2023 Skate Canada Men's Free Skate

[Ares]

The dads side of my family is Polish. Did not know.

Konrad is quite a popular first name in Poland too.

Thank you Sota, you helped me calm down after Jun's skate with that solid posture and mostly smooth skating...

i still couldn't watch... so drab music did that for me

 

[Ichatdelune]

Sota is still cursed by Axel Paulsen, I see. I am going to go ingest some alcohol, see you folks next week

 

[Ares]

Yamamoto barely defends his gold here after the FS, wow. That strong SP helped a lot to stop Miura from winning.

 

[4everchan]

I am happy for Sota... and Mark did well. but that event... ugh

 

[anonymoose_au]

Haha I love how Sota has a towel with his own name on it

Matteo jumped from 8 to bronze, congratulations him!

Wow Sota is 3rd in the FS but still managed to win by less than a point
Kao must be regretting that popped quad in the SP so much now..

 

[el henry]

Yes, Sota!

Sorry, greatly preferred Sota to Kao. Sota showed emotion and tried to work with the warhorse, rather than Kao's "git 'er done" attitude.

I admire Kao's gifts, but he needs to learn at least some expression skills.

My favorite is still the guy from israel.

Me too

Kao regrets nothing. He is too fierce for that

Wesley… just made a case to be chosen for Senior Worlds for Canada. 220+ and 7th is not bad.

Conrad… sadly…. I have in 3rd behind Stephen. This was a missed opportunity. He has quads. But, loses so many points in other elements.

Sadly Wesley and Stephen are still eligible for Junior Worlds.
That is why I need Conrad and Roman to do better.

Aleksa… down to 6th behind Roman and Matthew Neuman. That was a bad free skate

The drab music, though I normally don't appreciate it, also helped a lot!

That was a chaotic event and not in a good way. Last weekend's event was so much better.

I hope Jun is okay after those falls. I wonder what the highest score will be in predictions? I think I got 30 pts.

 

[TallyT]

Well done, Kao and Matteo!

So sorry for Jun...

 

[Skater Boy]

Reporting for cacti. BTW today is my one year anniversary of being engaged to Jimmy Ma.

I hope this is a joke because publicly he has been seen with someone else. Of course it could be just a friend and in our modern world I guess people can have multiple relationships.

Sota needs to revisit his 3A technique. Otherwise, solid.El

ISU needs to ban certain pieces of music for 5 years, and Exogenesis should be first on the list.

Please ban El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge film soundtrack next.

If anyone predicted Sota for gold, I would like them to buy lottery tickets for me.

i think someone got 60... i just looked... i got 40. which is not that bad LOL

 

[cheerknithanson]

oh well... @cheerknithanson is not here and kevin reynolds is doing the commentary.... she will regret this.

I was at a Halloween party lol. Wouldn't have been appropriate to put it on full volume. Also, I think that's only for the CBC feed. I would have needed a VPN for that.

I've heard him do commentary on Skate Canada Autumn Classic a few times in the past few years. And also during 2023 Nationals when Daily Motion streamed Canadian Nationals.

Glad Sota won that. He was easily the most impressive in the SP and kept it mostly together in the FS. He skated like a reigning GPF silver medalist.

I wonder if Cha is injured or something. I know he doesn't usually start the season the strongest, but these skates have been unusually poor.
