2017 GP NHK Mens FS

Yowchies! Pretty much a technical error on every jumping pass for Sato - wild landings, one fall, two double-footed, three-turn, singled the 3Lo. Shame since he actually has nice choreographic touches here and there, particularly that spin to "Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!"

Hiroaki SATO (JPN)
The Barber of Seville
In red velvet coat with gold trim, white lace jabot and cuffs, reddish-brown velvet pants, and knee-high black boot covers. Which actually looks better than you'd think.

go little dude!
3A hangs on
4T step out
4T< 2ft + REP
StSq
CSSp holy crap dude how many features you going for here? Save some for the other spins!
3A-turn-2T rippon
3F< 2ft ouch, rough fall - sat on both feet
3Lz free leg goes down and he nearly falls but he hangs on
FCCoSp
3S 2ft
1Lo
ChSq, nearly falls backwards at the start
CCoSp

Can tell he's just up from Juniors, he was sucking in the big ones late. Still, he's adorable and fun. I'll keep an eye on him, I think.

The Japanese flags are out! Somehow I missed them at the Ladies...I'm sure they must have been there though...

I have to admire Hiraoki for showing no sign of visible sweating in that costume...wonder what he uses

 

[peese]

"Mini Oda" had trouble to some degree with every jumping pass...too bad...like him alot!! Tons of potential here!!

 

[matmuh]

[LadyB]

Worst Grand Prix ever!

 

[Anni234]

Electricity is back and so am I! Too bad it's just for the time Aliev is falling.

 

[LadyB]

Oh no!!! Poor lad.

 

[anonymoose_au]

some popcorning here.

Indeed. I do like popcorn though - which reminds me I totally forgot to buy some, dang.

Huh, that's was a weird music cut Dima.

 

[OS]

Alieve s a great talent that has big potential but it is just not happening for him this season is it? Will he even make the team? Is he still going through a growth spurt or something? How old is he?

He actually has programs I can get behind, really super rare for a Russian guy.

 

[Warwick360]

Aliev is my new Kovtun it seems. And I don't mean it positively.

Is it just me or does his pacing not match the music?

Speaking of Kovtun, where is the guy? I see no sight of him. I could almost say, surprisingly, that I miss him.

 

[dailytg20]

Aww, Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack. His music choices are tugging at my heartstrings.

Im sure you wish the electricity was off a bit longer
Maybe for the rest of men's skate

 

[LadyB]

He had more interesting music when he was a Junior. The programme doesn't do him justice.
