that's because he hasn't read the forum yet... when he sees my post, he will smile again

Nice to see Han Yan as a coach!

Indeed.

I was a big fan of him. So, I hope he is successful in passing on his style of skating to the younger generation.

Yihe looks unstable i guess he grew up over night as sometimes boys do, but he has nice basics

He's actually more stable now than last season. I genuinely didn't think he'd be sent to the JGP anytime soon at the start of last season, but he's come a long way since then. I think he changed coaches, which will serve him long-term, but often comes with a transitional period.

Sorry, Don Igor, but this didn't look like an offer the judges can't refuse.

Wait for the rest of the skaters. This event is much less stacked than last weeks' and a number of the skaters here are historically inconsistent or don't have much experience.

A respectable skate for a last minute call-up. A good learning experience for him at 13 yo.

Igor. Nice outfit. Good skate. He has a lot of potential.

yeah... i guess that's also why I put him in my top five... because I couldn't find as many contenders as usual. At the same time, I don't think i will watch 20 skaters at this point. I am a mess. My fault for trying to get to bed when i was actually sleeping on the couch at 4am... and then realizing i couldn't sleep and decided to watch skating...

I think it helps so much to see the other skaters and to know you belong.

 

[labgoat]

I have good memories of Gjon's skating

[labgoat]

Oh dear - not a good start. But I can see that he is capable of completing these jumps if not today.

 

[elektra blue]

oh no, no combo

 

[Ichatdelune]

In some ways, it doesn't matter. He needs to learn all these styles while he is still young and later on, he will pick his own stuff.

You're right and maybe it's just my tastes speaking, but to my eyes Minkyu is best with classical/lyrical music, his style is smooth as his skating is and he's not the most outgoing person so while he can step up with time to drama/theatrics/etc. it's not as enthralling as him just gliding on the notes of Beethoven. And as I believe he chose Exogenesis this season plus his past choice of Notre Dame... I don't think his tastes align with my wishes for him so... But then again, he is determined to put the quad sal in from this season on (probably the reason why his usually fine spins were not up to standard today) so maybe music choice isn't the most important thing on his mind this season

Nice flow from Gion, but the jumps need more work.

 

[labgoat]

He has a nice maturity to his presentation
