Shaquille didn't even bother with a costume at all. He probably pulled the pants and top out of the laundry basket in a rush to get to the arena.

eta. He is a really big boy. Kurt noticed he was probably injured during the skate.

I suppose it would be too much to ask to get through this event without Josh Groban.....

Another tall boy. He jumped quite well. Could improve his SS.

Loving the technical commentary banter between Kurt Browning and Ted Barton....How great is that! Skate Canada has really upped the quality of its streamed coverage.

Found their discussion of the challenges for Shaquille Davis, who is no longer just tall [and whipcord thin], but big and broad now, absolutely interesting.

And provides insights about the adaptations Roman, Nic and Nam are having to make. My takeaway was that the big guys have to be so technically perfect to keep it under control, as that mass and centrifugal force will be unforgiving of errors a smaller and lighter skater could more easily compensate for.

Simple, well-cut and well-fitting, music appropriate and TV ready costume. Doesn't have to be flashy...

I find the tall boys tend to be somewhat klutzy.

Joseph is no klutz, even with a fall. Settle down, Joe.

Joseph is a refreshing change and a treat after all the klutzy tall guys. I like his skating from the start. Well, I always get a feel of the skating from the first second of movement.

Well done, Joseph.

Not holding my attention.....

Following up on the last Ted and Kurt discussion on the risk of vocals, this program needed something to be "added"....

See. I like tall guys. I guess we associate with guys with similar features. Joseph was fun to watch but the program is boring
