2024 GPdF Mens SP PBP - La Vie en (Quad) Toes

[tony]

The ISU bio is wrong then.

As I said above, check the year listed.

 

[Karen-W]

For a guy who didn't jump in practices, this was a great skate - adrenaline is a hell of a drug!

Yeah, that was SkAm Kao-level good all things considered.

 

[genevieve]

I kind of loved that program

 

[MacMadame]

So no one sleeve costumes so we'll count that weird one from the 1st group.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, Kazuki, there was just no need for that mistake on the first jump! No need at all (sigh). Well, I suppose the hip injury has to be considered. I had such high hopes. Terrific 3axel. Shame the combo didn't have a triple on the end.

2024-25 SEASON NOTES
SP Music: "Break My Heart Again" by Finneas

We can blame choreographer David Wilson for Camden’s SP (though it suits his style and sounds like something Camden would pick ).

The ISU bio is wrong then.

No, just not updated for this season yet.

 

[MacMadame]

No, just not updated for this season yet.

Isn't the definition of wrong?

 

[beckab81]

I think this applies for "very literal costume"

 

[Sally1214]

Boy, Mikhail was slow on that spin ...

 

[genevieve]

that 4L was very pretty... in the air

 

[tony]

Isn't the definition of wrong?

It says on the ISU bio that it's for 2023/2024. So therefore, it's not wrong. Just not updated.

Music Short Program as of season 2023/2024

A Different Kind of Love by Son Lux

 

[Karen-W]

The only "Dune" program worth watching this season is SmaDie's FD. The rest are just a blur of meh.

Skaters are supposed to add their music and clear it, starting this season. Either Camden has been too busy with his job or …

 

[Rukia]

I can never quite get into Shaidorov because it feels like he never fully stretches anything. Like he's almost there then just stops and it bothers me.

 

[tony]

I want to like his skating more than I do. I think he and Egadze have had similar trajectories, and they both are stuck in this kinda meh competition presentation, but both have loads of personality in galas and in general.

 

[rfisher]

Pity about the 4Lz for Shaidarov. I have a soft spot for him, mostly because of my Urmanov fandom, but he's a good skater.

 

[Primorskaya]

First actually good Dune costume I've seen this season.
First programme I've actually liked in Mens today, mostly because I like his posture and line.

 

[genevieve]

I like the bones of that program but everything was slow and heavy. Hard work.

 

[beckab81]

With how many people are skating to Dune this year, is that a warhorse from a movie?

 

[Sally1214]

Mikhail and I were both hoping for more from that skate. Oh well, I won't waste my time complaining. I have to take my Urmy sightings when I get the chance.

eta: Not a happy Urmy in the K/C but I'll take what I can get.

 

[Karen-W]

Camden's bio has been updated on the new ISU website - the old bio pages haven't been updated.

Mattias Lindfors!

 

[MacMadame]

I think it has to be over more than one season. Otherwise Boney M would count this year (because of the RD theme)

 

[Karen-W]

Mattias Lindfors!

I knew someone was going to mention him.

 

[Kateri]

I knew someone was going to mention him.

I was just trying to get in before @Sylvia

 

[Karen-W]

Artistic coach cam there

@MacMadame - do we get to count it for both?

 

[Kateri]

Taped up boots should be a bingo, maybe!

Memola had a Levito style lean forward on the tripled quad lutz attempt. Fortunately he remembered not to do the triple lutz in combo again later, but the flip looked lippy to me. Ugh and flying spin going wrong.
