2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games | Jan 27 - Feb 1

Good and fair judging at this event. No favouritism. Judges marked what they saw on the ice

oh lord... 55.. that's low.

Because he lost two elements completely. 1Lz = 0 points, fall on spin entry = 0 points for spin. Solid 10+ points down the drain.

Well, I really enjoyed that. Some wonderful skates. More compassion by the commentators with the men than with the pairs. Let's see what happens in the Free.

 

[icewhite]

omg.. is it really 430am ? what am i doing to myself ?

Nah, you're delusional, it's 10.30 am.

i know i meant, low for rio as we know he usually can do so much better... i think the judging has been relatively fair and fine all night... though i would have given B/S in junior pairs a tad more (call me biased )

 

[ladyjane]

Bye everybody! I'll try to be at the Rhythm Dance tomorrow as well. Hope to meet you all there.

 

[4everchan]

Nah, you're delusional, it's 10.30 am.

that would be terrible because my alarm would ring.. i am happy i can sleep 6 hours

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well time for me to decide whether to sleep at normal times or sleep now and wake up to watch US Nationals

Like no offense but Nakata Rio seriously needs a 3F-3T

IIRC Nakata Rio does have a 3F-3T, he did it at regionals or something. Wonder why he keeps on using the 3T-3T when the BV becomes so much lower

Nakata did 3F+3T in the short program, not 3T+3T.

I... saw a 3T-3T... am I going blind???

Sounds like Savitsky should hurry up with his commentator's career.

a roller skater is our tech expert ?

Right!!!??

I think it's his set up for the flip - it looks like he's going to a toeloop.

This answers so many questions and raises so many more

it may also be @Ichatdelune 's beer goggles... i saw a 3f-3t and i know nothing

I know this is a junior men's competition but with that 55 I don't think he's getting onto the podium even if he skates the lights out in the free

He's 13.69 points off of the podium, 19.47 off of 2nd and 20.79 points off of 1st.
Rio's highest FS score (in Jrs internationally) is 160.06, Hyungeom's is 149.54 (-10.52), Adam's is 146.60 (-13.46) and Jacob's is 133.52 (-26.54), (and Yanhao's is 137.80 and Tian's is 134.86, for reference).

It will be very difficult (especially because he doesn't look to be in the best condition) but it's not completely impossible, especially if others make mistakes (which is very possible, this is Junior men's after all). If Jacob actually manages to go clean for once Rio's chances really drop dramatically though.

Could be, but not the beer. I was too distraught over Hyungyeom to actually notice which foot he used

I see how that can be, but I'm not going to bet on it. And to be honest I don't want that to happen either, not because I hate Nakata Rio or anything but it'll mean that the top 3 from the short had bad skates and who wants that
