2025 Cup of China Men's Short Program

[Ares]

An interesting program from Vladimir

 

[labgoat]

Oh he looks very stressed in the K & C. Please don't get down on yourself.

 

[EdgeCall]

What a creamy 3A.

 

[labgoat]

Daniel gets such amazing height on his jumps - the first twirled a bit after landing, but the second was nifty. Talk about a voidy skater - he is a poster child.

 

[EdgeCall]

That was great!

 

[elektra blue]

oh no i couldn't catch my son

 

[Ares]

You made mama proud. Am I right? @elektra blue

Daniel's clearly worked hard on his presentation, his movements seem a lot more refined throughout this program. There are still some awkward lines but it's certainly much better in the past. I love the 4Lo on the music. He could still work on his head movements, it sometimes looks a little random when he throws his head back. His spins are fast and centered, which is nice and nets you a lot of points. His quads looked a little tight, I'll be curious to see what the tech panel does.

looks like we have a lenient tech panel, loop and axel not reviewed at all

Daniel. Nice outfit and program. Really good skate.

 

[Kris135]

Good skate but it felt odd.

 

[elektra blue]

is my baby's tango tangoing?

 

[Arriba627]

Daniel looking prepared and ready to roll for Milano. Little off on the combo. Hopefully he put last year's white t-shirt to rest!

 

[labgoat]

His coach is straight out of the 70s

 

[elektra blue]

You made mama proud. Am I right? @elektra blue

he always does

 

[auser]

I like the balletic stretch of the positions Daniel weaves into his programs. Well done.

 

[Kris135]

I think that is a bit high in my opinion

 

[EdgeCall]

is my baby's tango tangoing?

I'd call it stronggoing, but it definitely looks healthy.

 

[labgoat]

Junhwan has his game face on

 

[elektra blue]

I'd call it stronggoing, but it definitely looks healthy.

he looked a bit like a fish out of water with this program, but maybe now he's more into it

 

[elektra blue]

my son Misha last in this group but i'm sure he'll rock it
