2018 JGP Ostrava Mens Free Skate

[invisiblespiral]

I'm back from lunch.

(missed Mitsuki, though. )

 

[Colonel Green]

The scoring here is really generous. That's only three points below what he got in Bratislava for a completely clean program.

 

[rachno2]

Nice music choice

 

[Colonel Green]

Camera here is much better than some of senior B competitions.

The JGP has better camera work, both in terms of placement and image quality, than all of the senior B competitions, I would say.

Clean skate from Aleksa.

More reason to love Ted and crew! I think he puts a lot of personal effort to make it look amazing.

Also I love seeing more Prelude in C# Minor being used in programs! That is my favorite Rach piece.

 

[pearly]

I think his name shouldn't be pronounced like Alexa Knierim's (stressing the e), the stress should go on the first syllable.

 

[rachno2]

I know people have mentioned this already 100000 times, but I really thought that was Gogolev at first

 

[snowflake]

these 13-14 old boys with good tech already, not bad at performing

Aleksa 185.08 in second

Hi Neil

 

[Colonel Green]

On that second two-jump combination Iakovlev had heavy leans in opposite directions on each part of the combination, but landed both.

 

[flanker]

Camera here is much better than some of senior B competitions.

And stream works without failures. I bet sometimes I can be proud of my country

Solid skate, though why no 3rd combo?

FS: 66.77+66.92 = 133.69 (SB), 205.92 (SB), 1/21

 

[invisiblespiral]

Kirill!

 

[Colonel Green]

Once Iakovlev starts getting the bigger jumps, he's going to be really formidable.

 

[Mrs. P]

I have to say Kirill has one of my fave R&J programs cause he plays it straight and looks like a regal prince. There's room for both regal Romeo and completely crazy Techno "JULLLLIEEETTT!" Romeo in my heart!

 

[snowflake]

Who doesn’t want to be a Romeo at fifteen? Great skate Kiriil!

205.92 in first

 

[hanyuufan5]

Kirill! Wow, what a captivating performance! Such a shame he didn't finish on time.

 

[satine]

Is this some funky fresh remix of Gangster's Paradise?

 

[Ziotic]

Never thought I’d here gangsters paradise is figure skating
