2021 Skate Canada: Men's Free Skate

[msteach3]

Sota is handsome, but this program does nothing for me.

 

[4everchan]

Blimey, never thought Moris'd be still in the lead - but I take it. It was his redemption skate.

i will take it too as far as he can get... stupid prediction game

 

[lariko]

Oh, gosh, I will go pray some more.

 

[LiamV426]

That spin at the end was everything!

Costly mistakes on his two 4T attempts. The rest was solid, though

FS: 72.26+75.70-1.00 = 146.96, 225.74, 2/6

Well the spread eagle and Ina Bauer are worth the price of admission...

 

[SnowWhite]

Indeed, gorgeous piece of music I'm surprised more skaters don't use it tbh. Ugh that 3axel in second half was right on the music too....

I loved Lajoie/Lagha's FD to it that they won Junior Worlds with.

Honestly, even if Roman had a knock-out skate at nats, I wouldn't trust him at the olympics if I were skate canada.

Well, there are no spots on the line at the Olympics, and they'll use Keegan for the Team Event. So I think it depends on if anyone else looks significantly stronger over the fall season. Since SC does prefer to go by Nationals results.

 

[Jontor]

Good comeback Sota-san! But no quads today means that won't be enough either...

 

[karne]

Sota YAMAMOTO (JPN)

Nice recovery!

 

[labgoat]

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.

I need to see this stuffie...

 

[readernick]

Rather boring but unlike some of the other men Sota can spin! It helped his TES.

 

[Makkachin]

Ignoring the mistakes, Sota's upper body movement is gorgeous

 

[s_parks]

Excuse me, Vincent just won Skate America, I would hardly call that a jinx

Exactly; they're both doing well and will probably stay that way if I don't call myself a fan of theirs

 

[yuumagical]

Ugh, I wish this guy would stop yapping about Kvetilashvili.

 

[ancientpeas]

I hope Roman didn't use up all his good juju getting that second spot.

 

[moonvine]

I see this come up a few times... who is BTK?

BTK is Be The Keegan. He is a marvelous stuffie who travelled to Korea to be thrown to Keegan at 4CCs but arrived too late. He reminds ourselves to always find our inner Keegan. Maybe iChat has a picture. He is a most marvelous stuffie.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Sota put up a serious fight in the second half... and his spread eagle was lovely as always.
ALSO SIMON SHUT UP ABOUT PLANNED PROGRAM CONTENT SKATERS CHANGE IT ALL THE TIME AND ALSO SHUT UP ABOUT MORISI ADMIRE SOTA'S LOVELY LINES AND SKATING SKILLS WHO CARES IF HE SLOTS INTO SECOND PLACE

 

[ancientpeas]

Ugh, I wish this guy would stop yapping about Kvetilashvili.

to be fair he has been the best so far by far.

 

[YuBluByMe]

This first group was terrible. Hopefully the second group will pick things up.

 

[Ruthypegs]

Then I’m at a loss as to the nosebleed issue as well.

He seemed to be distracted by it towards the end of the programme, too.
