shameless judging

 

[YuBluByMe]

God, can i hate more that cartwheel trend?

Rika is literally the only skater that made it look good. It’s a disruption for everyone else.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Yes Mark, call out the bad 4T technique!

 

[yume]

Morisi landed his trademark Toechow.

He doesn't even pick.

Why is there a cartwheel?

Why not?

If you got it, flaunt it.

Moris forever has my heart for the epic mashup of I Believe I Can Fly and What is Love?

An icon for our times

Go Matteo!!!

 

[lariko]

Rizzo!

Stayed on his feet, check

Tall men rocking this comp count: 2

Uhm, Kazuki should have higher PCS than Moris, judges please

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Justice for Kazuki's PCS! If we can give Misha a 44 with a fall and another mistake, we can give him a 43!

 

[Vemvane]

Wow, Morisi had a great skate! His StSq is so much fun, so much energy today. Love the cartwheel! His quad toe is really very strange, it looks like a salchow, but, eh, he stayed on his feet and had no step outs, so that's quite something today.

Am sad that the quads didn't quite work out for Mikhail Kolyada today; his skating is just enthralling, his posture and carriage so beautiful, and there is so much quality in his movement. His Nutcracker SP is really one that I love, but I don't think I've seen him clean in it yet this season

Oh too bad, that 4T looked so beautiful in the air.

Yes Mark, call out the bad 4T technique!

One of these days, an Amano-esque panel is going to zayak that jump.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy why is Rostelecom why why why
I'm currently having an emotional breakdown, partially over the scores and partially over the skates, and the women haven't even started yet.

 

[Jontor]

Not what Matteo had hoped for. But he wasn't the messiest...

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Oh dear - another rough skate! I really like Matteo, but this was not his night. I appreciate his performance, but I do not like this singer! Seriously, why has the music been so bad tonight??

 

[yume]

Matteo can put fire on the ice. If only he could have more jump consistency...

 

[elektra blue]

is today bomb day? mama wasn't expecting Matteo to skate a clean short and loves him anyway
