2018 Rostelecom Cup Men's Short Program

[Yuzuruu]

Is Kazuki really tiny...or is Alexei K just that tall?

He looks so cute! Good luck Kazuki!

Alexei is pretty normal so I guess Kazuki must be a minature human [emoji846]

So far so good, is there hope for Mikhail to be clean this time?

Very good!

Haha, LOL that very good today is clean but you still giving URs to all these jumps.

 

[brens78]

Well Done Kazuki or who I keep thinking as Hanyu's little bro

 

[Yuzuruu]

Both. Alex is REALLY tall and Kazuki is tiny. [emoji6]

ETA: you picked the right day for your best skate ramenhead!

Alexei is just 2 or 3 cm taller than Yuzu so I wouldn’t call him REALLY tall honestly [emoji23]

Kazuki gets +5.00 for drama hands! I'm really enjoying this

Yay! Here come the Japanese Flags!

 

[TallyT]

He did well! The second group are bringing it better...

Kazuki Tomono

- Good ride-out on the 4S, might be < (+0)
- A little low on the 3T on the 3F+3T (+0)
- Nice speed and smooth through the sit spin (+2)
- Strong 3A, very good landing (+3)
- Quite slow on the camel spin but good positions (+1)
- Strong edging through the step sequence, could be more complex, Level 3 (+3)
- Nice combo spin to end the program, good change of positions (+2)

I was afraid right at the start since he almost had a stutter on a simple stop move, but he pulled it together. Good jumps all-around, though the 4S looks < on replay. He could have more speed across the ice but he's very smooth and has good knees.

Kazuki, mesmerizing! Very well done.

 

[Metis]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAH KAZUKI SAVED THE EVENT HE WAS CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hap57:

Pretty sure Krasnozshon saved the event before Tomono took the ice.

 

[Weetos]

Yayyyy that was lovely

Is Kazuki really tiny...or is Alexei K just that tall?

He looks so cute! Good luck Kazuki!

He's about 1cm taller than Shoma. So yeah, tiny.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Kazuki's (hot) coach going "Yoshi!", I feel you dear sir :hap36:

 

[kevinVchicago]

So far so good, is there hope for Mikhail to be clean this time?

There is always hope! Go Kolyada go!

 

[Mrs. P]

Aw he lost 6 points. Looks like they did call the 4S< at least.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Nice choreography by Misha. And love to see Kauzki really commit to performing it.

I enjoyed that. Good redemption skate for him.

 

[gonewiththewind25]

It felt like I was watching Misha Ge on the ice for a decent part of the program. His choreography is such a great vehicle for Kazuki.

 

[draqq]

Kazuki, making me want to watch the Shibutanis' free dance to this music from their days as juniors.

 

[karne]

Uh, did they not call the Salchow at least?!

 

[Noxchild]

Misha in the K&C, that's cute

 

[Metis]

Alexei is just 2 or 3 cm taller than Yuzu so I wouldn’t call him REALLY tall honestly [emoji23]

True! Yuzu isn’t that tall, except in the world of figure skating. (I’m the same height as Yuzu and I’m a woman... and taller than lots of men I meet... especially in heels.)

Alexei is pretty normal so I guess Kazuki must be a minature human [emoji846]

Woah Shoma's finally got competition for smallest men's skater.

(Seriously Shoma's actually the same height as me...but he seems so tiny compared to all the other men)

I like Kazuki's coach's glove look

GASP! MISHA GE! Haaaay you. Also looking very nice!
