2018 JGP Ljubljana Mens Free Skate

[Mrs. P]

but here she is still first =)

But she is not here.

 

[Ichatdelune]

The traditional Russian-North American-Japanese podium again, I think.

Jeez Louise what a great men's competition this week has been! So much clean/near-clean skating, great job all men!

 

[zebobes]

Mark looks a little nervous.
3 Axel, nice.
3 Lutz
3 Axel, 3 turns, waits, manages a 2 Toe.
3 Flip-Eu- 3 Sal
3 Loop, hand down, 2 Toe
Nice 3 Flip
2 Axel.

Pretty impressive skate for Mark, but it's not going to be enough to stay on the podium.

 

[Mrs. P]

Another cleanish skate from Mark! A solid final group.

I'm not sure Mark will get on the podium.

 

[Colonel Green]

Mark was my pick for most-likely-to-disintegrate in the final flight, and he didn’t. Not perfect by any means, but good work.

Yes....I'm pretty proud of all the men here -- all of them really fought!

 

[Ichatdelune]

This was a great competition, with a whole lot of strong and/or clean skates. I'm happy that I stayed awake to see Younghyun's SB and all this great skating.

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh man Conrad missed the podium by a hair!

Love this podium though!

 

[cheerknithanson]

I think Tomoki might have qualified.

 

[Colonel Green]

Oh, Conrad, missed the podium by 0.01.

All three of the podium finishers should make the final, I expect.

 

[TheBallerina]

The scores were so close! Congrats Petr, really well-deserved

I am feeling a little bit sad for Artur, I would have liked for him to earn a better spot and still have hopes for a final, but I'm sure he will be back for the Junior Worlds in a better shape :agree:

 

[Princessroja]

I think Tomoki might have qualified.

I came here to comment that very thing! Two silvers should definitely qualify him.

 

[Colonel Green]

Shimada’s silver and bronze will very likely be enough as well, though he’s behind Torgashev in the queue.

 

[bennorii]

Lol. So is Rusfed going to give Danielian's assignment back to Murashov now?

 

[champagnerain]

All right, my mathematically-inclined friends, it's time for y'all to start figuring out exactly who has qualified and every possible scenario next week that would theoretically lead to the skaters who are on the bubble to qualify.

Annnnnd.....GO!

 

[Ichatdelune]

It's 4 am here, and I cannot do math for the life of me to figure out who else other than the confirmed three is going to the final. Thank you all for keeping me company, see you tomorrow.

Petr Gumennik, RUS, 30 (1st220.04
Camden Pulkinen, USA 28 (1st/2nd
Tomoki Hiwatashi USA, 26 (2nd/2nd 428.24)
Andrew Torgashev, USA 24 (1st/4th, 396.38)
Koshio Shimada JPN, 24 (2nd/3rd 433.4)
Stephen Gogolev 22 (1st/5th, 414.30)
---
Kirill Iakovelev, RUS, 22 (2nd/4th)
Mitsuki Sumoto, JPN, 20 (2rd/5th)
Conrad Orzel, CAN, 18, (4th/4th 413.4)


Still to come
Andrei MOZALEV, RUS, 15, 217.12
Adam Siao Him Fa FRA, 11 199.14
Yuto Kishina, JPN, 11 191.80
Yuma Kagiyama, JPN, 9, 194.73
Artur Danielian, RUS, 7, 210.49 (Not sure if he's going?)

Crazy how high caliber this competition this was. Artur would have medaled pretty much elsewhere.

 

[StitchMonkey]

Andrei MOZALEV has a gold and is assigned next week. He is in the mix.

 

[SnowWhite]

So basically, Andrei Mozalev should be in (you never know with the men of course, but even a 4th will move him ahead of Koshiro. Since Koshiro was third here, if either Adam or Yuto get 2nd in Armenia it would come down to a tiebreak. If either won, they'd be in instead of him. Yuma would need to win to be in.
