2025 JGP Abu Dhabi Men's Free Skate

[YuBluByMe]

I think Takahashi made it by the skin of his teeth!

Edit: Nope. He misses it. JGPF finalists are Nakata, Seo Minyu, Choi, Nishino, Kazanecki, and Krouglov! Yeah!

Lucius got the Gold.

back for the last score i see, did Sena cactus a lot?

Indeed he did.

Congrats to the medalists and thank you to all the skaters for fine performances.

Omigosh, as much as the women was a dissapointment, men delivered! Final will now have 4 countries with Belgium potentially represented for the first time! All 3 big skating parts of the world! Yay!

 

[elektra blue]

so who goes to the finals?

 

[lariko]

Nakata, Seo, Choi, Nishino and our two boys here, Kaz and Kruglov

Lucius and Denis? Sena and Denis?

I'm not sure. Takahasi has 13 points from his first event and 11 from here. That gives him 24. I think Krouglov (13+13) and Kazanecki (11+15) both have 26. There are already four skaters on 28. I think Takahashi might be the first reserve, rather than qualifying outright.

Lucius and Denis? Sena and Denis?

First. Kazanecki and Kruglov

 

[FlossieH]

so who goes to the finals?

If I am calculating correctly: Rio Nakata, Minkyu Seo, Habin Choi, Taiga Nishino, Lucius Kazanecki and Denis Krouglov.

Edit: I think the reserves are Sena Takahashi, Patrick Blackwell and Genrikh Gartung.

I'm so happy that Denis KROUGLOV made the JGPF, he was a favorite of mine in this competition !

Your poor mam - she'll think there's been some sort of emergency with you ringing that early!!!

Nah, she called me yesterday about that time to tell me how Fedotov Jr and Vornov Really Junior are scoring, and that Fedorov's new FP was quirky. Our two boys in JGPF sure beats that in urgency.

At this pont, it's redundant to say but predictions are fake LOL

JGPF Qualifiers:

1. Rio NAKATA (JPN) - 15+15=30 (493.14)
2. Minkyu SEO (KOR) - 15+15=30 (479.72)
3. Habin CHOI (KOR) - 15+13=28 (459.45)
4. Taiga NISHINO (JPN) - 15+13=28 (452.85)
5. Lucius KAZANECKI (USA) - 15+11=26 (422.3)
6. Denis KROUGLOV (BEL) - 13+13=26 (431.66)

Alternates:

1. Sena TAKAHASHI (JPN) - 13+11=24 (442.56)
2. Patrick BLACKWELL (USA) - 13+9=22 (415.32)
3. Genrikh GARTUNG (GER) - 11+11=22 (429.15)

(Interesting parallel: Sena is in the same situation as Williams/Lewer in pairs, in that he has a higher combined score than either of the two lowest-ranked skaters who made it into the final by virtue of them beating him face-to-face at the last JGP.)

I dunno if I am even scoring in this event.

It's Junior men's skating, that is rarely predictable. Remember Minkyu's 5th place at his first JGP last season? That's how unpredictable this discipline is.

Also, predictions-wise - I had the right five skaters (I think), but in the very wrong order. I think I still get some points, but not a huge amount of them.
