2024 Finlandia Trophy Mens SP PBP - Kumbaya, My Quad, Kumbaya

[Karen-W]

Kevin looks to be in such a better headspace even with the lutz error and that's a relief.

 

[floridaice]

I'm glad that mistake hasn't caused a meltdown, seems to be handling better than in the past.

 

[MacMadame]

we've seen this all GP where something shows up initially as invalid before data gets input. I think it'll be fine (meaning the last one)

They've been giving me heart attacks all season.

 

[Lizziebeth]

I like that Kevin seems to be in a good place mentally. On to the free skate!

 

[tony]

I loveeeeeee this program for Sota. I think it fits his skating style perfectly.

Salchow I fear was short.

 

[MacMadame]

I do not like this music.

 

[Sally1214]

This ice is jinxed .....

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I guess we can't have nice things.

 

[Rukia]

trying to remember which japanese man I picked to be the one failure and hoping it was Yamamoto

It's a shame his FS is not.

Well, Sota's gonna keep Kevin in the medal conversation, I'm sure.

 

[MacMadame]

That's mean.

I agree with you.

 

[tony]

Loved it as a program. But I really think he will be hit hard on both the 4S rotation and the 3A not even being close.

Cedric Tour arranged this? That explains why I love it.

 

[Rukia]

That's mean.

I agree with you.

lol I mean it's nothing personal I just know how these comps have been going

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Yamamoto is cuter than I remember him being.

 

[I Luv Bulldogs]

Just tuned in from west coast Canada. Sad to see such an empty arena.

 

[Wyliefan]

Kazuki slays again.

 

[tony]

I'm sorry but they are (consistently) looking the other way on questionable rotations so far, which means Grassl can quad his way up to silver again in the free skate.

 

[Rukia]

these scores seem very generous

 

[Karen-W]

Kazuki slays again.

Nahhhhh, can't count it. Not with this slate of men.

 

[genevieve]

I wonder if Imagine Dragons know how popular they are with figure skaters

 

[tony]

Junhwan is one of my ultimate favorites, but I don't love either of his programs this year. The free skate isn't as bad as this.

He's a beautiful, glorious skater and this is shit. He doesn't even try to give any oomph to it like he has so many of his other programs. The arm movements are half-assed, and he's basically looking down.

 

[Karen-W]

these scores seem very generous

As I said earlier... Soft bigotry of low expectations. That first group conditioned the judges to give good scores to anyone who can land at least one "quad' in this second group, lol.

 

[Braulio]

And just when I thought Grand Prix France with the boys was a nightmare

 

[MacMadame]

Anyone want a dog?

I wonder if Imagine Dragons know how popular they are with figure skaters

At least "you're a natural" is better than all those lyrics about falling, laying down, etc.

And just when I thought Grand Prix France with the boys was a nightmare

Shoma cursed them all before announcing his retirement.

LEIS. LEIS. LEIS. This program has so much potential to be all the camp we need at any competition, lol.

 

[tony]

Are you on crack? How can it be camp when he looks down the ENTIRE time? He couldn't look any more bored. Giving Paniot a run for his money.

 

[TAHbKA]

Cha lacks energy for that programme. Its tiring even to watch.

 

[Hedwig]

I really love this program for Cha. He skates perfectly to the music. that axel was perfectly timed to the music - and was indeed his best jump, as ironic as that is.

brilliant choreo really. that is how you use music.

 

[Rukia]

he could fix this program if he added those flappy wings he likes so much to this top
