2018 Lombardia Trophy Mens Free Skate

[Mrs. P]

Invalid element on the 4T repeated, right?

Not Invalid. Just that he would lose 30 percent of the BV. It would be 4T+REP

 

[Latremu]

Coach fluffy is so fabulous.

 

[ancientpeas]

Actually...

Dance training does things to feet

Alas I had but one ballet lesson...and then the teacher told my mother not to bring me back.

Shoma UNO FS 172.05 TS 276.20

LOL "He's actually in first place" announcer? That was a bit rude!

Well a really well placed spead eagle more than earns its keep in the "emotional connection to the music" and "expression" categories. Shoma's is a case in point.

Early days. But that's going to challenge him nicely this season.

And he understands musical highs and lows.

Now for that posture...

 

[Latremu]

"He's actually in first place". Why actually?

 

[pearly]

Oh thank Goodness.

Although Shoma...don't go yellow top on us again with your costume this year.

Shoma can do no wrong, not even with the yellow.

Ted would be all over his posture.

That spread eagle! I still don't understand how that works...I can't turn my feet out like that, it's just not possible.

I watched it and thought "See Danil, you can do 8 free skating moves in this time or you can do just one and have everyone gasp at it".

(Feet go in the ballet second position, but you sort of turn out your ankle/joint too.)

"He's actually in first place". Why actually?

I know! Was that subtle shade throwing?! Is the announcer annoyed the cantilever wasn't there, I must say now that I've noticed it wasn't I'm kinda let down.

Maybe he'll put it back in later...Did he do it in the SP? I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

 

[asyuraniel]

Shoma have problem with all his jump today.. Even his step sequence look unconvinced. I cannot catch all the skater FS score but i believe Dmitri has higher mark in FS than him.

Haha, perhaps. But...I don't know....I just don't feel a connection to that program. I guess I'd like some sort of growth. I don't feel it yet! There's so much to like in spite of that though because he is so great in those basics.

Congrats to Shoma for the Gold and to Dima and Andrea for Silver and Bronze!

That was a bad ballet teacher then. I did 6 years of Jazz and 6 of Ballet and all of my teachers just told me to work harder and practice at home. I, on the hand, only cared about my riding.

Probably he thought something different in Italian that come out as actually in English when translated

 

[pearly]

Actually...

"He's actually in first place". Why actually?

I think they meant currently. I get how that happened for a non-native speaker.

 

[Latremu]

No!! There were no cantilevers in either program! That's right! :eekn:

Maybe the jet lag is affecting his abdominal muscles and he didn't wanna risk it?

 

[Mrs. P]

Forget non-native speakers. This native speaker uses actually way too much.

At least today he didn't say Welcome to I Slob.

Well in her defence I was 6 at the time I didn't actually pay attention for the whole lesson, instead I wandered off to the corner.

Then I took gymnastics, but alas nothing could stop my decline into inflexibility.

Well an exciting competition there!

I'm not sure who's skate I enjoyed the most yet.

I wonder if anyone will skate to Killshot next year.

I'm actually going to watch Dance.
