2019 World Championships Mens Short Program

[Colonel Green]

Rizzo makes the final flight — when’s the last time an Italian man managed that?

Raf speaking russian with Nathan?!? What is going on I‘m dead lol

He was? God, I'm so sleep deprived.

 

[Hyena]

The crowd (and the judges, and probably most people here) were so ready for Nathan to go clean.

The free should be fun. Nathan has a big lead but not insurmountable if Yuzuru or Matteo kills it.

Also, Matteo in the final group? Heck yeah!

 

[Yuzuruu]

At least the WR for SP stays untouched so thats a consolation prize for Us Hanyu fans I guess [emoji24]

 

[TwinnerA]

How about that? American men 3 of the top 4 after the short!

 

[Yossalu]

Some ugliness for sure but also so many great things. NATHAN! JASON! Rizzo is on such a roll--if he'd received the PCS he deserved he'd have earned a small medal today. Proud of Vincent for holding his own. Very excited for Aymoz and hoping he can stay in the top 10!

He was? God, I'm so sleep deprived.

Yess after the scores when they stood up I was shook

Nathan really looked like he genuinely is having fun now. These Worlds after a disappointing Olympics are inspiring with the growth in attitude and technique. My heart is warmed! Back to bed.

 

[DSQ]

I’ve got 20 minutes to get up and get to work. This was great everyone. x

Matteo and Daniel would have me put Italy in the run for a Olympic Team medal. But they have to have a strong woman to make it happen.

 

[GGFan]

Needless to say the Japanese crowd was amazing. Everyone, regardless of nationality, received recognition for their hard work and dedication in making it to Worlds.

Can someone translate?

 

[WeakAnkles]

No its not. He has come from behind and won before [emoji6]

Absolutely true. You never know with the men. Don't count your TES and PCS until the last skater has skated.

 

[Yossalu]

Lazukin and Litvintsev and Samohin too low.

Absolutely. Litvintsev in particular was a standout for me. Samohin had a mistake (of course) but everything else was lovely. Even the exit from the fall was lovely.

So crazy that had Vincent not underrotated his sal, the American men would be 1-2-3

10 years? 2009, Samuel Contesti.

They really are the best audience in the world. They deserve their own CS and should have 4CC more often. But the Olympics are coming so I know they have to focus on that.

 

[reneerose]

His pick when into a hole in the ice.

Ugh...so the ice in that patch where he fell was bad....thanks....I thought it meant that....I never thought he would have scored that low.....I thought he was underscored even with the fall.

 

[Fruitpie]

It was a hot mess today.
Nathan is highlight of the day.
Lazukin is the best russian guy, who would thought?
Litvintsev is very promising.
And I really liked Hallam, kinda sad that he couldn't make it to the FP. But I still think that his life would make a great movie.

Man that was a heck of a final group.

I can barely take it in, but could just be my cold...
