2018 Lombardia Trophy: Men's pre-game chat

[mau]

The battle for the silver will be interesting, I like both Dmitri and Kazuki and I hope they skate clean.

Maybe Matteo can surprise us on home ice and get a place on the podium. Every scenario for me seems good.

Tim Dolensky in the last flight

Maybe he can use that amazing headless scratch spin, the best of anyone male or female — not just Lombardia, but of everyone —to good effect

That spin of his is quite something! It always scares me a little bit when I don't see his head!!!!! (as in, it's really headless!)

figureskatingm1 @ Twitter made an excellent time chart of the upcoming competitions! https://twitter.com/figureskatingm1/status/1038732566772117507

I like the way this consolidates everything into one easy-to-read chart. As we mentioned in another thread, it looks like there may have been some time adjustments for Lombardia, so the times listed after today's Draw are probably the best thing to follow. For example the all-in-one chart shows the men's event starting at 19:00, official draw shows 18:30. ADDING: Ladies looks ok, but it looks like there's a half hour discrepancy on the pairs too.

I know! :agree: I saw it live at a summer comp last year, and my mouth hung open, because I always thought it was some trick with cameras or something, but his head is *really* a blur, even live:eeking:

Always had a soft spot for Timmy D.....

Good luck to all men, I hope everybody's clean
a possible outcome, with a little plot twist
1. Shoma Uno - I think this is pretty much locked
2. Kazuki Tomono
3. Matteo Rizzo
4. Dmitri Aliev
