India! India!

Everyone's a legend these days

Some promising skaters coming out of South Africa! I remember another guy from JGP 2021 in Ljubljana, who also had strong spins and choreo elements. Wonder if they are from the same school in SA?

They are indeed. The Western Province Figure Skating Club in Cape Town.

Lots of work to do still but it's good to see that there's somethin' cookin' in India.

I think working on posture, and core strength will be of great importance for this young man. It would help his spins immensely, and his air position too, which would allow him to do the triples better than he did here, because the height is there.

Right, Nicolas, that was the guy. I wonder if we will see him at JGP this year as well, he still has one Junior season.

 

[labgoat]

He really has some spring to his jumps. He just needs some direction.

He's on the entry list for JGP Budapest

I won't mind the Indians to spice up the sport a little.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww I missed Vinceman (awesome name) because I was at church.

Nice to see him in 1st though.

 

[Jeanie19]

I'm here. Overslept. 4:15 a.m.

 

[yuumagical]

I thought you were, but just wanted to check.

I'm really looking forward to seeing his FS (although, I could happily pass on hearing that Sam Smith song ).

CaroLiza_fan

I actually don’t mind the Sam Smith song, so it will likely be more enjoyable for me to watch.

The junior men seem to be less afraid of sparkles than the seniors.

Artur carries himself with a certain dignity on the ice. Love the green shirt. Interesting illusion with the blade held.
