2018 Internationaux de France Men's Free Skate

I actually really like the way Samarin's Quads look when he lands them. They look really beautiful to me.

 

[Lester]

So apparently the Greatest Showman soundtrack is praised and successful?
Why?
??????????

 

[jkun]

This is an exceptionally poor program..

 

[frida80]

You'd almost think he was Canadian !

Well, Patrick Chan was one of his role models.

 

[DSQ]

I like it. I really like it.

 

[Mikansei]

eh, this felt kinda flat. I was expecting much more movements and expressions since it's the greatest showman.

 

[GGFan]

Samarin is better this year but he still seems so sloppy. Love the big jumps though!

 

[brens78]

that was boring...

i mean he barged his way through it but it's just not a great program let's be honest

 

[cake]

Those quad lutzes are really scary :eeking:

 

[frida80]

Well, that should be good enough for the podium. Not a bad job following Nathan.

 

[Ichatdelune]

... Jason is not going to be able to beat that even if he pulls off the skate of his life, is he?

 

[Lester]

The Greatest Snoozefest

 

[Colonel Green]

This guy is so boring.

 

[WeakAnkles]

That's a Frankenprogram: I'm not sure what the two halves have to do with each other.But he certainly performed it with wild abandon.

Full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Not my cuppa.

 

[Princessroja]

Might be enough to hang on to silver, but man was that a boring program. Samarin, waving your arms in the air occasionally in between sloppy jumps does not a program make.

 

[jkun]

I am sure if Nathan is wearing Vera Wang people will say it is awesome lol. Well his performance isnt stellar as to the program but hard to beat tech. Even if Jason landed one quad it wouldn't be enough.

I mean, Jason only needs 175 to win. Which means around 85 Tech score for him, which is definitely achievable without a quad. Rika Kihira got 87 last week.

 

[DSQ]

Didn't everybody on here hate the Vera Wang?

That’s how I remember it too...

 

[champagnerain]

How does one give a subdued performance to The Greatest Showman? We need DRAMA and elephants and trapeze artists, and instead we got...nothing?

 

[Ichatdelune]

I am 100% aware I am terribly biased against him because circumstances of GPF, but honestly, for the Greatest Showman that wasn't much of a show. Even the junior Matvei Vetlugin sells it better than him.
