2021 JGP Kosice: Men's Free Skate

I´m getting nervous he will be off the podium

Love how this conversation is going over my head.

For the benefit of those that don't realise, I've never watched "Game Of Thrones".

And there's that man and his horse again!

You know, I reckon the arena DJ is reading this, and is now playing it again and again for badness just because we are complaining so much.

Will has a lot of power, but needs to control the nerves, and timing of jumps. The program music was not helping him.

 

[PavelSky]

Plusсhenko has first gold at international competitions as a coach?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Congratulations anonymoose

The least they could have done was played the original. I'm watching the women's free tomorrow, and I'm sure we'll have more horse/road, sparkly chandelier, and wailing ballads.

I got 20 points in the competition game. Oh well. I agree with the top 5 now.

 

[LadyB]

Well done, Kirill!!! That was indeed wonderful!
And a silver for Ilya! Nice one, lads!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Almost an hour to go before Pairs' FS starts, time to do my Duoingo and brew some green tea

 

[Jeanie19]

I'm so happy William is on the podium. Skating last is tough. But I think he has a bright future.

i scored 25 but i'm happy anyway

Ach, Corey misses out on the podium again.

I hope this is not a sign that he is going to become the new Březina - the perennial fourth position finisher.

He was 3rd in the FS, so it was the SP that dropped him down. But, hopefully it will go better the next time we see him.

It would have been great to have British skaters on the Men's podium in consecutive Junior GP's...

But, congratulations to those guys that will be standing on the podium later on.

Anyway, that is my LIVE viewing finished for today. And for the event.

All the best to everybody still to do their Free Skates in the Pairs, Ladies, and Ice Dance categories.

Will reminds me of another fav, Alex Krasnozhon, my wild jumper. I miss Alex Like Alex, Will needs control, control, control, and to channel and refine that passion.

i fell in love with a cute little Russian Junior five (?) years ago, Ilya Skirda, never to be heard from again. I refuse to give my heart to another.

at least that’s what I’m saying now

Yeah, totally. I think it's also his body shape.

As for Ilya, he doesn't seem to do much skating these days. His BFs he used to hang out with have all found their spot: Murashov in Switzerland, Andrei Mirin as a pair skater in Mozer Team. I was always hoping, Ilya would also find his place. He was so musical!

Me too

I don’t know if it’s Michailov or other addition to coaching in Plushenko’s school, but Sarnovskiy did great strides from last year. He was getting more and more comfortable at the end of last year, but now he is actually getting choreo work for him. Also, can I say that Yablokov’s spinning intensity is something? Crossing all fingers and toes that this power will come through in all his elements because in tests his free was wonderful. It’s like he is living the goofy kid behind and emerging

so sad Anisimov folded, but well… hopefully he will find his style.

and Lee for staying in top 6!

That applies for most juniors. Risk of heartbreak is part and parcel of it, so don't be afraid to like Kirill

Also consider that Skirda's coaches do not have a great track record of raising junior men. Kirill's are new on the scene, who knows?

Kirill Sarnovsky was already with Mikhailov for the first half of last season. Then he got transferred to Irina Alferova's (aka Veronika Zhilina's mother) group, and now it seems he is back in the Mikhailov/Alekseev group (in fact all three Sarnovskys are back).

Does anyone know why William was absent from the medal ceremony?

 

[ladyjane]

Corey was third at the FS (and was pleased with his skate, that was obvious) and 4th overall again. Just as in Courchevel. But I'm happy for him anyway - a jump from 8th to 4th feels better than a fall from 2nd to 4th (that's what happened in the first Courchevel).
