2025 NHK Trophy Men's Short Program

[labgoat]

Maybe becuz I watch and love lots of UK tv. I love his Scots tones.

I do too - especially when they are unintended puns

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wait no...my eyes are playing tricks on me, I hope, because that's like an unforgivable fashion faux pas.

Hmm Haru's starting off well!

 

[labgoat]

Hiiiii, I'm hear at an ungodly hour, so I might skip PBPs because of said ungodly hour and also because my favourite son is hear and I hate doing PBPs during a panic attack. Still excited for this event, even though there is a high menning potential.

totally understand, my guy is here and he likes to scare the beejezus outta me

 

[Sai Bon]

Great to see you live @anonymoose_au and @Sai Bon earlier.

Are you in Australiasia too, auser?

Hmm Haru's starting off well!

Which faux pas are we talking about?

Can't say I am keen on this shirt, which reminds me of a summer nightie... but I do rather like him.

 

[labgoat]

The word for Haru is smooth and easy. Nice GP debut young man!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Haru was literally on crutches earlier in the fall and started jumping triples last week, so this was a really impressive skate from him. He was so adorable in all of the post-practice interviews, he mentioned that he was so excited to share ice with some of his skating idols and international competitions. The spins aren't quite back yet, but everything else was very nicely done.

 

[bartlebooth]

Okay I am so nervous for all the men...nobody else is allowed to get hurt

We've definitely already had enough injuries for the whole event.

 

[FlossieH]

I don't think I've seen Kakiuchi before. Nice looking skate, but technically lower than I expected for this event.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Eeee here come the flags!

Although we shouldn't be encouraging people to disregard doctor's advice...

 

[auser]

Are you in Australiasia too, auser?

No. I am in California. But I appreciate your time zone.

What a great attitude. Mark is saying that he wanted to skate here because it would be a great life experience. Smart and touching answer.

 

[YuBluByMe]

That was a solid performance from Kakiuchi, although he dumped the camel spin. He has good basics and this is good experience for him.

 

[Sai Bon]

Awwww, Haru is adorable in the K&C

 

[labgoat]

Go Francois! Trying to escape the invisible prison...he uses his magic and skates very successfully. Love the vibe of this program.

 

[TallyT]

Mark just described the theme of the program and the person who thought it up has been reading a lot of bad fiction....

 

[flanker]

Dance and pairs were too early for me but I am here now.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Francois has been skating so well this season, he has such nice jumps and quality on the rest of his elements as well, and his programs are always really enjoyable to watch. He's doing sneaky well in his GPs thanks to his quality, cleanliness, and spin levels (get your level 4s, boys!)

 

[FlossieH]

Nice skate from Pitot. I hadn't realised he didn't have a quad.

 

[Sai Bon]

Nice clean skate from Francois!
