2024 JGP Solidarity Cup Men's SP

[4everchan]

1A, +COMBO, 99% no JGPF. I am not okay.

Minkyu went third, your son went sixth. Anthony Paradis went in fifth btw

considering the lack of firepower of most men in the LP for this event, don't lose all hope yet.

well... just in case you didn't understand : i didn't drown in the pool... i finished the work out 3 minutes ahead of the next ... so i guess i still have it the coach liked my technique but really, this is going to be a struggle to get back home, shower, eat, get ready and go to work... while catching up on skating results.... leaving the house in 2 minutes

praying circle for the LP started for Minkyu and Eddy

 

[EdgeCall]

I have to say, I'm really vibing the Gdansk music between skates. It's the right balance of getting skaters hyped. Some competitions tend to overdo the sad boy ballads

Second that.

My memory is merde right now so I may be wrong, but Takahashi Sena is the judges' darling even without a quad, Tamir Kuperman has a quad I think, Luka Vaclavik can play black horse, and even your Canadian boys might play spoiler. Like... if Takahashi Sena goes clean and gets something similar to what he got before, i.e. 80+, Minkyu will be 23 points behind. 23 points when he doesn't have a quad yet. I am not a gambler and my mental space is a precious asset

Edit: cannot math, 80 - 57 is 23 not 27

 

[elektra blue]

only 15 minutes? When did you turn to a Finn? I thought south Europeans need at least 1,5 hours.

i don't eat much at night, also i wash dishes the next day

Minkyu won his first JGP this season. Top 5 may be enough for GP final depending on results in the final two events. There will be skaters ahead of him today who then bomb in the free skate.

Another issue is that I also need Jaekeun to go to JGPF as well, if he and Minkyu have to battle for the last spot I will jump off a bridge

Viveca is there with Matias. So far there has been only one couch taking care of all skaters from Finland and I suppose it is because of saving money.

Viveca was such an interesting skater and retired far too early.

Tamir's best is 137 in free skate. A clean Minkyu scores 147. That halves the gap if both skate perfect and Tamir goes clean in the SP.

That Euros bronze was epic.

I'm confident in a redemption skate for Minkyu. It'll be tight, but he will get top 3. I'm basing this off of how all these skaters have been skating this season, using the data from skatingscores.com. I've made private predictions and projections, but never publicly cause I feel like that would jinx the skaters. Mostly writing this for those of you trying to manifest Minkyu onto the podium, take a deep breath, I believe in his stats, he's got this.

 

[FlossieH]

Lindfors may have very good performance skills, but he cannot be a top competitive skater with so many technical probles.

 

[EdgeCall]

Yay. Mostly clean, not a bad performance. Except maybe that the shirt reminds me a little bit of a straitjacket ...

 

[Ichatdelune]

M. Lindfors is lovely as usual, but the jumps are not his friends as usual...

 

[lariko]

I mean, it's men's program, everything can happen. Sorry, I got detained by family matters, but I am happy to see Lucas in the lead. I almost saw his entire program, it was so very clean and beautiful.

 

[TT_Fin]

I wonder if the other sister Monica's choreos will be much asked in the future after the hype Matias' ones has got.

i'm trying hard to understand what this costume is supposed to be but i'm failing
