2021 Skate Canada: Men's Free Skate

[Jontor]

Oh no Alex! I think that wonderful 4Lz took out all the stamina from him. A lot of log-skating and he left out 3 jumps in 2 combos! That is as expensive as Russian caviar...

Oh Sasha

Simon, you suck. You're a jinx! Show yourself the door!

 

[Ruthypegs]

A clunky skate for The Skating Log - I really admire his strength and resilience, though.

 

[TontoK]

At this rate, that lackluster performance from Morisi may earn him a medal.

At least it has a better chance of working than what I do (just hyperventilate while clutching my comfort plushie Fluffette)

Is BTK ready for Keegan to skate? I could clutch my Simone Biles GOAT stuffie, which should have magical powers for what I paid for it.

Why does Samarin always choose such creepy music...

When this program is executed correctly, it is very interesting and beautiful in its own way. You just need to keep up with the music and not simplify the choreography. Sasha couldn't.

 

[msteach3]

So far this group has been uninspiring

 

[EdgeCall]

If the programs only went for 30 seconds Samarin would be a top contender.

Canada's #ConradOrzel #SCI21 FS (149.56/222.75) "Definitely the overall from the short was a bummer, but I was able to bounce back and deliver two great toes in the free skate. Even though there were some mistakes, I was still happy with the performance in general."

I can't decide if these skates make me feel better or more anxious about my faves (*flashbacks to Junhwan's protocol at Asian trophy*).

Oh lord he and my son skate next week *says a prayer*

BTK is sitting behind me as I type and watch, he looks relaxed enough

On the other hand +5 for the coach Svetlana Sokolovskaia for being a motherly attachment figure. Not only for her student but also for us.

 

[yuumagical]

I may not appreciate Samarin much, but at least he was reaching outside of his comfort zone and attempting to emote here. He looked in pain, hoping he gets a good rest after this...

 

[s_parks]

DON'T REMIND ME OF THAT

I can't help it; i'm fraught with anxiety about his neverending foot injuries and covid training situation...

Anyways. Back on topic. yeah, samarin will never be my favorite...

Ouch but you aren't wrong

 

[lariko]

aww, poor Samarin…

 

[ana]

Go Sota!

 

[moonvine]

Well, I apparently think that shouting "Conrad, spins!" at the TV will help

Ha! There’s a video of Adam watching Mariah skate at 2019 Nationals - “Spin Mariah!” “Skate Mariah!” So maybe it CAN help.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww Sasha's little face, pinches his cheeks.

Moris slay count is 5!
