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

[Wyliefan]

It says something about how quickly a person can get used to just about anything that I barely notice Shouty French Guy anymore.

 

[Kaz7714]

Oh Jun ....

 

[Sally1214]

Oh no ... come on Cha.

 

[tony]

Intelligently no attempt at a +3T on the first 4S today.

He has SUCH a presence-- yes, even when he crawls into the 3As later in the program. But I don't think this program does much for him, especially compared to the beauty of the last minute of Bond last year. Second 4S I don't believe was fully rotated.

 

[Kasey]

The dangly pieces of Cha's costume are distracting

 

[MacMadame]

The dangly pieces of Cha's costume are distracting

And not Batman-like at all.

 

[Lanie]

He’s jumping so close to the boards

 

[Rukia]

commit to the slide out on that jump! flap your wings batman

 

[Karen-W]

The dangly pieces of Cha's costume are distracting

And not Batman-like at all.

He must have tumble-dried his costume with Samoilov's SP shirt and the dangly fringe from that got caught on Cha's ruffles.

I think they finally got something to somewhat block his sound. On the final day.

 

[rfisher]

I've always wondered how skaters wearing crosses or other necklaces keep from getting hit in the face when they're flying about. I'd think that would hurt.

 

[airgelaal]

Something in the way...
Oh, I see...

 

[tony]

Even the Ina Bauer is just MEH, not even held as long as he can do it. I'll gladly volunteer to spend some time with him and choreograph his next masterpiece.

 

[Kasey]

Cha needs a haircut as well. Let's get them all in a line at the barbershop

Junhwan CHA
Coach: Hyun Jung Chi
Music: The Batman Theme

4S
1T - big pop, really close to the boards, and the camera bay
4S<+1T - 3-turns between the jumps
Fly Camel Spin 4
3Lz+3Lo
Step Sequence 4
3A+2A+2A+SEQ
3Aq - spun out, fall - stayed on the ice for longer than was necessary
3F
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
Fly Change Foot Combo Spin 4 (3 after review)

The loss of training time coming back on Cha in this competition. The turn, slide, fall, and lay there after the 2nd triple Axel was very strange.

161.44 = 5th Place
249.65 = 3rd Place

 

[slicekw]

I hope Cha gets the healing time he deserves

 

[Matryeshka]

Well you know what, Cha will always be the prettiest and have the best skin.

 

[peibeck]

Cha: Inconsistent as always, and this program is really directionless. He's better when he has a more character driven program like R&J. Nothing says Batman to me about this skate.

 

[Karen-W]

Cha needs a haircut as well. Let's get them all in a line at the barbershop

Ilia's the only one of the youngsters who stopped at the airport barbershop BEFORE boarding his flight to Montreal, lol.

 

[kemc]

Did not like the music choices for Miura or Cha

 

[kwanfan1818]

Cha's program felt about 12 minutes long.

[airgelaal]

Korea saved 2 spots?

 

[Sally1214]

Nice opening quad and a couple of beautiful combos from Cha but, overall, a disappointing performance for him. Darn it. He sure is a cutie though. Certainly could see him gracing the cover of mags (as has been previously mentioned upthread).

 

[tony]

Korea saved 2 spots?

Yes, worst he can do is 11th.

 

[Lanie]

I want to heckle Eteri

 

[Vagabond]

And now, everyones favorite skater.

 

[Karen-W]

Korea saved 2 spots?

Yup. Barely.

 

[Rukia]

...I almost changed this but you know what I'm leaving the typo
