Nice one Connor! Now get out of those skates.

What a caring human

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Apart from the fall early on, that was very good from Connor.

And given his kind gesture to a rival competitor, well deserved!

I hope that the skates serve Chiu Hei as well as they did Connor.

WELL DONE CONNOR!!!

[CrazyKittenLady]

Yes, Connor wins the sportsmanship category!

 

[Carol1]

Between Ted, Mark and this generous young man from Great Britain, the JGP is truly a caring, sharing, morally upright event. If only the same could be said for everything in skating.

Tsudoi SUTO (JPN)
Per Te by Josh Groban

3A
3Lz+COMBO+1T* Step-out
FCSp4
3Lo
CSSp4
StSq2
CCoSp3

Score: 69.64

Why is it always the junior men that land their hardest elements and struggle on easier elements? And why have the Japanese decided to channel Shoma Uno's landings today?

 

[EdgeCall]

A couple of rough steps, but overall very nicely done!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

It´s not fair that they skate to such sad songs right now after the passing of the queen, i´m way to emotional for this

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Wow he saved that loop like a cat

Cat loop:

 

[TT_Fin]

I am wondering where is the line between deep knees: How down must the skater go when it is a fault and when it is a positive GOE thing?

 

[elektra blue]

and i made it for the last skater!

 

[EdgeCall]

Cat loop:

Watching this makes me feel dizzy.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Now for the second part of the feel-good story of today (and probably the season!)

ALL THE BEST CHIU HEI!!!

[CrazyKittenLady]

and i made it for the last skater!

... who is skating in skates borrowed from the previous skater.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Judges are making us suffer

Woho, a good score for Tsudoi

 

[elektra blue]

he got unlucky enough, i'll spare the comment on his music

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Who did he borrow the costume from??

Oh no, never enough....

 

[norwegianfairytale]

What skates did he use during warm up? Or didn´t he warm up? :O

Omg, he landed the combo on borrowed skates

 

[EdgeCall]

Wow , courageous! 3-3 with completely unfamiliar boots!
