OMG Evan...I very much appreciate you're from South Africa, but that Man-Ponytail is an immediate -5.00 GOE I'm sorry

 

[Ichatdelune]

What do you call his hairdo? It's neither a bun or a ponytail...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Don't get me wrong, I love "I'm A Pirate". But it was nice to hear some different pieces from "Pirates Of The Caribbean" that we don't hear too often in figure skating getting featured in Kirill's SP before it kicked in.

Still think Alena Leonova had the best "Pirates" routine, though...

His tie has come undone, wish I could fix it for him but I'm terrible with my hands.

"He can do a triple flip we know he can do a triple lutz, they're not dissimiliar" Don't go there, Ted!

When James Toseland had that hairdo a couple of years ago, it was getting called a lot of things, none of which can be repeated here...

It really is silly looking, isn't it?!

Aleska has Class-A drama arms.

I've never heard this song before...it sounds so similar to another one though, I keep expecting the singer to suddenly belt out "I LOVE YOU BABY! AND IF IT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT..." with trombones and everything.

Aleksa
3Lz3T
2A
his arms going into the jumps are a bit flaily but the air position is ok and he rotates fast
3F
I see a bit of Kevin Reynolds in him, same coach?
I liked the arm variation in the last upright spin. Clean skate!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Well done, Aleksa! He had a very solid skate and has nice performance qualities. I am looking forward to seeing him develop more speed and power as he grows.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Do I spy one of my fellow countrymen sitting with Aleksa???!!!

Hello Neil!!!

Got curious and checked, same coach!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Too bad about the jump (and spin) issues - That was a really enjoyable skate otherwise! Matyas has great speed and skating skills, and I like this piece of music.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Matyas
lots of cheers

2A
3F hard fall
aww, rough skate the crowd does its best to cheer him up. Are Czech skaters destined to be talented heartbreakers?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Has there ever been a successful Elvis program? Genuinely curious.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Dang my stream is lagging like anything and keeps stopping! Is it just me and my terrible Aussie internet?

I missed Matyas

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Rough skate by Michal - His jumps and basic skating need work. I'm glad that he was enjoying himself though.
