FYI Shoma is back to silver blades. Someone please let the Lombardia camera operator know.
Oh my gosh -- Jason skated onto the ice and I barely recognized him. Looking for the Practice reports thread.
Can I just create one - am I allowed to start a new thread in the competition forum?
The phrase “kill your darlings” comes up in writing advice but it’s how I feel about some of these GP events. While Skate Canada isn’t quite as nutty as the upcoming Boyang versus Kolyada versus Hanyu (versus BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE), SC still has at least four guys I would love to see make it onto the podium but aren’t being discussed as likely candidates for medals or the GPF. [emoji24] Wishing everyone a clean skate and hope all of you at the event have unobstructed views, water bottles with caps, and a great time!
I cannot see anyone finishing ahead of Shoma, but everything is possible for the podium between Messing, Junhwan, Sadovsky and Samarin. Haven't made my mind up for the predictions yet.
Other than Shoma, hoping for Junhwan, Jason, Nam, and Keegan to medal.
That’s too many lol - should be a good competition!
LOL, but that's when competitions are at their best :hpull: So many to like.
I haven’t been as excited for a figure skating competition this season as for this. Excited to watch all of them.
Prediction after short:
Shoma
Jason
Keegan
