what happened to Jin Boyang?

I'd like for Li Yuhsiang and Daiwei Dai to qualify for the Olympics... but I think it will be tough for them.

Daiwei is either going to easily qualify or crash and burn. He's so good, buttery soft skating and jumps, but both the 3A and 4T are fairly new elements for him, and he doesn't have a ton of experience, so I can't be mad at him.

what happened to Jin Boyang?

Back injury, he pulled out of Chinese Nationals for that reason, I think.

what happened to Jin Boyang?

Back injury, he's been struggling with it since December or so? Possibly even longer?

Honestly, missing the first group was a good idea. *sigh*

thats an understatement

I have never seen Aleksandr Vlasenko land all his jumps before!!!

 

[Skating91]

Cracking skate! He enjoyed it too.

 

[Seven Sisters]

He’s so proud of himself, and deservedly so

He even got a stuffie!

I have never seen Aleksandr Vlasenko land all his jumps before!!!

so for balance sake he had to mess all his spins

 

[Doggygirl]

Vlasenko sure brought the positive energy to that program!

Cracking skate! He enjoyed it too.

Somebody had to break the spell.

How tall is Vlasenko? Spinning looks like a chore to him. Anyway, good skate, it's nice to see somebody landing his content for a change.

I am expecting Dai to qualify.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Hmmm... This tech panel is not great either, it seems. And that after the (J)GPs were so strict with calls.

 

[nickp91]

Yes Vlasenko doesn't have much choreo/transitions in between the jumps

 

[labgoat]

Watch for the difficult back shoot the duck in the step sequence for Kyrylo

 

[Arigato]

Oh wow, they used the Taiwan flag!

 

[bartlebooth]

Nooo

 

[FlossieH]

That was going so well until the Lutz. Still not a bad skate for Marsak. I think the extra adrenaline combined with the smaller rink size threw him a bit.
