2025 NHK Trophy Men's Short Program

[FlossieH]

I am surprised at how many US members are here. Are you still up from last night?

 

[EdgeCall]

Not bad at all! I think the music needs a skate with full abandon, and he is close but not quite there yet. Hoping for the rest of the season.

 

[auser]

All green for Francois. Lots to like about his skating.

 

[Sai Bon]

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

He has 4T and 4S, but he's injured according to Mark

 

[Arigato]

Loved his 3A.

 

[labgoat]

Jimmy is smiling instead of looking nervous. Good luck man!

He does the quad Salchow but it's very hit and miss, so maybe in the FP.

 

[FlossieH]

He has 4T and 4S, but he's injured according to Mark

That would explain why I thought I'd seen him do quads before!

Hey Jimmy! Hope you and your dog are doing well.

Oops, that was a rather elegant fall though!

I took a 3 hour nap after Sectionals

 

[labgoat]

This is why I get nervous. I know how to pick em. I suffered a lot with Paul Wylie too. Paul almost didn't make the Olympic team. Jimmy is not helping his case today - tomorrow please...

 

[auser]

Jimmy's dynamic stsq was entertaining . Looking forward to watching this program grow.

 

[labgoat]

Great start for Boyang with clean quad and 3A.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ooo, the Combo went a bit off, but Boyang is so pleasing to watch good on him for working so hard on his artistry! It really shows now!

 

[Sai Bon]

Boyang is so much more expressive and pleasant to watch in his old age, bless him.

 

[EdgeCall]

Born a quadster, grown into an artist. Beautiful!

 

[labgoat]

Ooo, the Combo went a bit off, but Boyang is so pleasing to watch good on him for working so hard on his artistry! It really shows now!

he seems to really enjoy the edgework and interpretive side of skating now and this program is very nice for him

 

[anonymoose_au]

Love the flags!

This audience has good taste.

I'm very happy to see Boyang in great form overall!

 

[FlossieH]

Better than I expected from Boyang

 

[TallyT]

That was really satisfying to watch.
