Skate Canada 2023 Mens FS - Rat's All, Folks!

[genevieve]

I would love exogenisis if I heard it maybe once every 3 years or so.

For some reason I always like the beginning of Exogenisis. And then the middle kicks in and I remember how annoying it is.

The first half is fine, and then the whiny moaning kicks in and no one in the history of ever thinks to edit that out. Or, I don't know, maybe this one time a cover is in order? I just hate that guy's voice so, so much.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

OH MY GOD. He's winning by .5.

 

[skatfan]

So close!

 

[Rukia]

lol he looked surprised by first place

 

[Sally1214]

Well, Sota kept it interesting but that should be enough. I am in awe of the depth of skating brilliance in the country of Japan.

On another note, some people wear short hairstyles SO well and Sota's coach is one of them. Just exactly the right shape of face for it.

 

[alj5]

That was pretty danged close

 

[tony]

Wins by .53. I knew it was gonna be something crazy close.

 

[thvu]

Wow, 0.53 margin.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Well, we all said it would be close.

 

[skatfan]

How could Yamamoto be that close on PCS!?!

 

[Wyliefan]

Sigh. I would have liked to see Kao take it. But short programs do count.

 

[tony]

How could Yamamoto be that close on PCS!?!

He was highest of the day

 

[mtnskater]

All is right with the world that Shaidorov did not make the podium.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

How could Yamamoto be that close on PCS!?!

He won the PCS by .32, which I think is honestly incorrect.

 

[peibeck]

Matteo Rizzo in the first group, and Corad Orzel in the second. Strange days indeed.

Skate gods heard you!

 

[skatfan]

He was highest of the day

Yes that’s my problem, he shouldn’t imo.

 

[Sally1214]

I actually love this podium. In fact, I'm very happy with the first 6 placements. Hey, judges, I think you got it right.

 

[nuage]

the good news is it's not too late for him to join a boyband I will stream you on everywhere music is streamable

I wonder if that’s why he moved back to Korea, to be able to work more as a model, instead of just off season?

 

[tony]

Yes that’s my problem, he shouldn’t imo.

I think he fulfills the criteria to be in the mid-8s, but I just think Miura is so much more well-rounded. And his program composition is stronger, too. So in my world Miura would be hovering around 90 points PCS rather than 83 or whatever he got.

6:30 AM
Good night

 

[alj5]

I think Kao's program was substantially better. Even his fall should have gotten + GOE. ;-)

[tony]

CCoSp4V did Miura in. Of course.

 

[Sally1214]

And another Grand Prix is in the bag. Gosh, it will all be over before we know it. It's been fun so far. See you all next week.

 

[Colonel Green]

This is 2/3 of the same podium as last year, in the same positions, just with a different Japanese man winning the gold medal.

 

[peibeck]

All is right with the world that Shaidorov did not make the podium.

His three "q" calls aided that result. Plus judge 1 correctly gave him 6's in PCS.

 

[skatfan]

At least Canada sprang for real flags

 

[Vagabond]

His three "q" calls aided that result.

And yet some people want to get rid of the "q."

 

[peibeck]

The Japanese national anthem is like the original emo tune.

 

[skatingguy]

And yet some people want to get rid of the "q."

I think some of those people would like the a more severe penalty if the jump is not fully rotated, but I'll let some people speak for themselves.
