Grand Prix de France 2023 Men FS - “Rain in your Black Ice”

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I rolled my eyes so hard when I thought the first notes of his LP.

A bad fall, but frankly, he deserved it

 

[tony]

How does you husband feel about this?

i've read enough fanfic to know this could go either way

I live in a major city and I'm a millennial. I think most people would assume it's just normal. My husband, not so much.

He's married

I am too. So?

 

[thvu]

Camden has changed his team, but hasn't changed anything about his program choices. Sigh...

 

[bladesofgorey]

Just checked in and for the record I am in love with Boyang's shirt. In love.

 

[airgelaal]

Tosca! What could be worse?

 

[Wyliefan]

That quad toe never had a chance.

Greetings from Berlin

 

[Rukia]

there's the camden I know

 

[rfisher]

Mark's sigh expressed every Camden fan's feelings.

 

[airgelaal]

I am too. So?

I'm afraid polygamy is illegal in Britain

Gogolev looking great on warmup. I’ve seen 4T, 4S, and 3F+3A

And knowing Gogolev, that's the only place you'll see them.

I had a very productive warm-up. Did I grade? No. Did I fold the clothes that have been in the dryer since Thursday? No. Did I eat something? No. Did I get through three ladies SPs that I missed yesterday? Yes. Yes I did. I said I wasn't going to kill myself watching all the skating...but I lied. Cause I do that.

 

[Primorskaya]

Tosca! What could be worse?

DO NOT tempt them !!! You know how it works!

 

[Desperado]

Tosca is way too big for Camden, even with all his jumps.

 

[honey]

Tosca/La Boheme mashup?? Did I just dream that . The middle slow section went into La Boheme I think?

 

[Spikefan]

I feel like he forgot all of his choreography.

 

[Wyliefan]

Tosca is way too big for Camden, even with all his jumps.

On a good day he could make it work. He's got the skills. But he's not giving it his all today.

 

[Matryeshka]

I like Tosca. Not Tosca with vocals, but the instrumentation is just made for bombastic, over the top skating, which is we all know the best skating.

 

[Rukia]

I love an operatic cartwheel

 

[tony]

What a weird program. I'm usually captivated by his movement even when he's bombing all over the place, but not today and it wasn't even that bad.

Camden continuing his series on skating warhorses this season with Tosca. A good skate for Camden, and a nice recovery from the opening jump fall.

147.40 = 3rd Place
230.84 = 1st Place

 

[ChelleC]

Mark's sigh expressed every Camden fan's feelings.

I literally sighed at the same time.

I'll take this from Camden and count it as a good program.

 

[Lizziebeth]

I think Camden seemed a little bored by his own program, especially during the jumps at the beginning of the program.

 

[Desperado]

On a good day he could make it work. He's got the skills. But he's not giving it his all today.

We shall see.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

For someone who projects like he is skating powerfully, Camden is suspiciously never reaching the right short board.

 

[canbelto]

Well Camden is a cutie. He looks a little like Tyler Christopher, that soap actor who passed away a few days ago.

 

[Primorskaya]

I love an operatic cartwheel

Nothing expresses the carefree quality of Tosca quite so well

 

[thvu]

Camden really has shown he won't just fall apart now. I appreciate that growth in his mental game. He's giving more to his non-jump elements too instead of treating them as afterthoughts. He overall looks more confident, even if the quad toe still isn't there.

I'm glad he's sticking around. There's hope that he can really grow into a consistent competitor, especially considering the rest of the US Men's field.

 

[tony]

Blackout?

 

[Wyliefan]

Did anyone else's feed just conk out??

 

[peibeck]

Camden seems so slow. He doesn't seem so well trained, but given his college studies maybe a bit understandable.
