2023 Four Continents Men's Free Skate

[Jontor]

I just remember him in Juniors such a wee lad! At 17 he suddenly shot up!

Also I'm 158cm tall, so now I'm wondering how talk you are!

Wow, look at KAZ man go!

I'm 196 but I suspect I might have shrunk a cm as years have gone by...

Urmi!

(Haha I wonder what he'd say if someone called him that).

I wonder why Mikhail had such trouble getting here?

He's my Urmel from the Ice Age

 

[rain]

Gogolev looking tentative here.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I cursed him by bringing up popcorn didn’t I

Gogo's shirt looks like something the archer in a medieval castle who can't afford armour would wear

spin V

Not a good day for Gogolev's quads... and he also looked really tired, to me.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ulrich Salchow crying, and I don't think he's going to Worlds...

 

[AlexBreeze]

Katarina Mueller in KnC again - this time with Alexei Urmanov and Shaidorov. I'm wondering if perhaps she's working with Kazakhstan fed?

She was also with the Kazakhstan team during the Universiade and afterwards.

I was hoping that Stephen could repeat his performance from Nationals but that was probably asking for too much. At least he didn't give up on the program. Hopefully he puts it together next season.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Poor guy, he really has made big improvements on the artistic expression side and it took a lot to learn those jumps again with his multiple growth spurts. But as long as Conrad doesn’t totally implode I think the Worlds spot is his now, and Stephen knows it.

I wonder why Mikhail had such trouble getting here?

Trains in Russia, maybe?

Urmanov was in KnC, and I think he's based in Sochi so guessing Shaidorov trains there. So I'm guessing that might be why had trouble getting to US but don't know that for sure.

Trains in Russia, maybe?

Maybe but then Urmanov and his other student got here OK as did Rakhat B. At least Chris didn't mention them having trouble.

D10 used to have trouble too I think.

Anyway, good to see Gogo working his way back to the jumps!

 

[auser]

Me eating cookies will not make Jimmy skate better will it?

Won't hurt either

 

[sworddance21]

I haven't seen Gogolev skate in a while. That was really rough.

 

[4everchan]

gosh... no it wasn't brilliant chris... the axels yes... the spins and steps.. nooo.... the pops... no... even the quad toe had a touch down...

this Canadian is not too happy about Stephen's skate.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Go GoGo!

His shirt game is still kinda sad, but I'll allow it.

He’s a slave, he has to make do with the only shirt he could find probably

 

[YuBluByMe]

Well, that wasn’t the skate Gogolev needed.

 

[anonymoose_au]

This outfit is adorable and I shan't hear a word against it!
