2017 CS Nebelhorn Mens SP

[snowflake]

My goal for tomorrow is to figure out how to get the live stream to work on my TV.

The right cables connected to the right holes I presume. Good luck!

Deja Vu!

ETA: I'm ready for some new warhorses, though

and this was a nice performance, even with all the flaws

Conor's last spin made me wince, I confess.

He would need a lot of speed to pull it off, particularly with the entrance into it. He didn't have the speed, so it just lost momentum all the way through. But I do admire the entrance into it, which I thought was clever.

The entrance into tTakelum's final spin combo is really interesting. That is one ambitious piece of music to skate to. Up to the step sequence, I was admiring his restraint with using his arms (like Boe, he's very "limby," but unlike Boe he didn't flail those arms around willy nilly until the step sequence).

Yes, he isn't at the level of other skaters, but I admire him for skating to a very ambitious piece of music and not being swallowed up by it.

Agree with what you say. He's tall, but he doesn't fall into the traps that other tall people do. And it was big music.

Don't understand why he didn't get a time deduction. But, I'm not complaining!

Oh, yeah, lol, I have plenty of experience using my giant long HDMI cable. I just want to make sure I test it before tomorrow's skates start!

You can quibble about scores, but I think the placements so far are surprisingly spot on.

Right, off to Croatia to wind back a few minutes to watch Polina U during the interval.

Not sure if I will be back to watch the final group LIVE, but if I am I will be wearing my British hat.

ALL THE BEST GRAHAM!!!

Does anybody know how many spots are open for men's?

6.

I don't believe we've had anyone who earned one at Worlds give one up

LOL like I know who Polina U is? But have fun with her thumbsup:

 

[xeyra]

Unlike pairs, with the exception of Johnson, basically everyone competing here is doing so for Olympic spots, right?

Good to see you Chemistry66

Yes, Nebelhorn is really like a Last Chance Gas Station for people qualifying for the Olympics.

Ouch, now I feel bad for not cheering for the Dutchman (though I did cheer for Jorik).

I guess Polina Ustinova

Kennes looked pleased as punch with his score. Maybe he just wanted to break 60 points in the SP.

Awwww, it's nice to be remembered <3 Good to see you too.

Countries already qualified are:

Japan, USA, China, Spain, Canada, Russia, Israel, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Latvia, Australia, Kazakhstan, France, Czech Republic, Germany

I tracked all the Worlds-earned spots last year here: https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?63420-2018-Olympic-and-World-Championship-Spots

ETA: Though I know Misha Ge wasn't sure if he'd use his spot so...

Yep.

My family usually holiday in Cyprus (in the town that Polina lives in, actually), so I have been cheering on the Cypriot skaters and trying to raise their profile.
