2024 JGP Riga Cup Men's Short Program

[yuumagical]

Oh my lord, I hope this is true. Hearing Ted, Mark, and Jason in the same broadcast might make me feel premenopausal for the first time in decades.

I hope so too, Jason seems like the type of person who would be ideal for commentating on juniors!

 

[Ichatdelune]

There are certain people that should repent for the rest of their lives for creating a genre nobody wanted, like Tommee Proffitt for (shudder) epic golden age pop and the case here, Tokio Meyers for trap classic

 

[Ichatdelune]

I could... i could also take a bus. i am 15 minutes away... right now, it's so much better than it was yesterday. On the way back, I will bum a ride from my last student though...

I recommend not walking either way, we want that ankle to heal fast

 

[jgg220]

The first two skaters' scores are farther apart than most of the side by side jumps at a U.S. juvenile pairs event.

and so there go my men predictions

3. Genrikh GARTUNG
Amber by The Garden and The Tree

3A (forwards, hangs on)
3F
FCSp?
CSSp?
3Lz (turn)+3T (step, holds on)
CCoSp?
StSq?

SP: 54.56

I see Genrikh is starting out with some freestyle swimming... if the rink starts to melt he should be just fine.

 

[Jeanie19]

Genrikh. A couple of shaky landings, but still a good debut.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

and so there go my men predictions

*cough* Adam Siao Him Fa moved up from 17th to 3rd at the World Championships and this is junior men who very much so like to splat so anything is possible just keep on chugging the Kool-Aid of hope *cough*

Yeah. the good news is that i have nothing planned until tuesday... well i had fun things planned but will replace them with ... nothing.
I am saddest about canceling my workout sessions... it was going really well.
At the same time, i am just relieved that it seems like a minor injury. Also, I have a history of sprained ankles... they are hyper flexible.. so it happens often and they tend to heal fast... this one is a bit more intense than some I have had... but not the worse.. and usually, I am fine after a couple days.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I find it interesting that he didn't change his name into the more German Heinrich Hartung, I mean of course he can keep his original name but since his both names are Germanic it wouldn't have made that much of a difference

 

[elektra blue]

ballet in random black suit? - 100

 

[4everchan]

the boy kind of looks shaky you know

they all do...

my main issue with him was not the approximate combo but the overall skating. I was a bit disappointed.

Don't forget that in the LP, he will be able to add all his quads and TES smash his competitors.

4. Hugo BOSTEDT
Don Quixote by Ludwig Minkus

3Lz+3T (holds on)
2A
FCSp?
3F (fall)
CCoSp? (skid when establishing opening camel position, slowed down the spin)
CSSp?
StSq?

SP: 50.01 (3rd)

...do the men have nothing to wear besides all black? It's like an army of waiters has descended upon the ice. I feel like we're checking off a lot of Junior Men Bingo™ tonight: warhorses, black "costumes", messy spins, messy jumps, surprise successes and surprise disasters, T-rex arms in spins.

 

[elektra blue]

generic costume - 5, incorporating the actual ballet element (he kind of did the variotions did he?) + 10, splats and messes...well is a cactus sprout. i liked him

 

[norwegianfairytale]

He really had the chance to slay with a real costume here but no....

 

[Ichatdelune]

Still, I have enough ankles to worry about (my darling, my fencing crush, etc.) so you take care of yours and set me free of that worry, s'il te plaît. By the way, if you have hyper-flexible joints how are your wrists?

if these are the triples how will his quads look? i'm predicting a splatfest

[TT_Fin]

Black suits has been on sale in Riga.

 

[elektra blue]

kitten N. 5. but he's skating to the actual seven nation army instead of a cover (i think, this audio quality is terrible), + 5
