Andrew Torgashev Cheer Thread

[Rukia]

Well someone had to start one and I guess that someone was inevitably going to be me. Please enjoy his 4cc short program.

[Wyliefan]

He did great!

 

[Laura4]

Yay! Thank you! I was hoping someone would start a thread for Torgy, one of my new favorite male skaters. That short program is fantastic!

Now, can we get a thread for Maxim Naumov (my other new fave)?

 

[Firedancer]

I love this program for him and kinda hope he keeps it for next season. Hope he skates just as well in the FS.

 

[Cachoo]

Beautiful!

 

[Jonas]

I wouldn't mind him bringing back this program, but hopefully there'll be a quad in there, too!

Yeah I think he just has to be not injured for a hot second for that quad to work. I'm pretty sure I recall him doing it at Lombardia before he hurt his back.

 

[ignosk8er]

Thanks for starting this thread. I could watch his and Shoma's SPs back-to-back all day long

 

[Rukia]

Great job in the free!!

Also spoke very clearly about his future plans with regards to training and quads (also indicates that he may keep one or both programs, but I hope he gets a new free)

I've only seen him ever try 4toe, so I wonder what other quad he's been working on!

He did the sal at Lombardia

Thanks for starting this thread @Rukia! I really loved Andrew's SP and hope he keeps it for next season. Most importantly, he has to find a way to stay healthy.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

I became a Torg fan the first time I saw him skate in 2015 when he slayed “Fireball”

Put him in bubble wrap so he can have at least one season without injuries!!

A belated thanks for creating this thread, @Rukia!

He did the [quad] sal at Lombardia

86.41 in Bergamo in Sept. 2023 is his ISU PB SP score (3F+3T, 4S, 3A) - AFAIK, this was the first time he attempted & landed 4S in competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sY-rsmGdPA

That deep landing edge going into that axel is so banger (also Ilia seems to like it too lol)

 

[Rukia]

Beautiful display of skating skills in this little bit of choreography

I guess this means he's keeping his short? That was filmed this month.

The description says “2022-2024 SP” but he didn’t use it in 2022-2023 so kind of confusing.

yeah that confused me as well lol i was like counting on my fingers and trying to do some mental math

 

[Rukia]

Pretty good for a very early season comp!! (Also he apparently landed a quad for the first jump but it's cut off here however the op promises to post entire vids later so we shall see)

Also it was reported by fellow FSUers that he was to Scheherazade in practice so same short new long?

This is really good? The jumps were messier in the second half, and I think giving him a q on that quad was kind of mean. Excited to see where he goes with this throughout the season!

 

[orbitz]

The choreography for Schez is disappointing. There wasn't anything in that stood out for me.

I was hopiing for a little more as well. It doesn't have Andrew's signature wild abandon footwork, but I'm hoping maybe he's still getting comfortable with it and will give it more oomph with time.

 

[Rukia]

I will say I wasn't enamored by his free at the beginning of last season and by 4cc I wanted that choreo sequence injected directly into my veins so I'm willing to give him some time
