Let’s go Kirk!!!!

Kirk. Great outfit and program. Shame about the waxel fall. Wonderful performance and ending head stand.

Nice 3F from Kirk Haugeto to open but fall on axel. Good recovery with 3Lo2T and 3L3T. Great performance energy during choreo sq.

 

[Jeanie19]

Thomas. Nice shirt. Good program and skate.

 

[Jeanie19]

Henry. Great outfit. Really good program and performance. He made the most of being called up.

Kirk Haugheto has the kind of personality and nervous energy that young Kurt Browning used to have.

Fall on opening 3L from Henry Gao but recovered well with 3T2A. Hands down on 3T and popped 3 loop but nice 3S and expression during choreo sq.

 

[Jeanie19]

Joshua. Nice outfit and program. Very good skate.

Thank you Thomas - love me a lovely, stylish Spartacus. Very elegant even if not everything worked. I expect you will grow and develop some more muscle to help with the jumping.

I think Kirk likes my goose

Ben was making a lot of complimentary comparisons yesterday including Torgashev.

Louis. Great outfit and program. Really good skate and his such a happy skater.

Nice 2A and 3L3T to open the program from Louis Mallane. Solid skate from him.

Yay Henry Gao! So glad you got to skate here. Love the style but needs to concentrate a bit more on cleaning up the elements . Flourishes are great, but need to be limited when they start interfering with some jumps and spin setups. Find the balance and the consistency will follow. Love the skating and personality - you are special.

Last ice resurface. My back is giving me major grief.

Yes I know Andrew and he are friendly. To me they are two different styles. Andrew is a power skater more like Elvis Stojko while Kurt is more Kurt Browning with less consistency.

Very nice outing for Joshua. I am not used to the fellas from Detroit finishing highly - so kudos to him on giving the judges clean, clear skating positions and elements. Solid skating.
