i could do with some Winter. here summer is still raging

Ouch, pop

Rather cautious, detached from the music and still not error-free.

9 Vadym NOVIKOV UKR. I always misread his last name as novocaine (the dental anesthetic - sorry Vadym). Love me some Seasons though. Lovely posture and style, needs more energy for this music. Ouch pop! Ends with two nice spins to make up with the one he misses.

Too bad about the pop, but well done on landing that 3F+3T

Ever since that storm last week when I had to abandon watching the Men's SP, it has been quite pleasant here.

But, I'll never complain about hearing "Winter". I love it!

You should be proud of Vivaldi.

I see the Březinas are part of his coaching team. Will he learn how to be a real from Michal?

Can't think of anybody better to teach him the way of the cactus.

This song is such a banger, I love it, even if it doesn't make sense.

And hey! The actual Beatles!

you got to be on what they were when they wrote the song to understand it

 

[EdgeCall]

Didn't know MJ covered that song but it's a good fit.

This boy is such a performer!

His jump technique is weird, not very pleasing to look at.

10 Brandon James BALDOZ PHI skates to the Beatles & Michael Jackson medley. Reminds me of an Urmanov mix. Loong, largely unsuccessful lutz entry. Nice musicality once past the hard stuff. Very nice spins. Below Paradis overall is my guess. A lot of red on the board though.

Brandon James, questionable jump technique and I don't know how he landed them, but boy got some moves!

Love his upper body movements, so fluid and the choreo works well for him.

For a while. Then Michael Jackson took over. And the song took on a very different feel.

Preferred the Beatles section.

Good to see another Filipino coming through.

If he had darker hair, he would look very like another skater. But, I can't think who! And it's really annoying me!

Ilia - give this boy (Brandon) some pointers on that lutz cause he has some star power.

 

[lileychristie]

Zamboni time! Too bad they're not having the mini zambonis this time around, I think they're kinda cute

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the K&C though. Japan usually put a lot of thought in the aesthetics of everything, yet this K&C just uses basic chairs with no aesthetic

Need to get ready for work now~

Best of Luck to Prince Seigo and ShunShun

Seigo-kun, my precious, lovely child...
Please save the 3A attempt for the FS
Just relax and jump with confidence!
Let’s aim for TWO clean(ish) performances

ShunShun...No silly mistakes!
Keep it together boys!
GANBA!!!

Well it's pretty obvious that he is Russian-trained like Martinez but he'll improve as time goes by.

So close between Pitot and Li in the SP.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I have arrived from work! Who should I watch during the zamboni?

 

[Marirue]

Ilia - give this boy (Brandon) some pointers on that lutz cause he has some star power.

That will be his coaching assignment.

Am munching on some Nilla wafers that are coin sized. They used to be bottle cap sized.
