Ivan, what an emotional performance. 66, not a bad score! Especially considering he got called in real last minute.

 

[CellarDweller]

Disco Nikita! He definitely picked up performance once the first jumps were done but this program is so fun! I was really conscious of the ice coverage in the step sequence in particular.

 

[CellarDweller]

Could maybe need a little more energy for this type of music, but overall, a good skate!

 

[lileychristie]

Is it just me or the music is really quiet, especially in comparison with the sound of the claps?
Sounds like the music and the claps are coming in from the same microphone(s) in the area, instead of separate channels....

 

[TT_Fin]

I am confused because of knowing more about the skaters than local commentators...

[CellarDweller]

Well he is walking on water......

JESUS WE ASK YOU PLEASE BLESS THIS EVENT!!!!! I love Liam's landing position, and when he lands the jumps well they're gorgeous. Hopefully he can continue to be more consistent.

Yet another big musical tonal shift . Koshiro, please don't become Shoma 2.0 with your free leg, let's keep it nice and high off the ice. Still a very fun performance, Koshiro is a little boost of serotonin when he skates.
