2024 Four Continents Men's Free Skate

[peese]

You missed a fabulous pair event.

Did we watch the same event??

 

[4everchan]

What about Wesley?

I don't want to sound disgraceful but I haven't acquired a liking for him yet...

All my faves since Patrick have let me down.
Nicolas
Joseph (especially Jo)
Conrad
Edward (but he is still a junior... so who knows how he recovers from injury and comes back)

FS: 142.35 (2nd)
TOT: 217.74 (1st)

I love Tomoki, and I love Finlandia, but the two together when Tomoki is a little tired and jump-focused doesn't work quite as well as I'd hoped. Hopefully Tomoki can work with his new training base to put together both the choreography and the jumps.

I know Kam/O'Shea won a medal but according to protocols that was not a 'fabulous' event

It was so fabulous I was blowing kisses at Danny through the TV screen and Sofia's mother cried.

 

[readernick]

Not bad from Tomoki. He's got such a wild style.

 

[moonvine]

Yes, I blew kisses at Danny through the TV and Sofia's mother cried. I can't think of any other event where both things have occurred.

Well if you found it fabulous...

lol.. you are still not over your beef

 

[peese]

This will be a watered down program

 

[elektra blue]

For Roman's first international competition, not bad, but I fear we will never experience the magic of two clean Romsky programs in competition. The maple cactus energy is strong.

 

[4everchan]

Roman did what I expected. Still much better than Conrad for sure.
I think they just nixed his choreo seq....

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Considering the way that his season has gone, that was a pretty solid skate by Roman - Well done! He moves and interprets music beautifully. I can't wait for the day when he finally, finally puts it all together with two amazing skates!

 

[4everchan]

Romsky????? Second half quad sal???? When you don't have your 3A back??? What the-

his 4s has always been much more stable.... of course, he could do them back to back but whatever I don't expect he will put a 3axel anytime this year.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Lots of rough and questionable landings from Roman but other than the 2nd 4S he did well to stay on his feet. What happened to his choreo sequence?

 

[elektra blue]

Roman should do a Paganini program, he has the romantic poet on the verge of death by consumption vibe
