Kirill has pretty, tight jumps, but please work on the spins my man.

And Aznavour may not be the best choice for him.

speaking of great hair you're going to love the next skater

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

well Mina and Celentano are like the history od italian music they're both in their 80s by now but still great performers

If you've still got it, you may as well make the most of it!

On the skating front, look how long Belousova / Protopopov kept performing.

Anyway, back to the competition. Better skate for the older of the two Latvians.

Kirills goes into 3rd.

Finished after the music, but much better than in Courchevel Nicely done

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Dhiyab has the coolest hair, the best music choice and the best shirt

 

[el henry]

Why I watch the junior men: a discovery like Dhiyab.

Of course I love the hair. And the costume. But he has expression and flair as well, and he has the flexibility to improve with the spins.

And Brian loves him too

 

[elektra blue]

let me guess, Robin Hood? ah no, close, arrows are still involved

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I know we're making a big deal of Dhiyab's hair. Because, well, it is BIG.

But, he's actually a good skater.

Just a pity that somebody accidentally put his top into the shredder. But, that can be repaired.

Into 7th.

let me guess, Robin Hood?

Nearly. Just move the setting to Switzerland.

William Tell

 

[Ichatdelune]

Am I the only one who started singing "Get up now, get up now, get out of bed"?

 

[elektra blue]

give him all the apples!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Hang on, that's not Rossini. That's Vivaldi!

Sorry, I was a bit premature. The Lone Ranger came galloping in at the end.

[norwegianfairytale]

This little guy has a lot of character +5 for the costume!

 

[ramurphy2005]

Hearing William Tell always takes me back to orchestra in school when this piece was almost always the finale of our All City concerts.

 

[el henry]

Grayson!

Too bad for the fall, but what a wonderful performer, that he can present that choreography. Step sequences. (do love me some Joey Russell choreo, remember him from Utashin).

Always liked him, now filing adoption papers.

 

[yuumagical]

Wonderful spins, wonderful step sequence. William Tell seems to lend itself to good step sequences, glad to see him live up to the music! Good job Grayson!

He is a actor??? Whaat he is so young?

he wouldn't be the first child actor out there

 

[moonvine]

Well here I am, very late. I'm sure the guys I will want to adopt have skated already.
