Agreed!! Selevko's musicality is beautiful. And that triple axel was beautiful too. I'm actually amazed at the progress in his jumps over the past two seasons. He had such a terrible leg wrap circa 2018, I thought he'd never get a 3A. Guess the improvement is still relatively recent so he hasn't made it a habit yet.And last but not least, Aleksandr Selevko - I love that hiphop program to death, the first time when the style is actually used through the entire program and not just as a meaningless prop for 10 seconds. And he is soooo good with it. The jumps made me wanna cry out of despair though, because he is not that bad at all. I am greatful to Zhou for failing to qualify bcs this allowed Selevko to get to the FS.
Haven't you heard? Hanyu is underscored unless every single judge gives him +5 GOE on every single element, he is given level 4 on every single element, and every single judge gives him 10 for every single category.How is he underscored? He has near-perfect PCS (within 2.04 points). He gets big GOE on all of his elements. He is just 4 points off of his world record SP score.
Ooo yes I heard he was making his debut. Did you catch what he said about Donovan? Javi is his inspiration! If so I wonder if someone will send Donovan a link. It'd be so cool for himDid watch the whole thing but was distracted by trying to catch at least a bit of Javier FernƔndez in his new job as a commentator.
Uh-oh that bad? I haven't actually caught up on the later men. I love Boyang, hope he can make a comeback!What the heck is going on with Boyang Jin?
I sincerely hope that the arrangement with Orser will help him. Thereās a potential to be in the medals and win, and be one of the greatest, but he needs the right guidance.What the heck is going on with Boyang Jin?
Missed Donovan live, but it was posted on YT - here (very positive stuff as Donovan skated well, also lots about the difficulty of coming from a non-skating country and having to build reputation etc).Ooo yes I heard he was making his debut.

Yuma is cool I like him a lot and am looking forward to seeing him develop!he seemed to be most excited about Kagiyama,
It's always impressive when people are so fluent in a second language. I don't know why other languages so I'm like wow! If I tried to write in Spanish... yikes!As a non-native English speaker and writer, I appreciate that a lot.
Thank you for the link! I do hope Donovan sees it.Missed Donovan live, but it was posted on YT - here
Brian O cam has been missed!Brian jumping along with his skater
The latter. That happened at 2018 Worlds in the ladies with Choi Da-bin.Quick question... if one of the 24 qualifiers had to withdraw before the free skate, would Vincent be moved up to take their place or does that spot remain empty? I believe itās the latter but someone asked me that question today and I wasnāt sure so I thought this would be the best place to ask.
Nathan Chen did the honorable thing by deciding to fall. He looked at Hanyu in practice and knew it would be an injustice to be placed ahead of that. He had to take matters into his own hands, knowing the judges would not. A true champion.
Thanks for the detailed write-up; I really appreciated your thoughts. But what do you mean by this? Did he give a controversial interview after the SP or something? I wonder if I missed some Swedish skating drama...Nikolaj Majorov can sell a program for sure, but he should maybe learn to keep his mouth shut - it took away quite a lot from his credibility.
Thanks for the appreciation! Nikolaj kept his mouth open when he skated, nothing more than that. I was wondering if he was singing the lyrics to the song, but it did not look like it in the end. Somewhat overdramatic in the facial expressions department. Unfortunately no juicy gossip from the Swedish scene in this instance....Thanks for the detailed write-up; I really appreciated your thoughts. But what do you mean by this?

IMO a Clean Vincent is still our best bet to fill that 3rd spot. The US can send 3 skaters to Nebelhorn and they should fight it out there.I think this is a terrible idea, sorry. I disagree that USFS should send Vincent as some sort of test when precious Olympic spots are on the line. They should send whoever is skating the best at that time. If that is Vincent fine. If not send whoever it may be.
