2024 JGP Riga Cup Men's Short Program

[jgg220]

All is right with the world when there's a Siudek on the ice--Polish yet unpolished--but still spectacular to watch.

considering this music... and your spelling... i don't know who is doing drugs anymore

do you have a prickly cactus in yout pockets or you're just happy to see me?

i remember his father... i think he won bronze in pairs at WC one year.

Yep, they had awesome lifts.

Feeling Good and Bolero back to back... waiters, can you bring me your strongest drink please?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Now just dress them in black and then it´s perfect

For some reason the AI refused to make the cacti wear black suits and this is the best I got

 

[ramurphy2005]

Not quite sure what the vivid outfit has to do with music that I associate with commercials for diamonds...for some reason I think a black shirt and pants would have been better.

Me, too.

In high school, we played that piece in orchestra, and there were definitely diamond commercial jokes made.

He could have taken some outfit inspiration from Aymoz...

I wanted the cute cacti in black suits, but no matter how many times I changed my prompt the dang AI refused to make that image happen This is why AI is not going to take over the world

this music is kind of cursed isn't it?

 

[4everchan]

that's how we see how hard it is to change edge on a spin

nice skater

 

[Arigato]

Black is in. Woohoo.

 

[ramurphy2005]

Ugh....that last spin.

Bolero by Maurice Ravel (we all boo)

CSSp?
StSq?
CSp1* (falls out on his camel, may not get any credit depending on how many revs he got in the basic position, broke connection with change of foot and gets no credit because he needed a combo spin)

SP: 61.51 (2nd)

The warhorses and the all-black outfits are sending me into a depressive spiral. I may have to break out my emergency chocolate earlier than planned. Alexsandr is a very good skater, but I don't know if this is the best program choice to show off his qualities. Nevertheless, this was a fantastic skate from him.

Loving the joy this guy brought to Bolero, despite the bad spin (and I say this as someone who genuinely enjoys Bolero)!
