2023 Skate Canada Men's Short Program

[withwings]

I don’t like this program for Cha or it’s composition. Particular the slow 3A entry followed by two spins that don’t match the music. He’s done better.

unfortunately I agree about the program
imo also costume is not complimenting him
hope and wish he will get the medal! ihe is wonderful skater

I can't stop my darling but I die every time he falls on that quad toe...

I die a little bit every time one of my students forgets the key signature and plays an F natural instead of an F sharp.

 

[4everchan]

okay... i need to catch up on women and dance.... time for the sober beer and the archives.

19 degrees here tomorrow.. but sunday... 5... winter is coming... just in time for trick or treating...

31 October here is predicted to be 25-29C, and it'll still be daylight till quite late... sort of spoils the eldritch atmosphere, for all the stores push it

Man, I honestly wish I could have been there in Vancouver and braved that frigid rink to support these guys...maybe more of them would have done better in their short programs...

But I have to save up money for Worlds...*sigh*

i cannot imagine halloween and xmas in the southern hemisphere.
one year, i went to the carribeans for xmas... and though I truly enjoyed the beach and everything there... when i landed back to canada, i was like WOW... this is so beautiful... the river was frozen, there was snow.... dreamy

shoma will be at worlds... priorities

 

[4everchan]

now... i will say this.. of course, it's not over... but the Canadian men outdid the Canadian women... not something I would have predicted... nopers....

 

[lileychristie]

But I have been waiting patiently for a real program to match those skills. And sadboi music is not a good fit for you at all. Try some jazz

I think his FS suits him very well. You can see he really likes the anime Attack on Titan

You know my priorities all too well.

At least I'm beginning the trip planning process, I bought a flight to Montreal last night!

Ouch, Jun. Perhaps returning to training in Canada, if possible, might help? Well 2nd place at least for now. I also preferred his SP from last season.

I saw the photo on the GS tweets of the top three, and that is three very good skaters with very unfortunate haircuts... oh Jun, what have you above all done?

 

[chz]

So my prediction was correct... 3 cacti so far?

What's cacti, cactusing etc. Pls enlighten me

 

[4everchan]

What's cacti, cactusing etc. Pls enlighten me

it was started a few seasons ago by some GS posters... it is when a skater you like underperforms.... so it hurts just like prickly cacti.

This program doesn't do Jun justice. Utterly boring music and the choreo isn't that exciting either. When you have performance qualities like him, give the guy something to work with!

Yamamoto has lovely skating skills, but I feel there is a wall between him and the audience. His music also was just background noise. I wonder what he could achieve with a different coach.

Arigato.

I love that piece of music, and a big fan of Cha, but he could have been skating to anything. Dimitri Aliev cracked it when he had Masquerade as his short programme.

I liked it too.. and he is wonderfully musical with complex tech..

Glad to see our guys to do well enough. Would have had Shaidorov higher, given how the rest of the field skated, but looks like the free is going to be a big thing.
