2023 World Figure Skating Championships Men's Short Program

[yesterday]

Hi guys, i don't know whats going on.
Did samoylov withdrew?

He's second to last currently so he won't make the free skate.

 

[rollerblade]

there are arguments for and against that... I can see it either way honestly.

If Jason had skated in the final group, he would have outscored Kevin. The final group PCS boost is real.

 

[4everchan]

OKay... this was a very hard decision to make... but i am going to bed... i have to work in 4 hours lol... so yeah...

bye bye protect Keegan, Shoma, Lukas, Cha and well... make a miracle for Conrad (and Kyrilo) for me while I sleep

Those tiny Zambonis are amazing.

Yelim must be watching with interest

it's building...

 

[lileychristie]

Bad luck for Nika having to skate in between Kevin and Jason, especially when both of them skated lights out like tonight.

I've always loved Kevin and to see him finally skating clean LIVE... I almost felt like, what did I do to deserve this

Seeing Jason live is also a huge privilege. His spins are just so gorgeous live

The arena went all mental for both of them, loving the energy here!!!

Jason Brown is the reason I fell in love with this sport

 

[Kris135]

Jason is just glorious skating period. Now about Eteri daring to even show her face here. How dare she! The woman who started all the problems and now coming to World's like nothing has happened last season. What is even crazier is the ISU is even allowing her to be here in the first place! Urmanov on the other hand has basically been coaching Shaidorov, who is from Kazakhstan, and nothing else. I know he Russian but he has been his coach for years and I have no problem with him coaching here. So there is difference a huge one.

[CrazyKittenLady]

Aaah looks like Kyrylo juuuust missed out. Harsh.

Don't say that. It's not over till it's over.

 

[LadyB]

I'm so scared for Moris! I hope he doesn't completely cave in in this group.

 

[Jammers]

Can Ilia finally skate a clean SP if he does he puts himself in great position to win.

 

[sworddance21]

If Jason had skated in the final group, he would have outscored Kevin. The final group PCS boost is real.

It looked like Jason's tech dropped about 1.5 pts from what I saw in the score box right at the very end of the program to what it ended up. That would have been the difference. Wonder what the judges saw?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Don't say that. It's not over till it's over.

True true.

Although it would be awful for any of the rest to have such a poor skate - although I'm scared for Moris

Dennis V! He brings us the ponytail!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Have we ever seen them in the same room together.

All I know is that Eteri definitely hasn't been seen in the same room as Mother Gothel:

"Mother Gothel is the main antagonist of Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled. She is a wicked crone who has retained youth for hundreds of years through the healing properties of a magic, golden flower."

Hey, do you remember that time we discussed this during the 2018 JGP Czech Skate:

Ooooo, is this Diana's debut in JGP?

Oh, I forgot! I found a video of Diana and her Mum from practice yesterday which I meant to share:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygLeAHox1FI&t=10

CaroLiza_fan

Oh buuurn.

I'm curious about Dad, is he in the picture or what?

LOL what is this music?

It's the Russian dub of "Mother Knows Best" from Tangled.

I remembered somebody said in the Lookalikes thread that Eteri looked like Mother Gothel. And with her blonde hair, Diana could pass as Rapunzel.

So, I couldn't resist.

CaroLiza_fan

Of course, Diana and Eteri have since switched hair colours, so it doesn't work any more.

[Kris135]

Ilia please skate like we all know you can.

 

[anonymoose_au]

It looked like Jason's tech dropped about 1.5 pts from what I saw in the score box right at the very end of the program to what it ended up. That would have been the difference. Wonder what the judges saw?

I think Mark and Belinda mentioned the combo jump was on the quarter? Would that account for it?

But yeah, if any two skaters are hard to separate it's Kevin and Jason, both have such quality performance skills! Kevin has the quads, but Jason has the skating skills so...

Aww Kazuki, look at that adorable costume

 

[DancingCactus]

If I have to hear the word "quad god" once more, I'm going to.... roll my eyes back in my head so hard it hurts.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Thinking about it...I still can't believe Ilia can do that quad axel! Like that's just insane.

Moris! In a @CrazyKittenLady approved outfit.

Haha and Deniss in one that's decidedly not. I love this guy.
