2018 Worlds Mens Short Program

When will the ISU learn? Deniss just did a spread eagle in a squat position and the audience went nuts. A really good simple move that works to enhance the music will always go over big with the audience. The ISU should recognize this and reward it more appropriately.

One of the things I like best about Deniss is that he doesn't drop his back when doing a catch foot spin. See Uncle Dick Button--I did listen closely to you all those years!

I will never understand how Deniss got two better programs in the previous Olympic season than the Olympic season.

A nice and clean performance from Deniss. Good 3Lz+3T to open. Strong landing on the 3A. And a fine 3F. His spins were quite fast today, though not very centered or controlled. I enjoyed the choreography, particularly the opening flourish to the flutes and the ending with the bent spread eagle. He can still skate with a bit more personality but I think he's got great artistic potential.

Lambiel should start 4T lessons as soon as possible. Don't want to go down the same path as Jason/Rippon.

Keiji!

He's been practicing quads all along. They are not fools...

The point isn't it is the same panel. The point is you can't appeal to the authority of "the panel" when panels make obvious mistakes all the time.

I don't think the skaters care about my opinion. If that's the standard for saying something, this board shouldn't exist since everyone's opinions here are worthless to the skaters.

The tech panel has access to video replays that you or I can't see, and they are trained for this. They're not always right, but it's ridiculous to automatically dismiss them when they don't give the scores we expect (read: want) them to give. I thought Vincent's jumps were fine. You didn't. The tech panel thought they were clean, and have been marking skaters for URs so far in this segment. They must have considered his quads sufficiently rotated even if others didn't.

Keiji's costume is so sleek. He is like the male Larkyn for me now.

That's really not possible in a system where they try to assign a value to every possible element. You have to go to general impression scoring, and the ISU apparently decided that was too subjective, I guess unlike the system now where no one debates the results ever

Looks like it won't be done before I have to go into work...

 

[Crystal7]

Keiji! I like him and his music choice!

 

[s_parks]

Agh, going so well until the 2A!

Yes..but his eyeliner game as on point?

 

[lavenderblossom]

I dunno, he mentioned it on social media but didn't specify.

His secondary school exam, not a speaking test. He won't know till May/August ish, I guess.

Bit stingy on GOE for his spins But good PCS.

 

[Interspectator]

Augh! Only a double Axel! But it's not a disaster. You did good Keiji! Quad and Combo clean.

Let's wait for the closeup [emoji872]
