2022 Olympics: Men's Free Skate

[kayley]

That was highly entertaining. Yes Donovan!!

 

[Jasira]

Aww, another kiss for the ice. This group is so adorable. They are all so happy to be there.

 

[clairexmarie]

History made Donovan - what a joy to watch him

 

[Makkachin]

Aw, Donovan. I'm glad you are smiling. I personally don't care if you land any jumps, just love watching!

 

[momrk]

So happy Donovan got the chance to be here and skate both ends of the competition

 

[Seven Sisters]

Makes you wonder what Donovan could do if his training budget was not the size of a postage stamp

 

[readernick]

Not his best jump day but 10 for performance!

 

[SnowWhite]

Messy skate but he seems happy, so yay Donovan

 

[moonvine]

Donovan can even make an a frame spin look good. Just think there are probably some young Mexican boys watching and thinking "I want to grow up and do THAT!" and a commercial from Peacock. How rude!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Yeah, a ton of messy landings and I don't give a whit. That made me happy.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Ending with the chain on his face this boy is too adorable

 

[Hyena]

Someone give Donovan consistent funding and watch how much he develops!

Donovan.

He had the eyes of Latin America on him and he was nervous. Plus, he usually has trouble with the LPs.

But I don't care about the step outs or hands downs. Those steps, that choreo, that smile.

And Donovan always wears a *costume*

 

[Rikku]

And his shirt was inspired by the Brian Joubert style collection of assorted black see-through fabric.

CARRILLO Donovan (MEX)

Argh, well at least he had fun and he made the free skate. Apart from the 3A, he had a lot of minor errors. 4T hand-down, 3Lo with a turn-out, 3Lz+1Lo+3LS with a hand-down, wobbly 3Lz+3T, step out on the 3F and then a fall on the second 3F. Also couldn't find a center easily on the second spin, I'm surprised he was able to save it actually. Just very cautious throughout the program.

 

[Weathergal]

So glad to see Nikolaj and Donovan here! They both had a tough road to get to Olympics in their own way - such a joy to see them perform here!

 

[skycastles]

I love how much Carrillo smiled throughout his program. His attitude is contagious!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I made it just in time for Donovan!
