[Lizziebeth]

Haven't seen Alexandr Fegan before, what a nice young skater to watch!

 

[Sylvia]

"Sasha" Fegan makes his JGP debut at 13 (born in 2010!) - 2A, 3Lz fell out/hand, unusual combo of 3T+3Lo! (landing a bit wonky)

ETA:

1​	Fedir KULISH	LAT	65.23​	35.12​		30.11​	5.96​	5.82​	6.25​	0.00​	#1​
2​	Aleksandr FEGAN	USA	64.01​	33.70​		30.31​	6.18​	6.18​	5.79​	0.00​	#3​

 

[PRlady]

That is going to be hard to beat.

 

[Sylvia]

Shunsuke Nakamura is back in form: 3A, 3F+3T, 3Lz bit wild/hung on - after a subpar JGP in Osaka he’s looking to challenge Daniel Martynov (who also has a good 3A) here.

[Wyliefan]

Mid-skate ad for The Epoch Times with a lot of blather about how the insurrection wasn't an insurrection. Lovely.

 

[Sylvia]

Oscar Oliver improved his SP score by a few points from last week's JGP debut in Gdansk - Jolanta Baryla is with him this week (his Mariposa/Barrie coach was with him in Gdansk). Glad to hear he is being recognized for his charity work.

 

[Holy Headband]

Nakamura and Martynov are both bringing it in the SP! If they both skate well in the FS as well, it will make up for the small and relatively unimpressive field in this event. I enjoyed Fegan as well; he has a good foundation for the future.

 

[Sylvia]

Martynov couldn't execute his 3F+3T in Osaka (mistake on 3F so no combo) and here he moved the combo to the 2nd half and landed it!

ETA - and a new ISU PB! (73.93 at 2023 Jr. Worlds; 70.75 in his Osaka SP):

1​	Daniel MARTYNOV	USA	79.24​	42.57​		36.67​	7.32​	7.21​	7.43​	0.00​	#8​
2​	Shunsuke NAKAMURA	JPN	77.30​	41.65​		35.65​	7.00​	6.96​	7.39​	0.00​	#5​

 

[Lizziebeth]

Daniel really coped with the pressure! I enjoyed that.

 

[Wyliefan]

Daniel into 1st! He looks shocked.

 

[Holy Headband]

Hello, darkness, my old friend, I mouth as I hear the first notes of "The Sound of Silence."

 

[Frau Muller]

Checking results. WOWEE- hats off to Team USA’s two men, in First & Fourth.

Love Daniel, but I would have given first to Shunsuke.

[Frau Muller]

Tuning in from my hotel in NY to cheer our two US guys!

GO. GO. GO, Alexander AND Daniel!

 

[her grace]

Fegan

opens with solid 3s, hand down on 3z, nice attention to the music, needs to add speed and power as he grows, wonderful MITF sequence with stretched out and held spiral, saves his combos for second half, wobbly 3z-2t, okay 3r-2a-2r. Last couple jumps were the most solid. Nice debut.

 

[Frau Muller]

ALEXANDER FEGAN !!!! Absolute joy & beauty in his line and overall style!

 

[Kateri]

Bychenko's shirt is on the ice again!

 

[her grace]

Kuperman

back to back POTO

opens with solid 3f-3t, expressive through the "Music of the Night" sequence, little struggle on 3z-1r-3s, down on 3f, does a little leap out of his combo spin. Impressive focus to skate so well considering what is happening back at home

 

[her grace]

Law

Good speed across the ice, messy on many of the jump landings, not his day.

 

[Holy Headband]

Hamada gives me so much stress when she screams at her skaters from the boards. Someone stop her!

 

[her grace]

Nakamura

good opening quad 4t, skating with conviction, 3z -1r (really looked like a step out, pause)-2s, pops his axel, nice 3r-3t, good basics. Somewhat hot and cold, but clearly enough to lead.

 

[Holy Headband]

I love axel combos without eulers. Thank you, Fedir!

 

[her grace]

Kulish

Solid 3a-3t to open, good emotional expression, jumps are on and easy-looking, very nice 3r-2a-2a sequence, could work on his extension to give movement more of a wow factor, but movement was very neat and clean and well-executed! Having some problems with his spins, last one was turning slowly and only level 2. I liked best so far.

 

[Wyliefan]

Fedir has great jumps. Everything else needs work. But today the great jumps were enough for the podium. Good for him!

 

[Holy Headband]

Felt like Kulish's program had more of a program in it, if that makes sense... Martynov's skating feels a bit emptier, or maybe it's the fact he's a bit slower. (Both were pretty empty, though.) But it doesn't matter because I think that was enough for the gold.
