2024 NHK Trophy Men's Free Skate

[readernick]

That's about as good as Andrew can skate. Obviously, he still won't be able to beat Grassel for the podium But, I loved it. Congratulations, Andrew. He always comes off as such a nice humble young guy.

Are they going to call his URs and not Grassel's ? That seems a bit unfair.

Aww Andrew T's so happy! And the crowd goes wild!

I wonder if he'll make it to the GPF? He got bronze last week didn't he?

 

[auser]

Thank you for the gorgeous skate Andrew! *chefs kiss*

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well that was great

Me not being fully satisfied with the program itself aside, man what a skate. He's finally putting it all together isn't he... if somehow he doesn't manage to get onto the podium it's going to be a second group of men for the ages

oh oh.. this SHOULD be ahead of Daniel for the quality... but TES will say no because the panel didn't call some of the URs ???

just talking out loud... don't mind me

Torgs is really making his case for not the US #3, but the US #2.

Well, I joined halfway through Andrew's programme, but what I saw was utterly beautiful.

 

[YuBluByMe]

OMGGGGG!!! He did it! Andrew did it yall!! I wanted him to put the combo on the first 3A because I was afraid he’ll REP but then the second 3A was better than the first. PB incoming!

 

[EdgeCall]

Clean run, great skate! Always in touch with the music.

Andrew. Great outfit and program. All greens. He is a marvelous skater. Great skate.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Wow Andrew.. lovely performance and the tech dazu! Can we call Andrew consistent now?

Never call a man consistent, the moment you do so they start to sprout needles

 

[Warwick360]

What a marvellous and joyful performance that was. Torgashev reminded me of Yagudin at his best. The joy and vigour.

Also, 10 points to his plain, yet mesmerisingly billowing white shirt.

 

[snowflake]

Oh how happy he and his coach are

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh wow he is not going on the podium

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Tacchan GANBA!!!

 

[FlossieH]

He is so delighted with that. Ahead of both Matteo Rizzo and Jason Brown. They are big scalps for Andrew to take.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Goooo Tsuboi! It must be exciting - but also terrifying - to skate in front of your home country crowd for a podium place! Hope he has a humdinger!

I just missed everything because the ISU blocked everything NHK trophy for Germany between yesterday and today and I had to set up the VPN. No wonder noone watches FS. You literally can't.

I'm one of Andrew's biggest fans. But, I don't think the URs calls that were missed for Daniel would have changed the order. I do think Grassel's score should be signficantly lower though... not sure how he got similar PCS to Andrew. His program is very empty.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well damn... it really could be a Japanese sweep
