2022 Grand Prix de France Men's Short Program

[Ross74]

Wow! A master of the flourishes! Bravo!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Adam SHF is quite the expressive cactus

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Imagine if he'd nailed that combo. The crowd would've blown the roof off!

You know, as overused as Rain In Your Black Eyes has become, I have to admit Adam really made it his own and that is amazing, considering we already have TWO iconic programs to this music in other disciplines.

I feel like that step sequence is what McNamara/Carpenter are trying to do with their RIYBE...

 

[Lynse]

I loved Adam's program. Beautiful, passionate program. Jumps, again! Great skate.

 

[labgoat]

He's gonna give himself whiplash.

see post 271

 

[Warwick360]

French guys bringing it on!

Glad I didn't skip today. Otherwise I'd still think Aymoz was the only hope for France.

Shame we won't have as strong Brit guys for showing next week.

i don't know if you're familiar with the game "card against humanity". well the start of this program is what i picture when i pick the card "mime having an heartattack"

My second cousins brought this to our family Labor Day picnic and I was amused by the card that said "a disappointing salad" because that is exactly what my niece brought to the picnic. Other cards were very vulgar.

Anyway, I hope Adam can perform a cleaner long program because he is thrilling to watch!

 

[peepsquick]

When I think back ... Ada has come a long way!

 

[el henry]

Adam certainly brings the passion and fierce movement.

I guess it was time for a French man to skate to a warhorse. Given Adam's past choices, he has a bye.

 

[Vemvane]

Adam is a great performer, really gets into the story he's telling. Should hope that he gets good presentation PCS. Pity about the pop on the 4T.

Also, the camera operator made me dizzy when they shifted back and forth in his final spin, that was unfortunate.

 

[CellarDweller]

Adam's choreography involves a lot of poking. Is this somehow related to the frequent cactus references I see in these threads?

Perhaps he's a masochist?

Aside from Sui/Han which is the other one? It's 2 am and I can't remember things

 

[Lynse]

I really enjoyed this Men's SP. One of the better ones so far on the GP with all the men having relatively good skates.

[Lamente Ariane]

All right, I've got to go (no live Pairs for me today I think) but this was great fun, free skate tomorrow is gonna be a nailbiter. Let's hope it's the kind where everyone delivers their best, see you all then!

 

[4everchan]

Shame about the jumps. But that was an entertaining skate.

Glad to know Canada has a potential men's skater in place, when Keegan retires and Sodovsky fails to turn up.

how do you know the future of Roman? I find this comment slightly harsh.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Aside from Sui/Han which is the other one? It's 2 am and I can't remember things

Papadakis/Cizeron, combined with To Build A Home. Not my favorite of their programs but definitely a landmark.

 

[Arigato]

Pop or no pop, what a program. Loved it.

 

[yuumagical]

Adam may be a wonderful performer, but I still can't get into a version of Rain In Your Black Eyes when someone is wearing a red costume.

I feel bad saying this about Adam...but that costume really has to go.
