We're being spoiled today with mostly clean programs so far.

Wow! Majorov! Great skate.

*Finally gets out of Junhwan high* This is a great competition so far, just one fall and no pops!

SBS commentator just lost all my goodwill by calling Majorov "a chunky little skater". Ew.

How come Skate Canada is so much better than SA? It's only a week difference!

Fresher, more abundant TimBits up north.

 

[snowflake]

YAY Sasha!!! Levels 4 and jumps and all. I'm so happy for you.

 

[mau]

Wow huge 3Lz from Majorov, a little bit odd program tho

 

[WeakAnkles]

Blessed ice (so far).

It's taken me about three times watching this to get Majorov's program. The step sequence is where he sells the 'intentionally awkward and lackadaisical' concept by hitting the beats fairly well. The jumps were on today for him too! Great 4T, 3A, and 3Lz+3T right in the second half.

Outside of that, sometimes the choreography feels interesting but also anemic and that's partially because this music also lacks a bit of energy. Tt sort of rides the same monotone wave through the program. I wish that Majorov would have a better leg line and top line to sell the program more.

The skaters from the final group really need to perform good! It was an amazing first group of skaters

Brendan's going to finish almost last with one of his best skates ever, isn't he.

Do you have a link for TSN? Hopefully I can get it to work for a little peace and quiet!

I'm watching it on TV ... Link (https://www.tsn.ca/figure-skating) goes to the live stream but geoblocked to Canada methinks...

[Zhafiraiha]

OHHH i have never seen Tomoko before, I hope he does great!! Team Japan where you at?

 

[Metis]

Tomono’s costume is gorgeous.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Now that my lovely, magnificent, wonderful darling love has done so well, I can start praying for Kazuki. I adore that charmer, please be clean
