2023 World Figure Skating Championships Men's Short Program

[CrazyKittenLady]

A bit of a meh ending for the last group. But what a fantastic competition. Cant wait for Saturday! See you all round!

There goes my hip abductor!

That was really good! Let's hear it for Jason Brown's choreo and Daniel's commitment to it! Good for him!

Although he went to Team Crystal? Does that mean he trains in Russia now?

 

[yesterday]

okay, his Lz was weird all season so I figure that's solid.

 

[LadyB]

I agree with Belinda, this is much better than last time I saw him.

Last group on saturday:
Shoma
Ilia
Jun
Keegan
Kevin
Jason

 

[treblemakerem]

TRIPLE flip?! Belinda don't play us like that

Lol don’t be silly Shoma can’t do a triple flip

Daniel has some of the most unappealing skating, but he works hard. I think that is part of the problem, he has to work so hard, not flow with the music. I feel kind of bad making this statement.

just and hand down on his opening 4L (taking a leaf from Kolyada's book here?) i take it. i love my baby boy and i'll be proud of him always. i don't care about the programs he delivers, the coaching team he can choose, i'll support him no matter what

The wise thing to do.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Small silver for Ilia.

OMG Jun gets a small bronze! @Ichatdelune !

He was so good! You'll be very happy to rewatch him when you get the chance

Waits to see where Boyang is here...

Oh wait 19th...ouch, I've got my fingers crossed for his FS!

Good on Maurizio for getting in too!

Sad for Kyrylo though! So very close to making the FS!

 

[LadyB]

Glad Daniel's in the second group. Looking forward to FS, but first comes the real nailbiter for me: Rhythm Dance.

 

[elektra blue]

after this emotional rollercoaster i need something strong. see you tomorrow, my tulips. love you all

Why making it in bold letters then?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Now we'll see what Ilia will skate Saturday morning (Night in Japan) so I can see if I'll be awake for it.

 

[EdgeCall]

The event started slow but the last two groups really brought it to top level.

To use Mark's catchphrase: "Good girl"

I may not like the coaching team, but I like the kid. And that is what matters.

He has work to do if he wants to catch the skaters in front of him. But, this is Men's Singles skating. Anything can happen!

[yesterday]

phew, I'm done!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow that is some mighty fine clearing out of the stadium by the audience here.

I'm surprise they don't all have enormous bags for all the flags

As is typical for the menfolk it was up and down and all over!

Always an exciting watch though!

See ya'll tomorrow!

 

[surimi]

If Kao and Shun were French, would we also hear whining about how Adam is weak and shouldn't have been picked? The 'fans' with a crystal ball, who know exactly how Miura would have done, are the 'best', truly.

 

[LadyB]

The wine is coming on nicely.... oh, wait, still got 3 hours of work to do and a Zoom appraisal with my line manager

But it could have been worse too
