Bychenko, the usual grandness! The program is nicely structured.

 

[Crossover]

Honestly, I dozed off...because of fatigue, but he skated to a nice music though.

 

[Lysambre]

Jorik is really a good surprise for me, I had never seen him before but I'm enjoying his skating .

[Interspectator]

I like this Progam. So much Drama. :thumbsup:

 

[Crossover]

What a big cheer for him from the audience. Jorik was fast, dynamic, and unconventional. I liked his performance.

 

[MIM]

Jorik!!!! It was not as smoothe as he wanted it to be. But a great effort from him and he got rid of voice!!!!

Such a joy to watch him! Maybe Olympic season he can work with Lori to elevate his skating artistically. His talent and assets are too precious not to be maximized.

 

[Violet Bliss]

A Battle Of Life And Death? Really? Jorik, it's only figure skating. And a minor competition.

[Violet Bliss]

Well done, Mikhail!

 

[Lysambre]

Well, that was not the skate he wanted. Hopefully he'll be more on top of his game for his GPs .

 

[cathlen]

Sigh. I have a bad feeling regarding Mika's current season...

 

[SarahSynchro]

I've never seen a male skater do a biellman that doesn't look painful.

 

[DiamondDust]

Mikhail... I don't know, I didn't like the music (gave me the impression of a circus show) and though he performed well to it, I was unimpressed overall

 

[MIM]

Is Kolkata repeating his LP from last year? It is way too similar to his SP( repeating). I want to see him in a different style of dance.

Lori would never be someone I would think of as "elevating skating artistically"...and I think Jorik is artistic already - it's the tech side he needs to work on.

I'm not a fan of Mikhail's FS or the costume at all. :disapp:

 

[Biellmann]

I'm so thankful for Yuzuru's colorful sparkly costumes :dev2:

 

[Crossover]

I chuckled a couple of time because he reminded me of my neighbor's unpredictable cat... The program looked busy, so needs to be mended up a bit?

 

[Lysambre]

Please Finlandia crowd, stop clapping when it's quiet music, that's unnecessary and disturbing
