2018 Worlds Mens Free Skate

[Alchamei]

No no no not another disaster!

- - - Updated - - -

Did he twist his ankle? All of his landings looks sketchy.

 

[Crystal7]

I like it so much, when a skater chooses really unique music, which is mostly unknown, especially with some ethnic elements and connected with culture! That music is so amazing, beautiful, emotional...

 

[Sk8rBoii]

So sad for him, because everyone knows he can skate so much better than this. Too bad he's looking almost defeated in the other half, after all the mistakes, so even his performance is greatly affected and sluggish

 

[Alchamei]

I wish Daniel would perhaps tone down the difficulty a little bit and worked on his consistency. He's such an amazing talent. He can do the jumps and has charisma, great that both he and Alexei could have gone to the Games.

Arrives to the party, anyone got a link?

 

[SpiffySpiders]

You're killing me, Daniel. Don't be like this. So much natural talent, such scattered focus in competition. I keep hoping it's all going to come together soon.

Oh, yikes. Poor Samohin - he looked so frightened to put his hand down. Even on the jumps he did hand downs he kinda snatched his hand back up very quickly.

 

[cruzceleste]

Daniel fought for it. And that was a weird fall...

 

[Crystal7]

I wish Daniel would perhaps tone down the difficulty a little bit and worked on his consistency. He's such an amazing talent. He can do the jumps and has charisma, great that both he and Alexei could have gone to the Games.

I guess that was just stress after that arm injury. He has that kind of reaction, that you mentioned earlier and was afraid of hurting himself again.

 

[Alchamei]

My commentators just said there are no open rinks in Israel anymore. Oh dear. Doesn't look well for their future.

 

[cruzceleste]

That chair looks unconfortable

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hey why are Daniel's PCS higher than Julien's?! I understand he has more tech, but Julien sold the Hell outta his program.

And hey here's Slavik from Armenia! Good luck!

I like how he's skating to an Armenian song

 

[Alchamei]

After Julian and Daniel I'm quite bored with Slavik. But solid for him so far.

 

[brens78]

Ah I forgot how pleasant SBS commentary is, beats the hell outta Russians and Johnny and Tara!

 

[da96103]

Happy watching people!

 

[eaglehelang]

It started already? Darn, I missed Julian since he skated 1st

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ah I forgot how pleasant SBS commentary is, beats the hell outta Russians and Johnny and Tara!

Yeah he's pretty good

Although be careful sometimes when he hasn't had his tea he can get a bit snarky!

Question: Are there more jumps in FS programs these days? I'm sure I don't remember this much jumping when watching old Plushy videos (irony )

 

[brens78]

oh and thy shalt be thankful this is on as I didn't have plans to go out tonight and nothing appealing on Netflix..

 

[karne]

See for me it's not okay that that goes ahead of Julian.
