2021 Finlandia Trophy: Men's Short Program

[Skatesocs]

OOh dear

oh it´s Karen?

Wonder if the camera person knows they're dating, or if she was only shown because she's part of the American team there.

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Kostya!!!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Alas I no longer expect anything.

Hey, Alaine Chartrand managed to finally deliver again at her last nationals and I cried buckets, so part of me will always hold out hope for miracles.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Such a charmingly old-fashioned program, right down to the military tunic-y costume. In a sea of emo ballads, you have to give this guy credit for sticking to what works for him!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Does anyone else wish someone would use literally any other section of Nutcracker than this pas de deux though

 

[Beckaboomer]

Oop, Konstantin looking a little off-balance today.

As far as Nutcracker programs go, this one certainly... exists. I do like a couple of the sliding transitions, he got them nicely on the music. Other than that.. eh.

The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy gets used often enough, and I think there was a junior skating to Waltz of the Flowers

True, but there’s two whole acts that are sorely neglected by skating.

Go Keegan

Keegan

 

[Beckaboomer]

Keegan's hair is so fluffy!

His knee bend saved him on that 4T combo! Not super unusual for him. Good 3A, very nice split jump transition into the lutz. He's looking pretty good! I felt like he didn't really get into it until the step sequence but that's understandable this early on.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Yes Keegan!!

 

[Ichatdelune]

That skate deserved #BeTheKeegan (mouths sorry to him, sitting across from me in my room)

Edit: Loved that split jump transition into the lutz

 

[moonvine]

My man! How the heck does he hang onto those jumps?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Holy crap Keegans hair is WILD

Awesome performance, the spins

 

[Seven Sisters]

Keegan looking a tad slow and tentative, no? But he got the job done

I love his wild hair gives him a new look haha

 

[SnowWhite]

In good shape for early in the season. Nice job Keegan

 

[Novalis]

Keegan was awesome! Saw him at the shopping center earlier btw

 

[moonvine]

But where is his hat?
