Shame about the flip fall, because this was otherwise a superb skate. Such patience and running edge on the landings - Maybe unpopular opinion, but that 3Lz+2A+2A with the held landings in between is gorgeous. His outside edge on the Lutz is so deep as well, love him.

Misha Ge choreo! Explains why it was epic.

Jaekeun. Good outfit and program. Really good elements.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww, I'm reminded that Shomajesty is no longer competing, this saddens me.

Ooo, nice score! Guaranteed a medal right? Ted says, yes!

My predictions are already in the toilet, so why not flush them completely down and give us a surprise win

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Ooo, nice score! Guaranteed a medal right? Ted says, yes!

Yes, only two more to go

Good morning, guys. I slept in. So happy to see Genrikh had climbed and yeah, I didn't anticipate Vaklavic's success, but who did? Grats to Rozanov!

Huh...anyone's stream just die or was it just me?

Thank you. Thought it was my feeble internet connecction.

He landed a quad lutz! It was awesome

 

[lariko]

Ah, too bad Sheiko couldn't keep it together for 2 programs, but he is a gorgeous skater and I hope to see him more in the future

 

[TallyT]

Oh now that's an interesting costume, even if mostly black.

I gathered, by his position

Similar to Lukas, it seems like the high placement after the Short intimidated him a bit. I think he'll be better next time, he just needs to gain experience now. I like the dramatic music choice and choreo for him, the slide at the end of his choreo sequence was very cool. This will be great when he skates it completely cleanly.

Extra points for the red highlight there.

Ted's a big fan, I've never seen Nikita before, but solid artistry.

 

[Jeanie19]

Nikita.. Great outfit and good program. A few mistakes, but ended strong.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh dear... is this one another example of a SP skater? You know the ones, those who always nail the short only to bomb the free. This was not fun to watch, especially with the dreary music...

and the dreary audio quality

 

[tsuyoboogie]

C'mon bb Sena!
You got this!
Get that 4T!...or maybe just save the attempt for later?

GANBA! GANBAAAAAaaaaaa!!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ooo silver for Jaekeun at least!

But look at this tiny kid! Also excellent last name for skating!

 

[lariko]

Aww, I was so happy to see no monopod in women, but appears we are heading for JK pod in men. Oh, well. Hopefully, non-JK will do better next time.
