2025 Skate to Milano Men's Short Program

[yuumagical]

A lot of red for Daniliants, but it was a nice skate to watch,

I thought his hooded top was nice to see too!

For those of us up WAAAY past our bedtimes, there is a GS thread called

REWATCH 2025 Skate to Milano (Olympic Qualifier)​

• Thread starter labgoat

It has no spoilers and lists the YouTube links in order of skaters for you to rewatch at a more decent hour. In my US timezone, the pairs final comes on at 2:30 am...so will be referencing this link for sure!

Thanks for giving this bump - this is exactly why I created this thread.

There are many more historical threads of competitions from days long ago. The links come and go - it is too hard to keep up with all the links but enough are still active to make it worthwhile. I scour the net every week to add new ones as they appear.

These can be found in Fan Fest > General - they were created as therapy during the pandemic to see how many I could find and the collection just keeps growing. They all begin with the word REWATCH. Enjoy the golden oldies, major competitions, history of the JGP and Senior GP and the 6.0 days!

I googled and found this from gossip-site

“My father who is at the frontlines sent me this song a couple of months before. I love competing with this program because it comes from the heart.” Ukrainian Kyrylo Marsak on programs and competing for the Olympic spot

This is heartbreaking to read.

Does anyone have a link to that article? I can't find it.

I think Mark said there were details about his SP, not necessarily an article? I'm looking..

Both Akopova/Rakhmanin in pairs and Daniliants going for Armenian music for the Olympic season is cute although expected

this is heartbreaking to read.

Ahhhhh that story. Man.

Does he have a tattoo of a dragonfly on his (bare) arm?

After taking a closer look at that tattoo...I think it might actually be a mosquito.

This is heartbreaking to read.

The whole war is heartbreaking. So much pain has been inflected on poor Ukraine in the past 3 1/2 years with no end in sight. The guy is fighting on the front line so his son does not have to. That is how much he loves his son and I really hope that he has a great free skate so he can go to the Olympics.

I believe he will get that spot. I really hope his father will get to see him skate at the Olympics and reunite.

 

[Arigato]

How much does it cost to build a new rink? Just curious.

 

[4everchan]

[FlossieH]

There are so many skaters in this group who I would love to qualify for what it would mean.

 

[Ichatdelune]

The last group I can watch without passing out, I really hope my lad has a stronger heart than I do
