2025 CA Nebelhorn Trophy Men's Free Skate

Kazuki Whatever happens to his TES this boy never gives up a perfromance. I love this Halston program. He may not be the most consistent skater, not the best jumper, not the most powerful one but imo he's probably the best performer of entire current field.

Kazuki has a special magic - the rink was completely silent yesterday when he skated - you could hear a pin drop - the audience was rapt.

Seconded! I normally like Kazuki in more energetic programs, but was really impressed when I saw this program live. When he's on the ice, he commads everyone's attention.
Btw, was it you yesterday in the 3rd row of the main sector (during pairs free), chatting with a lady with a German flag?

Hi @surimi - yes it was me - (I spotted you and tried to catch your attention as you went past one time). Maybe see you later - enjoy the skating!

No, friend, this is exactly what happened in this case.

Every judge ranked Gogo first, except the Canadian judge. And who did he rank first? Roman.

I'm telling you it fits the pattern, friend. Before the competitive season began, Gogo wasn't REALLY on anyone's list for the Olympic selection. Not really. Then when Keegan announced his return, it was all about whether Keegan or Roman would get the spot. And now suddenly, Gogo seems a legitimate threat, perhaps even the early favorite.

And that wasn't in Skate Canada's plans. So what does their judge do? Ding Gogo just a bit by being the only judge to place him second, and he elevates Roman with a first placement - when nearly every other judge had Roman in 3rd or 4th (only the Japanese judge ranked Roman 2nd). And it's not just the placements - it's the points. The Canadian judge scored Steven lower than every other judge on the panel, and he scored Roman the highest of any of the judges.

It's obvious. Roman is the fed's "preferred" skater. At least until they see what Keegan's got.

maybe this judging fits your hypothesis which is commonly seen in many countries. However, in Canada, usually, judges just lowball their own...no matter if they are number 1, 2 or 28.

To be honest with you, the way Roman skated, he deserved higher PCS from all judges not just the Japanese and the Canadian judge. Not because he may be the favourite from the Fed but because he truly is a beautiful skater. Japanese and Canadian judges recognize skating skills. That's the pattern I see here
