hope it will help him learn to control his body movements better.

 

[Kateri]

he's always with us, sometimes multiple times in a skating competition

And when there was only one set of blade tracks, that was when He carried you in a group 5 lasso lift with change of position and cartwheel exit.

I’m just catching up.

Chiu: Even though the music wasn’t identical, it takes balls to skate an R&J themed program while Cha is still competing.

Yamamoto: Other than the touchdown, that was a full performance that I will look forward to seeing again and again. He’s so musical.

Miura: something about the choreo makes me think it would look better on a taller skater. There’s plenty of space in the music to really stretch out the lines.

Rizzo: Baby Rizzo’s facial hair would go better with really dark and evil music. And the costume looks just like the abdominal binder used after one of DH’s surgeries. It’s so bad, I‘d prefer the dying moss green turtleneck. No, just no.

Tomono: Aspiring fridge break. I’m sure he’s a lovely human, bless his heart.

Cha: Love the music and the performance level. Shame about the 4T.

Sure because the screaming 'Juliet' was such a masterpiece and all.

But it was memorable, if for only one moment .

Matteo Rizzo's post after his SP: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy7ruaCOPVX/
Machine translation:

Despite everything, I am happy with today’s program and it’s important for me that everyone knows it. It’s a long process but that, together with the team, we are performing the best.
Step by step, it will take time. In between there will be joy, pain, happiness, ambition, disappointment, anger, frustration. But you have to believe it.
The long program is for you

I'm not fond of guitar Moonlight Sonata. I like piano Moonlight Sonata.

I didn't hate it, I just don't understand why.

Can someone please loan Rizzo an electric razor.

Thank you to Cha for using a normal version of classical music without any additional beats, vocals or other randomness.
