2017 GP Cup of China Mens SP

I'm shocked in a good way. I can't remember the last time I saw Tanaka skate clean.

Nice, our first clean skate of the day!

SP: 47.91+39.28 = 87.19 (PB), 1/7
 
Nice to see a clean skate. Over reliance on the hands by Keiji but those Japanese skating skills are always on point.
 
OMG SABRE DANCE!

I love it!! (Plushy skated to this waaaay back when, it was hilarious)
 
*facepalm*

Dear skaters, repeat after me...once the foot goes down, the second jump in the combo will get a *. So don't waste your energy!

Petrov had a perfectly good Lutz he could have improv'd the combo onto!
 
Petrov's dance is always interesting.
Fire dance last year and Sabre dance this year. Even though today is not his best jump and spin day, he is so musical that I can watch him over and over. And that smile at the end... :luv17:
 
Alexander Petrov

Long setup into 4T with step-out. Three-turn out of 3A. Err... a very clean 3Lz, but with no combo it's INVALID.

I can't hear Sabre Dance without imagining someone in Looney Tunes juggling axes. Either that or Michelle Kwan's SP from 1993 if I'm remembering correctly. A shaky performance overall.
 
This is a hard program to realise if you don't have the energy, power or stamina for it.
