2024 4CC Men FS - forget the skaters, we’re the ones ‘ticking all the boxes’

[miffy]

This snoozy Ed Sheeran ballad is still not something I would choose for Jin if it were up to me, but this is the best he has skated in years!

Can you imagine telling us 6 years ago that he’d skate to this? Or probably even telling him

Really happy for him doing so well at home

 

[Karen-W]

Chris is absolutely refusing to give in, lol. The ice can be covered in cuddly toys and he just won't say it!!!

 

[miffy]

Good morning and wow Jin is going to need a truck for all of those plushies!

In Britain we call them CUDDLY TOYS! Grrrr Chris.

I’m sorry. Good morning, I hope you slept well?

I love it here in CA also, Chris.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I think we should take our hats off, because Jin has really put the cat amongst the pigeons here.

I'm going to start saying "cuddly toys" and yes I slept very well (for a change).

 

[Bunny Hop]

It seems like only yesterday when we last heard Exogenesis...oh wait.

 

[Holy Headband]

Sotoe Yamamoto and Boyang Yin should be on the bingo card.

 

[Karen-W]

I managed to doze off for several of the last group's men and woke up for the warm-up and Jin and now Yamamoto wants to put me back to sleep.

 

[victorskid]

After insufficient sleep for 3 days, with a Zoom meeting coming up in 6 hours, and a who insists that it must be bedtime, I'm fading and may not be around for this whole final group...

I should have tried the ice cream trick

Enjoy!

Oh good!
I’m so sorry, I wasn’t criticising you at all, we just all need that phrase for bingo

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Bingo comes first!

 

[MacMadame]

I keep falling asleep.

"A haunting piece of music. We've heard it so many times, and yet we never get tired of it."

Ok, now I KNOW he's trolling us.

 

[her grace]

Nice Euler from Yamamoto. Not what he wanted from the quads.

Rough start but he build some quality into the second half of the program.

168.99 = 1st Place
263.43 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Chris, you are wrong. We do get tired of Exogenesis. I think we'd enjoy it a lot more if the ISU put a one or two season moratorium on it and refused to allow any skaters to use it.

 

[Bunny Hop]

No, Chris, Exogenesis is not something you never get tired of.

I actually think I'd like it if it wasn't so over-used. It's all the fault of the Kerrs.

 

[Frau Muller]

Sota “almost brilliant” in Exogenesis!
I am not tired of it.
“Real character”!

I keep falling asleep.

Bingo comes first…? you’ve done so well all week. I don’t remember the women’s event so I probably slept through most of it….

Now, here's someone who has the potential to "drop like a stone"...

Or maybe not...

 

[JoannaLouise]

The way he saved that Euler combo after almost face-planting

 

[miffy]

Or maybe not...

Used his get out of jail card

 

[Karen-W]

Or maybe not...

I mean, Canadian men have one good competition per season in them. Brace yourself for a rocky Worlds with him.

 

[honey]

This respectable skate means he will bomb worlds, doesn’t it?

I don’t even say that as snark. I just can’t imagine he’s got much more in him than this and it’s going to be a tough turn around for him after this to go back down and up again for worlds.

It wasn't perfect, but for a first time in the final flight of a major senior international competition that was pretty good for Chiu. We might have a chance at a top 10 finish at Worlds after all.

156.88 = 4th Place
240.38 = 4th Place
