2024 Finlandia Trophy Men's Short Program

[Vemvane]

Sota must have legs of steel, given how he maintained the depth of his knee bend throughout the skate. His 4T-3T was good, oh my goodness, though, the timing of the music on the slow-mo replay of the 4S. He really has lovely glide, he just seems to flow across the ice.

Kiss and Cry area is ok here. Flowers, comfy sofa, no giant lotion bottles or precipitous drops.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

The ice is cursed for everyone except Kazuki today...

 

[elbkup]

Nevermind the 4S fall, nice job Junhwan!

 

[readernick]

Jun has really reduced the 3A stalking. Good program. Shame about the 4S.

is today the international cactus day?

I really like this program for Jun, it's a different look for him but he does a great job with the sharp movements and precise musical timing. I love that 3A on the music, even though he should be charged and arrested for stalking it (also for the weird flesh-colored gloves). That step sequence is really fantastic. But I do wish he got back into the program faster after the fall - he always has struggled with Dramatic Falls™ but it takes away from this excellent program. Maybe they could move the placement of his quads so he doesn't slide into the boards every time?

 

[Idiote]

Great program ! Sad about the fall on the quad, but he rebounded so well with the combo and the axel. Well done !!

 

[Ares]

Not the skate he wanted as he fell and possibly URd a 4S, there was an awkward pause after the fall too but generally the choreo and everything else was fire. Junhwan is my favourite male skater at this GP (I love Yuma though too)

 

[Ichatdelune]

I don't know dead people can't think why did he get a level 3 on the steps

 

[Jeanie19]

Junhwan. Nice outfit and program. Shame about the 4S. A really good skate.

 

[Vemvane]

Junhwan has such good musical timing - the landing of his 3A was spectacular - and he skates as big as the music needs. Neat heel spin in his Fly Ch Combo spin (I think). Love the 3Lz-3Lo as well.

Maybe that's why cactus emperor Kazuki is the only one clean so far !

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Btw, gotta mention that I'm so envious that this GP gets Hanretty commentary

 

[Seven Sisters]

Junhwan is always the actor, isn’t he? It’s fascinating to watch his face, switching on and off, as he moves in and out of performance mode

 

[4everchan]

they need to put cacti instead of these plants in the KnC

 

[Arriba627]

Oh Jun Bug. Are you still injured? Such a beautiful skater.

 

[Ares]

nah, still not the emperor level...

Who's the Emperor Cactus on goldenskate?

 

[4everchan]

OMG... who is ruining Brahms hungarian dance number 5 ... music in the rink... ugh
