2016 Four Continents Mens SP

yeah yeah commentators Its absolutely S/K song

for me this season it's rather Mirai's song - she gets the best from it while performing in my opinion. In pairs - in terms of interpretation - I prefer James/Cipres, they're more sensual...
 
I feel like this Hong kong guy is in the wrong competition, not a single clean jump and 90% of his program is tacky dance moves :p #sorrynotsorry

HongKong is not a place for skating, leisurely, training wise, period! Hau was the local champion, once, the only hopefuls are training somewhere else, in China, or abroad, overseas. The Olympic Chairman said as much, overseas skaters will form the main source of competition, as the area lacks, in awful condition, ice surfaces, atmosphere, climate.......even coaches are very hard to come by, good coaches are rarerer still.
The only advantage HongKong skaters have, doubtfully, is their city's prosperity, in terms of their average financial security, mostly based on their highly valuated real properties, highest real estate price globally, so each owner of flats, minus the land, at least are multi-millionaires, and can afford to send their sons and daughters to ice skating coaches who charges one hundred USdollars or more per hour, definitely more, nowadays, and the wealthier ones can send their hopefuls to abroad, or mainland China, for dedicated training......The one guy,who showed up in last World Championship, got some decent levels, much more than this local hero Hau, to show for, and he was trained in Canada, lived there......thanks for the double nationality acceptability.......

Hong Kong is a city where everyone runs, no one walks. One used to hear that New Yorkers walk fast. Hong Kong is another level all together.

I dont see the song as sensual
I guess its 50 shades well...shade:laugh: clean big elements without an ounce of passion works very well with it!

Thank you tung. I wondered about this.
 
Thank you for your kind words.

You're welcome. I know how it is, to be a smaller skating country, to have skaters that people don't really know. And both Andrew and Julian skated very well tonight. :yes:
 
I met Julian a few years ago at Skate DownUnder. He was very sweet and polite, a bit quiet and shy, and I liked his skating even then. He's improved a lot. :yes:


Meanwhile, quick, we need a support circle :ghug: for poor cheerknithanson. Somebody hide the protocol from her!

I'm awake.....I just saw the numbers. I don't know if I'm too groggy to be sad cause I just woke up and have other stuff on my mind...but oh dear. :(
 
I don't know what fascinates me more. The fact that there's actually people in the arena, or that I'm hearing even more BSB
:dance3:
