2024 World Championships Men's Free Skate

I'm so distracted by Johnny Weir and his outfit that I barely watched Shaidarov.

Decent skate by Misha. The tech controller will pick him apart I'm sure before napping until Nika skates.

I preferred the two English guys they used to have.

I LOVE Mark and Tonia. My dream team. Sorry to say you will never get your guys back. They got caught saying bad things on a hot mic. Got pulled immediately and Ted was pressed into service.

Two mistakes but some very impressive jumps nevertheless. I like that he knows that he's not a finesse skater so he picks big music and powers around the rink. Having said that, there wasn't much of a program.

Mikhail is a really talented jumper.

Oh dear. what is he wearing?

 

[Mozartistique]

Was hoping it was Firebird. What a missed opportunity for that costume.

Would make a good program for him actually, keep the costume, change the music and voilà

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow those are some big Kazhkistan flags!

In other news, if Adam's still leading by the last group does he get to sit in that backstage area with the chairs? If so, will he have kept his costume on all this time?

Mishin-mention!

Mikhail. Great outfit and good program. 2 falls , but his content is really huge. So much potential.

but we got an epic alcoholic night instead, and i'm fine with that

I kinda like Shaidorov doing Carmina Burana. It suits his intensity. Kinda faded off at the end a bit but nice skate for the young man.

 

[FlossieH]

The men seem to be struggling more with the narrowness of the rink. I'm kind of a bit surprised they were allowed to use it.

 

[msteach3]

Where are you watching Johnny?

 

[Ares]

Two splats on quads but Shaidorov landed a beautiful quad flip. I love Carmina Burana, especially the more traditional rendition like this one.

I badly need Anissina/Peizerat Carmina Burana at Worlds on YT in good resolution. Sadly nowhere to be found. Only potato VHS like recordings are on YT.

IS that Johnny Weir?

 

[moonvine]

I think minimum tech content for world championships should include a quad.

Why?

Bet Johnny is jealous of that hat...

Urmi!!

Ooo, nice score...although apparently 20 points less than he's had? Yiiikes.

Adam slay him count: 5

Mark didn't steal anything from uncle By's closet for the free
