Reminder there are senior SP videos in the general thread here

I'm headed to bed and will search for juniors tomorrow.
There were none yesterday so I may not find any which would be a real shame.

Well, I like all three of them too.

Right at the minute though, there's no senior men anywhere that I love so I am watching the juniors hopefully.

His birthday is Monday, he will be 16.

He's an infant, and a special one. I hope we can get videos of the top FS skates at least.

I love many..... but Shoma and Conrad gone, I need new ones

Eddy is back in juniors too for Canada...

Edrian tried a triple axel today and he is also skating for Canada now

Well, I like all of the top four, so I can't say I'm upset (except that I would actually like to have, maybe, seen the skates).

I had almost given up on Grayson, he did not do well in the comps I was able to watch. Of course Yanhao (am I crazy for thinking he goes by David?) was impressive on the Junior Circuit last year.

And I love Jacob and Anthony. I think when Jacob concentrates on his jumps, sometimes his showmanship dips, but again, without seeing it...

Anyway congrats to all!

Lucas's SP is here on Youtube (but it's only the last 2 minutes or so), or you can watch the full thing with clip 1 and clip 2 on X/Twitter. The program is absolutely stunning, as is his 4T. I think our new motto should be Live, Laugh, Lucas, because he is so back!

Lucas' full SP is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfyLx6JCaUw Some of the others are there too.

Of course Yanhao (am I crazy for thinking he goes by David?)

His English name is not David, it's Dwayne, but you were close.

On the other hand, Chinese skater Daiwei Dai, who will likely be at CoC again this season, goes by David in English (he was raised trilingually, by a Russian mother and Chinese father).

Camden Pulkinen

Muscled through the opening 4toe and opened up on a 3axel, but everything else good. Performed like there were a thousand people in the audience instead of just over a hundred.

Free Skate 149.14
Total Score 226.97

Jimmy Ma

In the words of my 13 yo, Jimmy ate and left no crumbs. Strong opening with a quad triple, then another quad. Strong 3axel and all other jumps. Really came alive in the step sequence, electric.

Free Skate 158.53
Total Score 236.77

2024 Cranberry Cup International Challenger Series - Men - Short Program

Whoa. Okay. This sp result, I did not see coming. I think this result was unpredictable. If anyone had Lucas Broussard in first and Tomoki Hiwatashi in second, kudos! I did at least have Torgy in second, so that's close to his third place sp result. But he's the only one I got right for top five so far. Unfortunately, I guess Mark G withdrew too late for us to be notified to adjust our predictions. I had Romsky in 5th. Figures he landed in 6th instead in the sp!

Perhaps, there could be movement in the fp, especially among Luc E, H Kim, and Romsky, due to their tight scores. With Jimmy Ma and Camden P at 78+ and 77+, they would have to perform perfectly clean with top-notch tech in the fp and the top guys would have to falter in their fps. This was always a tough prediction because all of the guys ahead of Camden and Jimmy are hugely talented and have the ability to score very high or to falter and have poor results.

Since Lucas B has been injured recently and Tomoki H has been trying to make a comeback with middling success, this sp result was highly unpredictable.

Ah, I see the fp results are coming in, with the top six yet to compete.

Hands down on opening quad. The jumps weren’t all there, but the performance was.

Hyunhyeom Kim

Some good moments but nothing exciting. Think this will drop him below Jimmy.

Good enough start to his season. This total score will keep him in the National Team heading into the Olympic season.

LOL! @figureskatingandrainbows, as we know, the moniker, 'Liv Laugh Luke' already belongs to the winning U.S. junior pairs team, Flores/ Wang (they will skate senior domestically this season).

No co-opting allowed. Let's use 'Lively Lovable Lucas' for Broussard, instead!

Or, 'Luminescent Luc!'
