2025-26 Grand Prix Final Men's Free Skate

No joke, these might have been some of Adam's very best quads. The 3As, however, very much not.

Adam fights with Axels.

Axel Paulsen has a Vendetta against Adam

I needed to point at the screen and push Adam back on axis on that last jump

 

[freedomlover]

solid for adam!!

 

[lariko]

Free is so much better than the SP, but still seems like ways from his full potential yet. Fingers crossed for recovery by Oly.

 

[elektra blue]

the start was amazing, then he remembered he's a cactus

 

[EdgeCall]

Phew, what a wild ride. He started strong and then slowly faltered. At least he avoided the worst.

 

[GGFan]

Those first three jumping passes were some of the best jumps I've ever seen Adam perform. I do not think this program is as strong as his short and the first 1/2-3/4 is just a jump drill with speed. Love the passion in the last part.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Idk, that 4T landing was super harsh it may cause some pain and that's why he fails 2nd part of the skate or just Adam being him.Believe there is a world where he is consistent.He could fight for medals.Still dark horse for Olympic podium.

So one can just tack a waltz jump and it will avoid the +COMBO?

Adam extruding profund hate for proper axis...

@elektra blue do we think this costume in an upgrade?

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That started out well, but went off the rails, especially with those wonky Axels! He has very, shall we say, unconventional technique on many of his jumps. He's definitely an exciting skater, but I want him to have more refinement and stretch.

Adam did four absolutely amazing quads just to mess all the triples later
I'm still not a fan of this concept and costume change although I really like his skating. I wish to see him working with someone else than Benoit once just to see some different ideas for him.

Misha desperately need new choreographer. The step sequence and choreo sequence is just terrible.
He got better levels than usually though.
Not a bade performance, some really good jumps but still a mess was there.

I don't think it's the choreographer. Although, it might not be helping. He really has skating skills that make Ilia's look like a 10 and he is definitely stripping down his programs to get the jumps in. Does it matter who your choreographer is when you don't do their choreo?

Adam's just not my cup of tea. But, he has a lot of speed. Glad he didn't have scary falls today.

The Frenchiest of French jump technique - held it together well on the first four jumps, and then the Axels were not well controlled, and the last three jumping passes were all over the place.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Baldy for the first time

 

[YuBluByMe]

This was a better skate from Siao Him Fa than at his last GP. I wasn’t as impressed by his first few jumping passes as I should’ve been because I’m just over the “1 good program” quota at this point. Body movements looked sloppy and unfinished in the step sequence. Backflip has nothing to do with the program.

 

[EdgeCall]

I am beginning to suspect the shirt is actually a hidden plea for godly intervention. Is it that bad already?

 

[auser]

Lovely first half of program from Adam. Admire what he is trying to do with it and hope he can skate it cleanly sometime to fulfill his vision.
