2025 JGP Ankara Men's Free Skate

Fedir. Fun outfit. Good program. He is an entertainer. Good skate.

I'm awake and ready to watch some skating. I'll have to go back and watch the first couple groups I missed. I liked that choreo sequence from Fedir. Good job!

this boy has yet to get adjusted to his new long limbs, look how stiff he is. lyrics are really questionable, is this the same singer as Ilia's vampire not vampire song?

I like Yihe's skating. Such a shame about the jump mistakes. I'm sure he nails 3 axels in practice all the time. The music was so angsty, I'm not sure it fit him.

Yihe. Nice outfit and a good program. Not the skate he wanted. So sad.

Not just in training, but also pretty consistently in domestic competitions. I reiterate that I didn't expect him to be sent out to any JGPs this season at the end of last season, and maybe he didn't expect that either. Pressure (internal or external) and inexperience are the perfect breeding ground for bad skates, unfortunately, especially for already inconsistent Junior boys.

This Rachmaninoff is one of the pieces in a glorious classical mashup Concerto Popolare (from the mid-century Hoffnung concerts) and every time I hear it, my mind adds in "Roll out the Barrel..." It is a good thing no one is here to hear me giggle madly.

Tadeas. Great shirt. Good program and good skate.

a wrong one, despite Ted trying to put tons of sugar on it

Mixed bag, but I think this was a good skate for Tadeas. Definitely much better than at Czech test skates.

I've always been pro-glove, ice is cold!

Listening to Ted and Mark, I have never had strong opinions on gloves. I had no idea people so vehemently hate them. I think sometimes they look nice.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Wow, time really does go by fast. I remember when Seo Minkyu was a little peepsqueak!

Thanks for the info!! I know the least about men's discipline so I wasn't familiar with him before. If he was nailing 3 axels in domestic competitions, why did you think he would not be given a jgp?

And blades sharp... I can definitely think of a few skaters who might have liked some gloves in hindsight after cutting themselves.
