Luc so sad...
but a fiery after skate talk

 

[snowflake]

Fun Luc Chaplin but not his best performance. In third place. intriguing how well you can hear them talking in K&C.

Now go Valtter!

Merano Ice Trophy is at the same time.

And Bellu Memorial too (No Finnish man entered there either).

Valtter's two beautiful, gentle programs this season are soothing my aching figure skating heart.

 

[TT_Fin]

There is still Challenge Cup, I don't know if he's entered for that. But would they really choose him over the quad doctor?

Finland's rules are clear and fair. Two SB scores counted together - and there are some clear rules which competitions are counted - will shoot out who will get the spot. Makar would have been some points ahead of Valtter if he had reached the TES and the spot would have been his.

Edit. Must eat my worlds after Valtter's scores. Maybe Valtter is now ahead but it is close.

Well, the doctor certainly got the job done. In fact, you could say it was clinical! xD

 

[icewhite]

I feel you, Valter, I feel you.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Go Kyrylo!!!!

And on that note, I'm out.

I've delayed leaving for as long as I can, but I'm afraid that I'm bailing out for food now that Valtter has skated.

I'll watch the last 3 guys later after I've eaten.

All the best to them!

Expect serious chaos from Kao today as he works on increasing his BV for WC
Aside from the 4F and 4Lo, he's apparently been attempting new, crazy jump combos during practice


Go Luc!

Thank you for the chaos report, I am eagerly anticipating what we will see from him!

Why not as TT_Finn explained it. Anyway Makar is Finland's future when Valtter quits.

Sadly I think Valtter never got to skate his free at worlds. Hopes for Montreal!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Yes well done! Ran out of steam at the end (the program is a bit backloaded) but the 4S is coming along nicely.

 

[icewhite]

not a bad skate, but he's clearly not at the top of his fitness
I don't know if it's injury or lack of training?

 

[snowflake]

Well well Kyrylo in 5th place

Right, I wasn't aware Makar was ahead in points for worlds selection, or even that Finland had such a clear cut selection system.

Sadly he's been dealing with injuries and illnesses all season.

Well well Kyrylo in 5th place

Still in second overall, but he missed out on a medal.

oh, right

 

[yuumagical]

The quality of the jumps wasn't the best today for Nozomu, which sadly takes away from my enjoyment of his skating today.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

C'mon Kao!

Show us a nice 4F and 3F3Lo (did a good one during 6min warmup)
...and don't hurt yourself

 

[snowflake]

Has Japan named their world team already?

Kao stumbling...
