2018 Worlds Mens Short Program

[WeakAnkles]

I love love love Misha's DRAMAHANDS

Really? I find it a bit on the pretentious side. It's a bit too I Am A Serious ARTISTE for me---and I love Misha. I just miss the goofball Misha of days gone by. I hope he brings BOTH sides of his skating personality to his future choreography.

On the other hand, the multidirectional camel spins were first rate. And he didn't drop his back on the catch foot either. Take that Uncle Dick!

What did Misha say in the K&C? I have no sound at work

 

[Princessroja]

There are some skaters that make me gasp and plenty that make me applaud, but very few that make me sit there with tears dripping down my cheeks, and Misha belongs to the latter category. You just get the sense that he leaves everything out on the ice, and that kind of artistry is so emotionally costly. It makes it even more valuable.

What's kijiji?

Canadian craigslist. We don't really use craigslist up here, but kijiji instead.

I just noticed Donovan qualified! Wonderful

 

[SubRosa]

The quivery hand thing Misha does at the beginning of this program got me thinking: has anyone ever skated to theramin music?

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

*regains balance after all the rolling stops* Oh, I missed that! Wonderful! I’ll have to find a video ASAP. I just saw the Canadian flag as the first one in the placements that didn’t have a Q beside it and died a little.

Haha, well he might even make the final flight!!! *fingers crossed*

Have you ever watched the French coverage when Miyahara is on? It's a hard name in French and comes out like "Mi-ah-ah-ah".

It's like a Canadian craig's list but for selling things.

Thank you! I love learning about Canada.

Misha's lovely. I think this was better than his Olympic skate, which was honestly way too overwrought (even by Misha Ge standards, lol). But this was a lot more simple, poignant, and beautifully skated. A worthy farewell SP, and I know he can do it again for the FS tomorrow.

I agree, but I'm in tears right now and wasn't at the Olympics so I might be biased

 

[Roast Toast]

Misha has delivered all season. He can retire happy with this kind of performance -- I think he pushed his skating as far as it can possibly go.

 

[EdgeCall]

I really hope Misha will go on as a choreographer. And maybe as a choreography/presentation coach as well. He has a much better feel than the others about how to bring the programs to life on the ice.

It’s similar to craigslist. For Canadians. Minus the “adult” ads section.

Hugo and I quite enjoy to say it over and over again.

 

[karne]

Right. I'm off to sleep. I'll see you all at 5am for Katia/Harley.

 

[da96103]

So can Keegan follow Slavik and Donovan and sneak into final group?

 

[Interspectator]

There have been a lot of amazing skates and Season's Bests already...what will the last group bring?

Who is Ugo?

What would a Canadian adult ad even look like? Would poutine be involved?

Don't answer for in trouble we will be.
