2022 Four Continents: Men's Free Skate

[LadyB]

Tuning in, great skates to all! Go, Jimmy, Kazuki, Dias, Jo and Jun!

 

[Totentanz]

How is that possible?!
I thought that at least the popular Keiji was already in your collection

Yeah how?! Maybe minimum height criteria (that is apparently 176 cm) was not met before I notice Sena.

Btw, Sena is just 18 years old which means he can grow more. Go Sena

 

[yume]

So apparently all the men are either short, 172 cm, or Sena

(Sota's 173 but that counts)

No wonder why there aren't many men in pairs. Though there are many 150-155cm ladies. It should compensate.

Aww he drew a big love heart in the air.

Score pops up: Well better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick, I say.

Go James!

guys, there're other artistic ballads out there

James is dressed far too nicely to be building a home

Internet's back just in time for James, thank goodness.

Still cheesed I missed Jordan.

 

[Totentanz]

I know I am a little behind, but is there anyone else thinking Jordan is Rippon 2.0 in terms of look and style.

we had plumbers on ice i don't see why we can't have a construction worker too. Working class on ice!

Yeah shouldn't he be all in white?

Aww no his jumps are off!

Actually, I saw an interview with Meagan Duhamel that said that the lack of pairs is due to rink time. Apparently most Japanese skaters train on public practice sessions, which you can't do as a pair team. She said that her husband Bruno hosts a pairs camp every year in Japan that is very popular, but none of the skaters can get private ice time and would rather try singles.

[karne]

you didn't miss much

I love all of my skaters so to miss what could be Jordan's final competitive skate is to miss a lot, thankyou.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww I hate it when they fake me out on the Beillmans

In other news I'd be a dreadful commentator, I literally shouted "Oh sh**" when James fell.

 

[readernick]

James looks gassed, too! It must have taken a lot of strength physical and mental to keep going. Good for him!

He also had quite adorable facial expressions.

I know I am a little behind, but is there anyone else thinking Jordan is Rippon 2.0 in terms of look and style.

Some have made similar comments about his older brother Andrew. But the Dodds brothers have been stylistically themselves since they were Juniors.

Yeah how?! Maybe minimum height criteria (that is apparently 176 cm) was not met before I notice Sena.

Btw, Sena is just 18 years old which means he can grow more. Go Sena

I fear you will never have a Japanese boyfriend then. Even Kihara who is in pairs is 174cm.

Camden, i'm not going to say anything...

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Oh god, Camden is up. Go Camden!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Well good for James trying the quad, there was a video on Instagram where he landed it at the Cricket Club in Toronto.

Although, I do wonder what happened go our Aussie skater Darian Kapitch, he was awesome.

Goooo Camden!
