2017 Canadian Nats Senior Mens FS

Shaquille didn't even bother with a costume at all. He probably pulled the pants and top out of the laundry basket in a rush to get to the arena.

eta. He is a really big boy. Kurt noticed he was probably injured during the skate.

Ermm. He got some letters stuck to it. Haha

 

[4everchan]

He hurt his ankle in the warm up.

I suppose it would be too much to ask to get through this event without Josh Groban.....

We had a mandatory poto. Now some just garbage.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Another tall boy. He jumped quite well. Could improve his SS.

Loving the technical commentary banter between Kurt Browning and Ted Barton....How great is that! Skate Canada has really upped the quality of its streamed coverage.

Found their discussion of the challenges for Shaquille Davis, who is no longer just tall [and whipcord thin], but big and broad now, absolutely interesting.

And provides insights about the adaptations Roman, Nic and Nam are having to make. My takeaway was that the big guys have to be so technically perfect to keep it under control, as that mass and centrifugal force will be unforgiving of errors a smaller and lighter skater could more easily compensate for.

Laurent runs out of steam.

eta. Another tall one.

Simple, well-cut and well-fitting, music appropriate and TV ready costume. Doesn't have to be flashy...

 

[Violet Bliss]

I find the tall boys tend to be somewhat klutzy.

 

[4everchan]

Go jo.

 

[4everchan]

Quad toe. Bang

 

[Violet Bliss]

Joseph is no klutz, even with a fall. Settle down, Joe.

 

[4everchan]

Some more popcorn

 

[Violet Bliss]

Joseph is a refreshing change and a treat after all the klutzy tall guys. I like his skating from the start. Well, I always get a feel of the skating from the first second of movement.

Well done, Joseph.

Not holding my attention.....

Following up on the last Ted and Kurt discussion on the risk of vocals, this program needed something to be "added"....

See. I like tall guys. I guess we associate with guys with similar features. Joseph was fun to watch but the program is boring

Zamboni break...sounds like Ted will be back with the first flight of pairs on the livestream at 6:21pm.
