2024-25 Senior Grand Prix Final Men's Free Skate

[snowflake]

I'm fine with Daniel's concept and impressed. 254.96 in first.

I actually think his awkward, gawky skating/jumping style perfectly suits the story of a young man just starting the study of ballet.
I acknowledge that I am in the minority on this!

no. @lariko also believes that.

So here's a honest question : should we really forgive him for looking so awkward because it fits the movie ??? or should we value quality of movement ?

The breaking of martini glasses.

 

[lariko]

Niiice!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Sato….you got this! See, the ladies of Team Japan has got your back!

Well, I will have to watch the rest of this on replay I guess. I have completely lost my feed. Stupid Peacock!

I am a writer, so I appreciate the story.

Also, I appreciate Sato going mostly clean.

you'll need to be Canadian and repeat through your VPN that Patrick Chan will 4ever have the best skating skills

 

[museksk8r]

Fingers crossed, feed is back at the midpoint of Sato’s FS.

 

[Ares]

I have answers for you

The music cuts are atrocious

Then par for the course for figure skating. But I believe we used to have such more often seasons ago - as in them being too random or roughly done.

That's nonsense. It's clearly Keegan.

 

[Dawn825]

That was very beautiful. Lovely 4 minutes.

 

[Kris135]

Sato skating is relaxing and beautiful.

 

[GGFan]

That's some of the best skating I've seen Shun do. I really appreciate that he's trying to stretch himself with this program.

 

[Seven Sisters]

What mistake? Shun showing once again why he is my favorite of all the current Japanese men

 

[lariko]

I wish Sato good luck in Japanese Nationals so he could secure the world's spot.

 

[FlossieH]

That was nice, but not Shun's best.

 

[Karoltyna]

Very lovely
