2019 Four Continents Men's Short Program

I think there's a squirrel tail on his shoulder!

Oh hello To Build A Home, I thought Julian Yee would be the only one but I was wrong

I say the following in the most sincerely unsnarky way possible -

These early men are no worse than the early men at Europeans. And that has not always been the case.

I think it's a testament to the improving quality of skaters from nontraditional figure skating nations. And that is a very good sign for global growth.

I just read this in a thick David Attenborough voice, -A Documentary on the Evolution of Early Man

This song is approaching warhorse territory quickly. I blame P/C.

To Build a Home is becoming the new Exogenesis

I'll be honest, European men are kinda sad barring Javi(who is now retired, so until Aliev or Kolyada skate up to their potential... it remains just sad)

I just hope he doesn't have to work around this "audience" when he makes his pronouncements.

Kévin Aymoz is giving me everything I need and more with his amazing skating this year.

Complete with the requisite drapey costume in soft, muted colors...

I've got money on Rizzo for next Javier style slow climb up to the very top of the rankings. And France has a few good men. It's sporadic all over though. Men's skating is in an Asia/North America upswing.

I see the Aymoz fans are out in full force.

Let's be real though, 4CC has more top level contenders.

Well, I guess what I was intending to imply was that the early flights of 4CC used to be almost embarrassing. I don't see that now. There's some technical skill, some good interpretation, and so forth. Not at the level of the best skaters, I grant, but none of this has made me pity the skaters.

The overall quality at Euros used to just blow away the overall quality at 4CC. Now, I'd say they're about the same.

 

[ancientpeas]

HEY... I didn't know you were contractually allowed to skate to this song unless you where wearing some shade of pink.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Oh hey, there’s pac man on the boards! Just call me captain slow to notice things...

 

[ancientpeas]

I for one am happy to see more skaters from smaller feds even if they are still in a learning process. I want the sport to grow internationally and reach into places it has never reached before.

 

[jillredhand]

I miss Han Yan and his 3A, but I like He a lot. He's got nice style, and I think his jumps are there. Shame about the fall.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

True..that does have a better ring to it. :thumbsup:

Hey, can I be an honorary Canadian? 'All Dressed' is already my favorite flavor of potato chip?
