2025 Skate Canada Men's Short Program

[moonvine]

Go Tomoki! Have a great skate! Love Free Bird on you - use your wings to help your jumps.

I like it too!

Is Tomoki getting the 3rd spot?

that's my hope

 

[Isk]

Hiwatashi is so matter of fact on the jumps, but these are ugly camel positions. Nice leg kick and he picks up on the steps, but they look a bit untidy. Overall a big improvement from past seasons.

Cathy Reed did this choreography - I think putting the jumps first in the slow part is helping his consistency. Bravo! Giving away some points on the positions and speed of the ending spins but still an excellent skate.

 

[Weathergal]

Tomoki I'm buying what you're selling - but please work on those spins.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Fantastic skate from Tomoki, bravo!

Now clean up those spins, and you’ll be right there

Tomokiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

Yeah boyyyyyyy!!!

What happened with your spinnn

 

[Jontor]

Tomoki really being consistent this season. Not my type of program though...

 

[YuBluByMe]

The last two spins looked like they were beat with an ugly stick. Other than that, this is the best Hiwatashi has looked in years. He skated that with a lot of speed and energy.

Tomoki is so entertaining to watch. Wish the spins at the end were a bit faster though.

 

[moonvine]

Is there a stuffie limit at this comp?

 

[cocteautwin]

He's certainly not suffering from energy deficiency. Another great skate from Tomoki.

Tomoki is so talented. Training in JPN has been good for him. The music is a bit of frenzy, but he gets a lot out of that small frame of his. Thank you to Mie Hamada for cracking the whip with him and getting him to be more consistent.

 

[Kris135]

I am starting to think that he better clear his calendar for February now

Tomoki

I despise Freebird with the passion of thousand of burning suns, Despised it in the 70s, despise it now. The fact that I can even watch the program is a testament to what Tomoki has done with it. His presentation since juniors has improved exponentially.

 

[museksk8r]

Tomoki has an annoying habit of throwing away the details of a program. What was with the loss of tension in the choreography and the last spin looked really sloppy. Stop making silly mistakes and giving away valuable points!

 

[auser]

Anyone else having trouble with the DailyMotion stream?

 

[skylark]

I love Tomoki's growth and development. He's so much more expressive, as well as improving consistency. It really shows so far this season. Well done!

What are those orange patches on the USA jackets?
