JGP Linz - Men SP & FS

[Marta24]

Aww. He is so happy.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh my gosh! His #reaction! Love it! The last two guys are gonna have to throw down to win.

 

[Wyliefan]

Keep them out forever, thanks, or failing that, disable the ****ing chat

How about both?

 

[Colonel Green]

That is one slow camel spin.

 

[her grace]

I need some green on the costume for this music.

Good skate from Kim!

 

[Colonel Green]

Kim's skating/non-jump elements don't look nearly as polished as I've come to expect from Korean skaters (the ladies, at least), but very solid technical delivery.

I'd question a few of those landings, though.

 

[PRlady]

That is one slow camel spin.

But with the big jumps he will go ahead.

 

[Karen-W]

Kim - 4T, 3a+2t - fast rotator. Kid certainly wants to win. This shirt of his is ugly though. Another 3a - fast 3-turns out on the landing. Korea needs to send this guy to a senior B so that he can compete at 4CCs!

 

[Frau Muller]

Kim is fine…but lack of stretch in camel spins.

 

[Karen-W]

Tech panel went to town on Kim's rotations! Daaaaang.

 

[Colonel Green]

Hagara needs to improve his PB by five points to stay in first.

 

[Wyliefan]

Behind Strommer in the free, barely ahead overall. Interesting.

 

[her grace]

This is ominous music to skate to when trying to hold onto a medal/win. Nice 3a-2t to start.

 

[Holy Headband]

Hagara is a very Brezina-core skater, which is not my favourite skating style TBF.

 

[Wyliefan]

And he's on too! This is a great final men's flight!

 

[Karen-W]

Hagara - two solid 3As to start. "Dream On" seems so on-brand for Adam, lol. His jumps seem very solid. Presentation - well, it's Aerosmith, so really, what can you do that hasn't already been done with this style of music?

 

[her grace]

Great skate. Efficient rotating in the air and seemed very unfazed by all the pressure. Could probably develop more artistically. Leading TES by a lot!

 

[Wyliefan]

Funny to hear the music fade out like that. You don't get that much in skating programs.

 

[Colonel Green]

He might get lower PCS marks than a few of his predecessors, but that's a deservedly big TES gap and the rotations all looked good. Should be enough. Nice job.

 

[Frau Muller]

Hagara - good blend of tech and art.

 

[Karen-W]

Takeaway from the first two weeks - Men need to score at least 210 to medal.

 

[Frau Muller]

Yeah, Adam Hagara of Slovak Republic!
I remember Ondrej Nepela!!!

 

[PRlady]

C’mon show us the medal ceremony!

 

[floskate]

A really great men's competition. The top 5 plus Rossi, Nishino and Seiko were all really strong!

 

[Karen-W]

Ted is telling us that they're going to leave the stream going for the medal ceremonies. But he's said that before and then the stream has been cut.

 

[PRlady]

That really was one of the best junior men comps I’ve seen. I usually find them not so interesting because it takes guys much longer to develop presentation.

 

[Colonel Green]

Hagara is Slovakia's first-ever JGP gold medalist in any discipline.

 

[Wyliefan]

Here we go at last! I was starting to wonder if there was even going to be a medal ceremony.

 

[Sylvia]

YAY, we finally get medal ceremonies!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Junior men are so adorkable. No hugs, no handshakes, they just sort of smile at each other awkwardly.
