[Sylvia]

ETA- hey Andrew landed a nice 3A!

 

[VGThuy]

Oh, my ears!

 

[LilJen]

I've been out of the loop for a couple years--what does the x in the tech box mean?

 

[tony]

Someone will ask, flip gets no points because they didn't put +COMBO to either of the first two jumps.

That 3T 'attempt' is probably <<

I feel like his skating went from really stunning to just skating through the movements when he came back from his long set of injury problems.

Gonna be a real challenge to not be last place.

 

[beepbeep]

I still can’t get over just how tall Gogolev became.
He was tiny when he appeared on the jgp circuit.

 

[Lanie]

Really enjoyed the footwork but

 

[Theatregirl1122]

What I like about Torgy is that his performance at last year's nationals really reset people's expectations for him, which allows him to crush everyone to a completely different level than if he HADN'T given that performance. It's truly ingenious.

 

[JoannaLouise]

The jumps may have been a mess, but I love the step sequence!

 

[rfisher]

If only there was some way to combine Torgashev and Malinin to get Torgy's agility to move on the ice with Ilia's technical prowess.

 

[thvu]

Torgashev's skating skills and this program - so good. But sigh at the jumps.

 

[peibeck]

Torgs:

That is all.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Is his music actually making that skipping sound? On purpose?

 

[jenny12]

Love that step sequence so much from Torgashev. Shame about the jumps.

So no combo = zero credit at all? Whew. That IS a rule change. . .

 

[airgelaal]

Litvinsev got into Lambiel’s closet!

Not really. He visited the Olympic Museum

 

[TAHbKA]

Torgashev's step sequence is to die for.

Someone from the arena: is Torgashev skating fast? On the camera it looks as if he was flying above the ice. What is it really?

 

[Vagabond]

The black mark of @rfisher strikes again.

It's still early in the season, though.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

When you’re under 40 and the sport you watch is being sponsored by prunes and memory enhancement snakeoil

Oh those who've ubered him since his junior days, aren't fooled by that.

 

[VGThuy]

I get avant-garde and experimental productions for dramatic or thought-provoking effect but who thought this piece of music with that skipping effect would be enjoyable to practice to day-in and day-out? And it’s not like he did anything interesting with it.

I feel sorry for Andrew and thinks he could have been somewhat cleaner with something that wouldn’t give him trigger headaches.

 

[Rukia]

That fw was so incredible to watch sigh

 

[tony]

So no combo = zero credit at all? Whew. That IS a rule change. . .

They didn't add +COMBO to the element. He will get some points back once they do that but also lose points for the lack of full rotation on the 3T attempt.

 

[thvu]

So no combo = zero credit at all? Whew. That IS a rule change. . .

No, I think @tony means that it's showing zero on the tracker because the panel didn't add +combo to the element.

 

[Colonel Green]

That's our Torgashev.

 

[Aceon6]

If he picked this music to play well in Montreal, it’s not looking good. Once a head case…

 

[alj5]

Well...Andrew's 3A and spins were great

 

[skatingguy]

Torgashev doing Torgashev things. Lost the program right from the first mistake.

Doubtful

 

[peibeck]

Is Torgashev still working with Artunian?
