@elektra blue now is a good test.

I am always struck by Grassl’s complete lack of tango feel and every time I see this, I wonder who thought this was a good choice for him, and why

Lukas has been such a cactus of late, when he is on, he is so entrancing. And I love that he is himself, I never feel like he is being forced into something else, and that means a lot watching a skater.

 

[elektra blue]

my baby survived

 

[snowflake]

what a group so far... Daniel also delivering

 

[4everchan]

Daniel did well. The TP will be at work on those first jumps

The same person who thought he could also portray a preteen aspiring world-class ballerino and the dead pope?

 

[EdgeCall]

Little fight on the combo but good, expressive skate by Daniel.

Is it just me or does he suddenly look younger than before?

you'd love my skating LOL. very myself.

Daniel. Nice outfit and program. Really good skate and great spins.

 

[4everchan]

the ankle flexibility is scary on these spins... I cannot say I appreciate seeing it but I like the originality.

 

[elektra blue]

keep it together Kaoctus

 

[cocteautwin]

Which Kao will we have today? Utter brilliance or utter disaster? Nerve wracking moment for my poor heart

 

[4everchan]

scores look fair to me...

 

[Ruthypegs]

well 43 is huge considering Deniss had 40. they need to pace themselves... 45 is 9s.
Jacob got 39.30... just one point below intricate choreography and enthusiastic Gogo...
What we see here is the increase of PCS each flight which bugs me

it really annoys me, too - and makes it so much less of a proper competition. PCS needs to reflect the skate being presented, not manipulated to achieve specific/desired results. It must be very demoralising for so many of the skaters.

My nephew Daniel GRASSL (ITA) is wearing a purple top and black trousers.

Skating to a selection of instrumental music from "Tango Per La Libertà".

Oh, drat. I forgot about the vocalisations coming in. Thank goodness it was just before the end.

That was absolutely beautiful!

He goes into 4th position.

Daniel raised his eyebrows briefly, but that was all the reaction there was from any of them.

That was a wall splat worthy of Hanna-Barbara

I think the dead pope kind of works for him actually!
It’s better seen live, I will admit

Fall and crash into the boards
