I think the answer to that has to be yes, because Nathan never did a 4A.

But, I do think Nathan went for 4T eu 3F. Ilia is doing 4T eu 3S. I’m just curious in case any of the FS geeks happens to know

Dinh looks a lot like Patrick, but unfortunately doesn't skate like him.

That is sadly true. Good effort.

[Kris135]

Now another newbie at this level

 

[labgoat]

I am already loving Daniel’s music.

Bach doesn't need lyrics

 

[labgoat]

where did these vocal come from? No no no

 

[jgg220]

If J.S. Bach were alive and heard this vocal desecration of his sublime Air on the G String, he would immediately drop dead out of shock and horror.

Yuzu is at home saying but I have had one for years

I have a feeling 4T 4T will be the next jump skaters will attempt to go for, if the points are changed to allow for this. Also, I think 4A should be allowed in the SP over the 3A.

Oh man the beginning made me happy just because I was imagining shoma doing it

 

[msteach3]

Daniel has some nice jumps. Good for him, but I find his hair really distracting.

This guy is Junior age eligible for Junior Worlds I believe. Threat to Jacob’s spot….
He is good.

I keep expecting this to turn into a techno remix halfway through. This is how you know you watch too much skating.

And as I am typing this, voila! Tempo change! Can I pick them, or what?

 

[msteach3]

Great effort from Daniel!!!

 

[elektra blue]

well done!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Martynov gives us our first clean skate. Depending on where he ends up, this may be a solid argument for the third Junior Worlds spot.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Hello all! I came in just in time for … rock Four Seasons?

 

[Jeanie19]

Daniel. Good costume and good skate.

You really can pick them.
