2023-24 Junior Grand Prix Final Men's Short Program

[EdgeCall]

You can see the coaches' hand both in Hyungyeom and Juheon. Same character of music, same approach with esprit, same energy form beginning to the end and same convncing outcome.

I disagree, I think Lim's flow was much better.

Hi flow yes. not his expression.

 

[elektra blue]

I like Hyung better... this should get a deduction for choice of shirt (-1) and music (-3).

No-ulin Rouge gets a -5

I didn't do predictions for the Juniors, so I don't have that problem.

HOWEVER, I decided to go for the nuclear option in Ice Dance at both the Golden Spin and the Senior GP Final. I went with my heart, with only minimal input from my brain. Hence why I have an all-Canadian Senior Ice Dance podium here.

Watch my predictions go up in flames!

I hope your predictions are correct. Some say that Canada will be shut down from the dance podium...

Rio NAKATA
God Particle, 160 Bpm

3A (fall)
3F+3T (long wait on the flip, but gets the triple toe on)
FSSp4
3Lz (holds on)
CCoSp4
StSq3
CCSp2

SP: 67.71 (4th)

Rio had a disaster SP (for him) at Junior Nationals just a few weeks ago, and had to climb up in the FS, and it looks like a trace of that is repeating itself again. He did well to recover after the axel fall. I'm pretty sure this is a Japanese men's curse, they never do well at the Final (except for Shun that one time but that was a free skate only).

 

[elektra blue]

ah...les cactus...

 

[icewhite]

I really liked the step sequence.

 

[4everchan]

Wow.. these boys are going to YOG.... Our Canadian boy is in trouble

I wonder if it's the need to prioritize nationals that makes it so hard for them to do well at the Final.

But then again, the Korean men did well today, and they also had to do well last week.

I really liked the step sequence.

me too... he had a bit of a balance check near the end but it was so good other than that.

I'm more worried that Yura Matsuda has been plucked...

...or Mao Asada...
