Worlds 2024 Men FS: ‘Putting the Eh? in Standing Ovation’

[Wyliefan]

I like this music for Donovan. All four cuts of it.

 

[Frau Muller]

Donovan creating his own Dance Party!

 

[Jay42]

Donovan has improved so much since moving to Canada and I love it so much. He's such a fun skater.

 

[Rukia]

he really looks winded by the end here but the beginning was way better I'm very impressed by his new coaching team's work with him

 

[Dave of the North]

Did Canada win?

Yes

Back to skating, Carrillo off to good start but the mistakes are creeping in.

Donovan CARRILLO
Coach: Jonathan Mills, Myke Gillman
Music: Besame Mucho, Historia de un Amor

4S
3A+3T
3Lo
Fly Change Foot Combo Spin 4
3A - stumbled out
3Lz+2A+2A+SEQ
3F< - step out
Choreo Sequence
3Lzq - stumbled out
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Change Foot Sit Spin 4

Started strong but lost the speed going into the 2nd 3A. Hopefully he gets a full season of competing & training next season to work on that stamina.

152.48 = 2nd Place
232.67 = 2nd Place

So improved, but still Donovan!! Needs more endurance. So wonderful

 

[Colonel Green]

That has to be his best free skate ever, at least technically.

 

[Karen-W]

Not perfect but that was really good for Donovan! Is it wrong that I'm low-key hoping he can slide into the top 12 and have 2 GPs next season?

 

[JoannaLouise]

Deafening cheers for Donovan! He has so many fans here, I love it!

 

[susieB129]

What a difference a few years makes! I absolutely love Donovan and predict (hope?) even greater strides next year.

 

[Spikefan]

Does Donovan have enough funding to stay in Canada? I hope so, great improvement.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Not perfect but that was really good for Donovan! Is it wrong that I'm low-key hoping he can slide into the top 12 and have 2 GPs next season?

Somebody should invite him anyway

 

[Lara]

Huge smile right now.

 

[Kaz7714]

A Mexican who used to train in a mall in a shopping center, had an injury and now is lighting up the world's? I am here for it. Such a joy to see him now .

 

[Jay42]

I mean we like to adopt skaters who train here. We could sneak him into an SC host spot. God only knows we probably don't actually need it.

 

[airgelaal]

I'm sure we'll see Donovan in gala

 

[peibeck]

Donovan puts the FUN in queso fundido!

 

[Sally1214]

Donovan! What a crowd pleaser! That first spin (A-frame?) that he held for so long was AWESOME! Pretty decent jump content and a TON of personality. Nice shirt too.

eta: HUGE score!! YAY!!

That was fun and something I'd never thought I'd see. What a difference adequate finding can make!

 

[Citlali]

Donovan since moving to Canada:
Technical skills
Sabor Latino

I hope he can combine both soon.

 

[Karen-W]

I won't be surprised if he is invited to either SkAm or SCI. I just want him to have two, lol.

 

[Spikefan]

Nice shirt too.

Best dressed this season.

 

[Sally1214]

GO, WESLEY!!

 

[MacMadame]

Certainly defines the guys in his age range that I work with

That's my son in a nutshell.

 

[kemc]

Performances like Carrillo’s this week are what makes attending events in person so thrilling

 

[tony]

Wesley is too good of a skater for the programs he gets.

And more of the same with his performances. His Nationals skate wasn't exactly amazing, either. Please, coach and choreography change.

 

[airgelaal]

If I were Bill and sat in the audience, I would start to get nervous
Oh, so I misunderstood?

 

[Rukia]

this program is not good oof
