2022 Olympics: Men's Short Program

[CellarDweller]

Finally caught up on this thread, I'm so thrilled for Donovan! I hope he makes the long program!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Oh wow, BESP stopped streaming figure skating, it will come again later... Do we have Chinese stream?

Ivan! So good! Still not sure what's all on his shirt though...

He's already qualified for the FS!

SHMURATKO Ivan (UKR)

Another strong technical skate! Good 3A and 3F. The 3Lz+3T looks fine, but it may get a ! or e on the Lz. Fairly strong spins too! I got some of the power in the footwork sequence. I just think the music called for more of a yearning sort of romance. Should score well regardless.

Wonderful! Thanks for the confirmation!!!

Umm that was Donovan's first 4T attempt in a competition... ever.

No it wasn’t. He has landed it in a comp before. Don’t remember which but I went to his fan thread and posted about it.

 

[Jontor]

Majorov clear for the free! Yeehaa!

 

[HeadBanger]

Nice skate - so glad he could at least skate the individual event since he wasn't able to the team event. I can't recall - he tested positive for COVID, correct? Was it later determined to be a false positive?

If they get a series of negatives after the positive, they are allowed to compete

 

[Weathergal]

Donovan's got the Q!!!!

 

[s_parks]

Ooh, too bad for Shmuratko for the moment but thrilled Majorov qualified!

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh, One of my faves! I think he's so cute!

 

[Hyena]

Nikolaj's in but Ivan might be out by the smallest margin..

 

[Jasira]

Majorov clear for the free! Yeehaa!

So happy for him after the disappointment from the Europeans and almost not making the Olympics.

 

[moonvine]

Uncle By! I love you! Don’t be a cactus and don’t ever leave me!

 

[satine]

Come on, Alexei!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Oy! Nikolaj just strolled into the free skate.

Only Girl in the World again?

...so the rink music is just one mix CD of about eight pop songs?

You think thats bad, I saw an event where it was the same song...

Just one song the whole time...

Go, z Bychenko!
