2025 JGP Ankara Men's Free Skate

[TallyT]

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

It depends on the costume, some are better without, some with.

Gloves? Do they protect hands from injuries, cuts etc? Like that they add to a look - when they match.. unobtrusive

Anna S stated that the one time she didn't have gloves she cut her hand.

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?

He did not have any 3A last season. His content was comparable to some of the other Chinese Jr men, but usually executed worse and his PCS were lower, so I was expecting others to beat him at the selection competitions.

He only added the 3A this season, but quite successfully domestically. I don't have all protocols on hand (or in my brain), but I think he has successfully done three 3As in the three competitions he took part in. Not always with positive GOE, but always landed.

Not surprised.. but not the fashionable sheer ones women so often wear to complete an outfit though they are so nice!

Good job Furkan! I was so impressed with the Turkish skaters in the womens yesterday and he was impressive as well.

Furkan. Great shirt and good program. Great home crowd. Really good skate.

 

[TallyT]

That was great!

you don't need to match your costume to the score box, Artur

 

[crystalspin]

I think that was Ted forgetting to mute and going geesh for the triple axel It was indeed nicely done. The rest of the jumps were kinda messy. But i actually think Artur was giving some performance and I liked this skating overall.

The music is awful. The rough jumps along with the overwrought music just made for a tragic watching experience.

 

[Jeanie19]

Artur. Nice outfit. The first combo so good, a few mistakes but he held on.

Lovely choreo sequence...shame about the rest.

Also awesome skate from the hometown boy.

 

[elbkup]

Go Lucius!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow someone actually called their kid Lucius?

He looks really tall too.

 

[elektra blue]

ah les cactus...

Lucius had that first combo, such a shame he fell on the end of it. The harder elements were a little rough for him but I thought his triples that he landed were pretty nice. He needs to work a bit on his component skills but he's a junior so he has time to work on that. Good job!

Lucius. Nice outfit and program. A few mistakes, but he has a 4T and 3A. Good skate.
