2024 NHK Trophy Men's Short Program

[YuBluByMe]

That was a great SP. Three falls overall and only one of them on a quad. The Japanese swept the SP and Andrew held his own in fourth!

Do you guys remember when Adam Rippon got two Bronzes and made it to the GPF, the next year he got two Silvers and made it to the GPF again the year of the Olympics?

Well... Good luck to Torgashev!

Ok, I shed a tear for my kaotic son Kao. That was amazing!! Even watching with no sound on the phone in the car.

 

[4everchan]

good night all... 344am here... thankfully i only work in 11 hours so i should have enough time to sleep

 

[Magill]

I'm, oh, so happy for Kao! 100 broken and his response in the KnC was just so endearing!. Oh, congratulations, boy! Honestly, I liked him and his programme way batter than Yuma today.

just rewinded to watch my baby boy. see? my baby developed a second mark and he tried to mess up but couldn't.

 

[Karoltyna]

howw cuuuuute! my older nephew started swimming, sadly i have still hopes for the younger one

My boy already has orange belt in judo but he saw Adam backfliping at Euros and forced me to go to the icerink. He is 9 so no career for him, fortunately, just it's quality time with me.

 

[VickB]

Japan's men may have 50% of all world top-tier talent and Kao is so terrific

Happy birthday to another 100-points SP skater!

he got himself a nice birthday present

The days where you can qualify with two bronzes are gone. Last season Shun Sato did not qualify with a bronze and silver, losing a tie breaker to Kevin Aymoz. But if Andrew actually makes the podium I’m going to be extra salty about that 0.20 points that kept him from silver last week.

 

[TallyT]

That's the only men's SP this season to have two 100+, and there have now only been three 100+ this GP....

 

[labgoat]

An hour and a half until ladies - I am going to bed. I will be missing all the free skates due to work. So good luck to ALL the women and to my fully grown up dance kids tomorrow.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I need to gather strength within 80 minutes in order to get through the women, I have a lot of thoughts on my mind and none are positive... not just regarding my girls, AWG looms large and I can't breathe every time I think about it

 

[labgoat]

Too tired to finish the rewatch even

 

[elektra blue]

I had such a fantastic swim today... Nailed my workout... but i am completely wiped out... i slept through pairs... and there is no way i am staying for women.

good night then, don't dream about Frangi too much if you want to get any rest

Hey, it's water. It's a start. Now all you have to do is to freeze his pool, and convince him that it is better to walk on it, rather than get wet in it.

you are a genius! but he might melt it with his demonic powers

i put him in front of FS once but he was too young...i must force him to watch skating when he comes for Christmas. the other one does headbanging if i play rock or metal (he likes Ozzy ) so i might get better results from him

 

[rabidline]

This was really nice on all levels. Hoping the men all survive tomorrow (some of them need it).

 

[TallyT]

I admit, I am finding competition a lot more peaceful (and less hard on the nerves) when I like quite a few of them but love none... Kao is definitely one of the strong likes, and his skate was my favourite tonight.

First time we went to the icerink it was like 2 months before pandemic. So we had a break.

For a minute, the music they are playing sounding like the theme to Coronation Street

I just wound it back, and I totally agree!

For those that didn't pick up on it, it was just as they put up the Start Order table:

Here is the full length version of the "Coronation Street" theme tune:
