2017 JGPF Men FS

[FSGMT]

Great skate by Camden: focused, determined, technically very elegant, that felt great to watch, too! :2thumbs: His was the skate of the night for me!
Krasnozhon deserved to win, but I fear for his technique: he seems to pre-rotate many of his jumps, and many of those look quite fragile, I have a feeling that moving up to more difficult layouts could affect his consistency. I hope I'm wrong, of course!
(Mitsuki is the cutest of the cutest, but his PCS was a bit overrated, let's admit that: hadn't he been in front of a cheering home crowd he would have never received a 70 for that kind of skate)

It’s been a disappointing season on the Men’s JGP and the final was no different. The podium were the best 3 today. Lots of sloppy skating and messy jumps. Disappointed for Erokhov, he has beeen the strongest this season but he had an off day today, hopefully Eteri is kind to him. Ignatov is a really nice skater but he really needs to work on his stamina, in every performance the 2nd half is a real struggle.

Krasnozhin really wanted that win today. I thought he was going to explode at the end. TES he was the best but PCS he should be 4th/5th, still wouldn’t change the result. Dissappointed for Torgashev, hopefully he can bounce back from this.

Ted commented that performing in front of a large audience, compared to normal JGP could be a factor? Might explain today but nit the season.

My fav from all 6 is Andrew and he didn't delivered today. But i think he will develop in the next years, all necessary seeds are there.

Between Ignatov and Erokhov....i will choose Ignatov. Erokhov is quite wooden, i cannot enjoy him. Ignatov has to improve his stamina (a lot) but has many pleasant movements and the potential to develop. Both don't wow me at the moment, i hope some better juniors are coming for Russian team next year.

Alexei is not thinking of the Olympics because he is not yet a US citizen, which I presume means he is a Russian citizen.

Congrats to Alex, Camden, and Mitsuki. I don't know if Andrew needs a coaching change or what, because if the Junior Worlds team were chosen right now it would probably be Alex, Camden, and Tomoki.

Does Eteri always abandon skaters who bomb in the kiss & cry?

Does Eteri always abandon skaters who bomb in the kiss & cry?

She could have stayed with him and chewed him out or given him the cold shoulder & people would say how mean she is then. Who knows, maybe he asked to sit with the men instead.
