2025 JGP Ankara Men's Short Program

[FlossieH]

That was good from Furkan Incel.

you know.. my man started out with the most beautiful classical music... and when he returned after sochi, he still had the ONE chopin program but the rest... i cannot say i liked any of his choices... he even skated to this insipid piece by Eric Radford....

yet, he did so well interpretation-wise, that i forgave him the music choices and even started to like some of the music (like dust in the wind... or his black bird)

I know what you mean, I did manage to warm up quite a lot to Singin' in the Rain last season purely because he grew into the program even though I still think to this day that it wasn't the best fit for him. I will wish for him to find something that plays to his strengths yet broaden his spectrum every single season but I also know that a skater of his calibre will probably manage to elevate most choices. I'm yet to see that elevation with his Exogenesis but it's the early season so

Style-wise very different skaters but I was literally groaning when I learned that my darling was skating to RIYBE and Moulin Rouge, today footage of the steps were revealed and while I just cannot be enthusiastic about Roxanne I knew just from those two clips that I will feel at least some love for both programs, just because my darling is that good. The magic of some skaters, eh.

Storm by Eric Radford, man... Haein also skated to it and she elevated the music enough for me to like the program, I was half convinced that maybe the piece wasn't that boring then I saw it on other skaters of (arguably) a lesser calibre and then I realized it was Haein's interpretation I liked and not the music. I am hoping Haein will do the same for me with her female My Way cover short this season...

English however has huge vocabulary : 600 000 words...

That's because we steal most of every other language!

We are the Borg!

Yes, I just had to use a picture of Seven Of Nine.

Fauxthoven and then... OMG.

 

[elektra blue]

that was so nice from Artur

 

[Ichatdelune]

I was okay with Roman skating to this song (without faux Beethoven in the beginning) but now... désolée, M. Smagulov, but I again realize that it was Roman's skating that I liked... solid skate though

Nice quality, I think more mileage and a bit more speed will help this grow. The spread eagle was lovely. Nice skate.

 

[FlossieH]

I think that was the best I've seen from Smagulov. He's always been a good performer, but I'm not sure I've ever seen him land all the jumps in a programme. The 2T was probably a good decision.

 

[Jeanie19]

Artur. Nice outfit and program. Good 3A and musicality. Good skate.

 

[labgoat]

Nice score

 

[elektra blue]

[Karoltyna]

we could start our own, bottoms up every time Ted butchers a name

I'm too old for that...

 

[labgoat]

Right from the start I can see that Robert is very elegant and musical and expresses the ML tango quite well.

and talking about it... here we gooooooooooooooxanne

[4everchan]

@Ichatdelune i cannot believe Cha chose RYBE and MR... this is a tragedy... and for the Olympics... I am sad.

 

[labgoat]

That was a very long spin combo to the music
