[skateboy]

Zapata (ESP) is skating decently. I like his program, lots of energy.

ETA: We need more Cherry Poppin Daddies programs. 59.91

 

[skateboy]

Marchioni (ITA) having a shaky skate but another program with GOOD skating music. Two in a row, I'm lighting a virtual candle! 52.45

 

[Elisheba]

Well now we back to Lighthouse, which I hate. Turn the lights off! Save electricity!

 

[her grace]

will only be able to watch intermittently

Vaclavik

3a nice and high, 3r with step out, he has a lot of transitions in and out of elements, but maybe needs to make it a bit simpler so he can complete all the elements; 3z-3t out of steps, drama knee slides, watchable skater, hope to see this SP clean later in the season

 

[skateboy]

Vaclavik (SVK) lands an easy 3A. AWFUL monochromatic ballad for skating, it has the appeal of bong water. He deserves better. 71.06

 

[Wyliefan]

Clean skate for Fegan, but only a 2A.

 

[her grace]

Fegan

2a, outfit matches Levito's LP costume from Cranberry, 3s-3t, feels like his ballet style isn't the most natural match for the classic rock, but I'm excited to see how the program develops over the season, low TES value

 

[floridaice]

Beautiful skate, just missing harder jumps.

 

[her grace]

Clean skate for Fegan, but only a 2A.

And also only a 3s-3t. A lot of technical firepower to add

 

[skateboy]

Fegan (USA) - cool program, cool music, cool skater. Better program than Vaclavik but no 3A, so probably 2nd for now. Beautiful spins. 67.97

 

[floridaice]

How long has Aleksandr been with Rafael?

 

[Wyliefan]

Oof, Babenko slipped and fell just as he was going up for the loop. Looked like the classic slip on a banana peel.

 

[HaNguyen]

Okay. This really was just not Babenko's day for jumping.

 

[Elisheba]

I love Babenko's music and sparkles.

 

[skateboy]

Babenko (UKR) falls going into the loop without getting off the ground. Props for skating to a classic Rossini overture. Nice smile, costume and presentation. Shame about the jumps, this won't score well, unfortunately. Seems like a sweet kid. 44.36

 

[Elisheba]

Did Tian just scratch his butt choreographically?!

 

[skateboy]

Tian (CHN) - I like him, music is French, quirky and fun. I preferred Fegan but it should be close between them.

68.34

 

[floridaice]

Did Tian just scratch his butt choreographically?!

Let's hope he doesn't make it his signature move

 

[floridaice]

Puffy shirt alert!

 

[skateboy]

Kock (RSA) has a great opening pose and moving fast! Nice costume, good music, good attack. Spins slow but overall a huge improvement from last season. Looks happy!

48.69

 

[skateboy]

De Angelo (SUI) with some energetic Pink Floyd music but not doing much with it... got better as he went along. Landed some decent stuff.

64.04

 

[Wyliefan]

Taiga's got a vest and a Buble song. I like him regardless.

 

[skateboy]

Nishino (JPN) skating to swingy music and serving Oda O face. Lands everything, dancing his ass off. This should lead.

75.97

 

[skateboy]

Bondar (CAN) skating to tango music. I've always liked his commitment, he seems like an intense kid. Would love to see him relax and let go.

70.84

 

[skateboy]

Petrychenko (AUT) skating to another horrible non-skateable ballad, but he's trying to emote. Why do so many coaches insist on this musical schlock? They all deserve better. He looks pretty happy in the K&C.

55.05

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

The first two groups strong. Didn`t half of them have a 3A? Only 1 fall from anybody.

 

[skateboy]

Uemura (JPN) with a deep V and expressive arms. Emotional music, turning energetic. Beautiful 3A, this might overtake Nishino? It should be close, I'd still have Nishino in the lead.

75.37

 

[beckab81]

Wow, Nicholas likely would have had the technical lead if he didn’t have the combo issue! The loop was really lovely & effortless.

 

[Elisheba]

That is quite a shirt on Vladislav.
