2024 Four Continents Men's Free Skate

[4everchan]

Uh her literal mother described what happened, I think I can safely say that her mother actually knew how things changed. I wouldn't be holding this grudge if it was a matter of not gelling, it was a matter of one partner preparing costumes while another was trying out with another skater.

I know about all of this. And to me, that just happens. They didn't even compete together. They were in the first stages.

And Kyueun actually retired because of the shock fyi

That's too bad but the shock is perhaps a symptom of a lack of mutual communication and understanding, which wouldn't surprise me.

Max is a top pairs partner. Nobody can dispute that. This is his career. This is his life. He has worked very hard for so many years to get where he was. If he felt, at the beginning of a new partnership that it may not work out, and some other opportunity showed up, well good for him doing what he needed to do.

They were not married you know.

I loved Meagan and Eric. What Eric did to Meagan was way worse imho... yet, I cheered for him and Vanessa. It's their lives and businesses.

Wow Mikhail didn't come to play, he came to slaaaaay.

I loved Nathan's costumes. He had this "I just got up and grabbed whatever I found in the closet" vibe that worked for him and him only. It can't be duplicated.

me too.. I always thought Nathan was so perfectly elegant.

Not my cup of tea but he can certainly jump quads.

Mikhail seems to be improving as a skater all the time. I think keeping this program was a good idea, he seems more comfortable in the choreo and knows where all the musical accents are. The opening Lutz was dreamy.

Mikhail's skating isn't my cup of tea but I do appreciate how much he has improved this year. The spins have gotten a lot better (well except for the last one).

molodet Misha! Urmanov's skaters don't do expressions but the tech was crazy

 

[anonymoose_au]

That was awesome!

Love that his costume top is themed

Love this guy, always great music, great costumes, great to watch

 

[elektra blue]

this music is so epic, perfect description of a night at the pub with @balabam and some happy monks

 

[4everchan]

yeah... not in my fave list. I will leave this one for his many fans

 

[YuBluByMe]

Shaidorov! An ambitious layout and a great skate for him. He just needs more speed and to losing points on spins.

 

[TT_Fin]

I think he has potential to more expression. Somebody needs to plan such a choreography for him.

Not my cup of tea but he can certainly jump quads.

gosh... we always agree on skaters... this is hilarious.

Chris said "Humdinger"!

More importantly... BOYANG!

Kinda crazy isn't it!

 

[anonymoose_au]

And of course Jun! He looks ready to throw down! Although check out Yuma's lead there, he'll be tough to beat.

Thank you, I was trying to figure out what that was.

 

[FlossieH]

I love that programme from Mikhail. I just wish judges would go with it more.

 

[TT_Fin]

So many favs of mine but must leave now. Good luck everybody.
