Original Post

August 2018​

No thread for Daniel ?

Today, at Bratislava, it was awesome
Clean program, very interesting spin positions, with the highest base value of the competition, even over Gogolev :eeking:

I'm very hyped for the free, with those quads incoming

 

[Ruthypegs]

Great that Daniel has his own thread!

 

[rikaquegira]

Omg, I absolutely loved his skate! I didn’t watch Junior Men last season so I didn’t know him but now I’m already a fan!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Does anyone know if he has a second JGP? I want him in the Final.

 

[sweetice]

:hap93:

Does anyone know if he has a second JGP?

The lineup for the last three events still need to be announced, but he got from our fed two JGP events on both the last two years, so he will surely get it another one.

It is our Plushy, after all

 

[LRK]

I don't follow juniors at all, so I haven't watched his JGP performances of previous years, but someone posted a video of him from Italian Nationals one year, where he had (presumably his) this cat in the kiss & cry. Cats are always a quick way into my good graces. Also, I've seen him doing Plushy's Italian show these, I think, two last years. And of course I saw his quad video in the European Men's thread.

But then I just saw the video of his SP... My goodness! If he's got the tech as well, then he's got everything. When can he move up to seniors?

 

[sweetice]

When can he move up to seniors?

It is already 16 years old, so we can also see him at the next euros, along with Rizzo, if everything goes well. Italy has two spots, for them.

Then he need to rival Rizzo, for the only world spot, but right now we still can think to see Rizzo at senior worlds and Grassl at junior worlds.

 

[sweetice]

Wait... it is now listed also at Linz http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat03108763.htm

It was Frangipani there, when the list was announced.

 

[ime]

I remembered watch his short program the day before yesterday, and it was so impressed! Now in my time zone I just get up . Trying to search his FS program somewhere.....

Good. He looks ready for seniors to me. His confidence & expressiveness. Also, a small note - I really like his jump landings, how he holds them for a moment, and his free leg position. So many skaters just plop down the free leg as soon as possible and skip off to do other things - it just looks very… sloppy. I like it when the jump is made to look like a highlight.

You might have found it already, but I think it ought to be here.

 

[npavel]

seems like they switched and Frangipani is at ISU JGP Amber Cup 2018 in Kaunas / LTU

 

[sweetice]

Thanks to dorispulaski, and everyone else that will add something to the first post.

 

[rikaquegira]

Daniel is assigned to his first Senior Competition, he will be back in Bratislava for Ondrej Nepela Trophy! Good luck Daniel!!! So excited for him!!!

Yay!!! Good to know! Rooting for a clean skate!

 

[dorispulaski]

Check out his competitive history in the OP. Daniel has been skating in senior competitions for quite some time. He did Golden Spin last season, so Nepela is not his first Challenger Series event.

 

[dorispulaski]

This is too cute, but what is the cow doing there:

Okay, I have added everything I can to the OP including Daniel's Linz programs.

Good luck to him throughout the rest of the season!

Daniel skated wonderful at Golder Bear. He was first in the SP with a wonderful 4Lz and 3A and 3Lz3T and first in the FS with 4Ls 4L 3A... and got
82,42 + 167,95 = 250,37 points.
