2023-24 Grand Prix Final Senior Men Short Program

Gary Moore!!!!!!

I would recognise the handiwork of my fellow Ulsterman anywhere.

And although I don't have anything against "Parisienne Walkways", it makes a change for another of his songs to be skated to.

Absolutely loved that programme. Such a pity it wasn't clean.

Ouch. Into last position.

...Ilia was amazing technically but please stop rewarding skaters who are weaker in PCS with high scores for no reason. He is working on his PCS scores and improving, but he is not a 44.37 PCS skater, and it is unfair to both the other skaters and him, because he will start to receive hate online (which is absolutely unacceptable) for those scores, which he has little control over, and it disincentivizes improvement. I guess I don't agree with the point differential between Ilia and Yuma/Kevin, there is just over a point of PCS difference which is... not correct lol

Must be so disappointing for Adam.

Shoma was the shining star but Ilia's history making program and Yuma's comeback is going to make a great final. Kevin was stunning and Kao underwhelmed but I enjoyed it all. On to the final!

Okay, popped Lutz, but otherwise this event did not disappoint.
Can't wait for the frees.

Good morning/good night/whatever time of day it is where you are, all

 

[elektra blue]

Think of me instead. And that'll make you feel sadder!

(Not sure I would class myself as "leggy", though. But, given that I'm taller than you, you might. )

CaroLiza_fan

that's too easy i'm 160 cm, you like easy wins

I told you pineapple on pizza is boss.

It gives Ilia his powers

oh you my dearest barbarian, i love you as you are...

Poor Adam

 

[icewhite]

wait what?

 

[auser]

Exhilarating stsq from Adam despite other elements not what he might have wished.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Ilia should've been happier...he was awarded higher PCS than my child

...waiting for y'all to come at me~

 

[icewhite]

Oof the scores. Do not agree with them at all.
But I need to go, will complain later.

The guys are all great.

 

[elektra blue]

lunch break, i don't know if i can make it on time for the last junior pairs. love you all

 

[lileychristie]

Wait so the 4A does count then....? I thought it has to be in combination for the SP!?

No, it doesn’t. It could be the solo quad, as well.

Ah yes, I just checked the rules and it does count. I was confusing it with the junior women's SP rules where if they do a 3A then it has to be in combination, but that's because they have a mandated type of solo jump. Good on Ilia for making history then!

This was a great event with three men scoring over 100. Adam being a favorite, skating last and popping his opening jump hurts. With his deficit, he won’t make the podium unless the top three mess up and mess up badly. He could still bring it in the free.

I agree with the podium, but I think Miura should be behind Aymoz. He had the weakest performance out of all the men and the jumps - which are his bread and butter - weren’t great, either.

This field is truly insane in a great way, I'm honestly just thankful Shoma can still keep up with everyone. And sad for Adam for the pop but no falls!!! In the men's short program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm happy that I woke up to see that the 4A paid off for Ilia today!

I find them to be equal in PCS if you are speaking about Kao and Malinin. The rest of the four are a step above. (and I'm biased so in my humble opinion Shoma is at the top of the ladder). But, the judges always reward the favorites with higher PCS. Ilya ensured that PCS with his incredible 4A. Fair judging would have them tied at around 41 PCS imho. If anyone was hosed in PCS, it was Adam. He should not be only a half point above Ilya. I think there should be more PCS separation in general.

Great event though. There were things to admire about all the performances. Shoma was the highlight!
