2021 Skate Canada: Men's Free Skate

[labgoat]

Raf doesn't coach Alysa, Massimo Scali does

I thought he was her jump coach and Massimo & Jeremy did edges and choreo

Tanaka "Popper" Detective-san (le sigh)

 

[Lutzedge]

So he won't be there for Alysa either?

Raf doesn't coach Alysa.

Oh no... a terrible start for Keiji.

Keiji the popstar

Just a note.. Canada takes our Covid rules pretty seriously. Raf made what sounds like an honest mistake but mistakes have consequences.

 

[LadyB]

I am still loving him. I have incurable feelings❤

Bless. I know what you mean

The den in my parents' house had the same color and design scene as Tanaka's outfit.

Right? Only thing missing is the shag carpet.

 

[4everchan]

with all these pops, Tanaka might manage to get all types of doubles in....

 

[Tinymavy15]

nope.. he broke the bubble so he is not allowed on site

Ha ha ha classic raf. But also didn't know they were doing a "bubble" this year figured everyone just had to wear masks when not skating?

Keiji has taken us back to the 70s

Nice 3A combo!

 

[snowflake]

what is stupid??? that he is not allowed on site or that he broke the bubble?

that he broke the bubble.. I suppose he knew the rule

Right? Only thing missing is the shag carpet.

We'll put it on the pants so they'll be nice and fuzzy. It'll protect him from falls

Yes, but one of Nina Mozer's ponchos looks just like their carpet, so if she magically appears in the kiss and cry with Mr. Tanaka it will make my day.

I appreciate his love of skating, but keiji skating do nothing for me -_-

 

[msteach3]

I seriously don't understand this music choice. Why???

 

[mrrice]

I can't imagine Jason doing pairs... his arms don't look strong enough to do a lift. Thank goodness he devoted himself to singles so we can all marvel at his gorgeous skating.

Rudy Galindo did pairs with Kristi. Rudy was tiny and even thinner than Jason

ted says he made a mistake.... we are very strict up here..

 

[Jontor]

Oh Keiji-san! The jumps not there at all today. He will drop quite a bit I'm afraid...
