Good skate from Kirills

 

[Jeanie19]

Kirills. Good outfit and program. Good skate. Lots of stuffies from home crowd.

it doesn't count for points but it's allowed

Wow, harsh.

I wonder who the guy on the right is, I saw him with the other Lativan skater too. He looks too young to be a coach!

Gasp! Is that red I see?! And one white glove...is this gonna be MJ related.

No, it's the Music of the Niiiiight.

 

[elektra blue]

come on guys, it's not funny, give Hugo back his other glove, he needs it

 

[anonymoose_au]

Uhoh, those boxes are taking after his shirt...

For real Youtube an ad right in the middle of a skate?

 

[TallyT]

Wow, harsh.

Leave my POTO alone! (Hey, we all must have guilty pleasures....)

 

[Jeanie19]

Hugo. Nice red shirt and cartwheel. Good skate.

Haha I actually enjoy the Music of the Niiiiight. I saw a POTO program without it and I felt ripped off.

Shame about the reds, I liked the starting moves with the glove though. That was neat.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I see Hugo has a flare for the dramatic, first Don Quijote and now POTO with a red shirt, matching the red box. He actually reminds me a lot of Nikolaj Majorov as a single skater.

Also, he is really the definition of a cactus

Interesting did they decide to keep the euler as a thing? I heard it wasn't going to count this season - or maybe I just made that up

All major changes, including the Euler change have been postponed until after the Olympics (i.e. they will be implemented in 2026/27, if the ISU congress aproves of them then).

The change would indeed make the Euler an unlisted jump and it would not receive any BV anymore, so a 3Lz+1Eu+3S combo would be written as 3Lz+3S. This would also enable skaters to do "three"-jump combos like 3Lz+3S+3T, which is not possible currently (as 3Lz+1Eu+3S+3T would be a four-jump combo).

Ah I see, thanks for the info! Interesting!

Wow we've got a costume here!

Yes I keep thinking he is handsome. And hopefully as a coach, age appropriate for me to say so. Apologies for tagging this on but @4everchan is not here.

 

[TallyT]

Oh oh Tsushima music, from the game, I said not long ago someone should skate to this score!

Best costume so far too

 

[anonymoose_au]

Nuts, shame about the jumps, the spread eagles were really nice though!

 

[bartlebooth]

That corner looks jinxed for Mehmet
Ouch, he's Zamboning around

 

[Jeanie19]

Mehmet. I love his outfit and program. Shame about the falls.

 

[FlossieH]

I don't think he was friends with that left corner.

 

[TallyT]

I'm with Ted, yes there were mistakes but he's got promise.

he doesn't own every single attractive man in the business, he just likes to think so and we let him believe it out of the goodness of our heart

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yeah, that corner was uncool.

But yeah, he looks promising! Go Mehmet!
