TORGS HAS A REAL COSTUME no wonder everyone is bombing, this is a huge, earthshaking event in men's skating!

Group 2 - you earned your places in the final group.
Don't let these skaters who mess up half the event take away your thunder.
Special hopes for Andrew & Kazuki & Boyang to skate clean today!

Do you? I, personally, don't. Better SS, yes but he's often checked out until the StepSeq imho. I think Ilya is actually a decent performer it's his SS that let him down.

Yes, I feel that Adam serves more face and personality when he skates. I feel nothing watching Ilia, but do admire and respect him as a jumper; his technical prowess is incredible and groundbreaking for the sport. Malinin is seriously overrated in PCS though, but I know he is getting that boost due to being reigning world champ, due to his consistency, and because of the great difficulty he executes in his programs. As long as Adam continues to blow his SP, the judges will never allow his marks to compete with Ilia. The judges really reward consistency!

Is it Shimaaaa dahhhhhhhhh?

Boyang, did you steal that costume from Shoma's closet? I have no idea how it would fit on Boyang, but such is the magic of Shoma costumes...

 

[museksk8r]

WHAT?! I can’t believe my eyes! Andrew Torgashev actually has a respectable costume for a change!

 

[Seven Sisters]

After that last group, I’m almost afraid to watch this next bunch. So many potential cacti

ETA: and just as I wrote that, Kazuki splats

I hope Lucas takes care of that knee - even if he needs to take time off.

Do the smart thing. Knees are notorious for taking a long time to heal because they do not get enough oxygen to the ligaments.

Andrew has a closet of real costumes. I have seen them. ETA: The real costumes, not the closet

Whether he chooses to favor us with them, only the skating gods or his luggage can say.

I have also seen these costumes. The skin tight mesh, for example, was memorable. You folks just have not been watching Andrew for as long as El and I have

Wow, 4Lz from Boyang in the warmup. Looking at this current group, I'm not confident that any of them will do a 150+ FS. Adam could still definitely win this! I'm really excited to see if Shaidorov pulls off the 3A-4T though.

When he was a junior level skater, he had some nice costumes.

 

[cailuj365]

OK, I guess no 3A-4T.
