Clean skate, he seems pleased

Wow, my feed is way behind. He was only three quarters through the program when you posted this.

We will start seeing Qs soon yes?

Jin is already a Q.

 

[Jasira]

Great score for Vladimir PB

 

[moonvine]

Very nice job for Vladimir! Never seen him skate before. I like his shrugging, smiling attitude!

That’s like Uncle B so I have to like it also.

And now we get a zamboni break

We should see them now I think?

6th skater of 29 and 24 go through.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Vladimir here I think is the first to finish smiling. In the first group, then—two crying skaters, and one smiling

 

[Rikku]

How many do qualify? 24?

Yes.

 

[Weathergal]

How many do qualify? 24?

Yes

My boyfriend: "Is he (Litvintsev) a medal favorite?"

No. Tell your boyfriend the medal contenders are Nathan Chen and the three Japanese men

I expect the top 6 at this event to score over 95. With a score of 105+ putting you in a medal position.

LITVINTSEV Vladimir (AZE)

A fine technical performance! Solid spins, nice footwork with complex turns in both directions, and solid jumping passes - 4T, 3A, and 3F+3T. I almost thought he wouldn't land the 3A with that tilt in the air but it worked somehow. I only wish the steps matched The Bells of Moscow a lot more - I'm reminded of Jeffrey Buttle's SP to this same music. I feel like he could have been skating to almost anything.

 

[Jasira]

I really hope that Nikolaj and Vladimir will qualify.

 

[cathlen]

That 4lz from Bojang is a masterpiece! Say what you want but this is still the best 4lz in the world

Definitely. Boyang is 4Lz master.

And now we get a zamboni break

Whats up with that?

It used to be 2 groups then a resurface.

Eeeee! Boyanglero is coming for us!

 

[Sai Bon]

Whaaat, Vincent Zhou has WD?! Just saw on the screen.

 

[lariko]

Oh, pretty high scores starting with the first group… the pressure is on! Also, so happy for Litvintzev

 

[Weathergal]

Nice skate by Litvintsev. Always enjoy that music - and it worked well for him.

I think they want us to have the last two groups without any zamboni interruptions.
