2023 NHK Trophy Mens FS - The Last Stumbler Guys

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Sexy Vassiljevs

Selevko #2 - that heel landing on the quad looked really nasty. Not surprised the next two jump passes also went wrong. And another splat late on.

The best that can be said is that the things that weren't jumps looked fine, though the last spin travelled the length of an advertising board.

At least he managed to prevent Wesley Chiu from being in last place

Deniss pleases us with a striptease from the very beginning. it would be better to please us with good jumps

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Well... What can I say. That first one was a top 3 attempt of 4s by Dennis in the last 5 seasons.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Vasiljevs - those quads just aren't happening - not that this is news to anyone. I hesitate to even call the first one an 'attempt'. The program did (mostly) improve once they were out of the way, although I think Lambiel stalking the program in the background may have been the most interesting thing about it.

Can we start a GoFundMe to buy Deniss some buttons for his shirts?

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Wow, this is HORRID.
Even Lambiel himself wouldn't have been able to pull this music off, and in Deniss' performance it's just unbearable to watch. I mean these are Egadze levels of watchability.

 

[Karen-W]

My burning question for Deniss & Stephane is "what made you point to that design sketch and say 'yes, that's the one!' when you met with your costume designer to discuss FS options?"

 

[airgelaal]

I suspect that Deniss is a fan of the Blackpink, but is embarrassed to admit it

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

*Staring at Vassiljevs

Deniss: my eyes are over here.

Seriously, though, that's too much of Vassiljevs I'm seeing.
And I'm not talking about this shirt.

 

[leilaofpaper]

Can someone please make sure Egadze does not end up on the podium

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Camden, on average I'm more liking you than not. But your choice of music makes it nearly impossible.

 

[airgelaal]

Tosca
Are you kidding me?

 

[leilaofpaper]

Oh Camden

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

What a great way to ruin GOE on a perfectly good 3a.

I feel like the guys have just given up on this competition.

 

[airgelaal]

Camden. Typical Camden

 

[Holy Headband]

What’s with the obvious grandma break in the middle of Pulkinen’s program?

 

[Bunny Hop]

A bit like the Pairs earlier, nobody wants to win this thing.

Pulkinen is normally at least nice to watch even when the jumps are questionable, but he doesn't look comfortable out there at all.

 

[Lizziebeth]

the middle of that program was downright sluggish. It perked up a bit at the end but meh

 

[Karen-W]

Camden - too many minor mistakes add up. My fear is that the sum will be Egadze winning bronze.

I believe in Lucas

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Yes, a-propos American skaters being better than the Estonian ones...

Ok, I don't think I have ever cheered (or even remembered he exists) for Britschgi so hard. There's a lot of things I can take, but not Egadze medalling.

 

[airgelaal]

Lucas, you are our hero!!!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That sigh of relief from Lukas is all of us.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Britschgi's shirt is...a choice.

Okay, maybe he wants to win a medal. His style isn't neat and tidy, but he got the job done.

 

[Karen-W]

Thank God Lukas decided to save us from the shame of Egadze on the podium!

 

[Lizziebeth]

Lucas, you are our hero!!!

Never thought I would be cheering so hard for Lucas B to medal lol

 

[airgelaal]

I hope Japanese boys want to go to China and not to Georgia.

 

[Belsornia]

Britschgi seems a bit tired after three competitions in three and a half weeks but at least he’s fighting for it.

I guess he can take it easy at Swiss Nats so hopefully he has a break now before Euros.

 

[airgelaal]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The Japanese boys are made out of some different material.
