Too many pops, but good basics. Better luck next time

Jean is really talented and nice to watch and he's growing needles

 

[elektra blue]

lunch break, i'll try to make it on time for the last group

 

[anonymoose_au]

Awww, I feel bad for Jean, he looks so bummed. It's OK, being French is cool!

Good luck Yehor!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Rough start, but strong ending! He looks rather puffed, but it's good to see Ukrainian skaters here!

Shame about the start, but he recovered very well from that. The last 3Lz was great, and he has quite decent spins for a Junior Man.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Good fight, a lot of good quality here. Can´t wait to watch him further, he is still so young

 

[Jeanie19]

Yehor. Love his shirt and the program. Good skate.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ooo Alexandr has presence already! The shirt is definitely eye-catching.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Brilliant

The choreo sequence And a super solid skate outside of the little step-out. Great spins and choreographic awareness and ability. He's just 14, so the difficult jumps have time to develop, but this is a very special skater.

 

[Jeanie19]

Aleksandr. Great costume and skate.

 

[anonymoose_au]

That was top quality artistry right there, loved the choreo! Congrats Alexandr!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hey I just realised they've changed things when there's an uneven number of groups, they used to do a zamboni-ing after one group, but now it's after two groups. Interesting!

 

[TallyT]

That was really special, he combines the technical (okay, not as high as the leader but he's 14!_ and the artistic better than so many seniors.

 

[auser]

So much to like about Aleksandr's skating. Looking forward to watching him progress.

 

[TallyT]

Anthony!

Go Anthony!!!
