Skate to Milano OWG Qualifier - Beijing CHN - Men's SP & FS

[Lanie]

I really enjoyed that. I don't remember seeing him much but from memory he's really improved so good for him!

 

[CantALoop]

No hair, just green boxes.

The shaved head is for aerodynamics

 

[Rukia]

Jarvis Ho is fun!

 

[skatingguy]

Jarvis Ho
Coach: Soojin Kim, Lincoln Lap Kan Yuen
Music: Back from the Edge by James Arthur

3F+3Tq - fall
2A
Flying Camel Spin 4
Change Foot Sit Spin 3
3Lz
Step Sequence 1
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 (3 after review)

Energetic presentation, but sloppy performance.

-1.00 = Falls
51.91 = 9th Place

Ho reminds me of Jimmy Ma.

 

[CantALoop]

Reminds me of a young Jimmy Ma - hopefully he gets even better next quad

Edit lol @kwanfan1818 beat me to it

 

[alj5]

Ho - fun program for him, very invested in the choreography. Love seeing someone who loves skating.

I was thinking through the program that he reminded me of Jimmy also!

 

[CantALoop]

That 3A floated

 

[Karen-W]

Wow. Kyrylo's landing stuff today! Or, well, he was until he got to the combo, which turned into a hot mess.

 

[Rukia]

i'm impressed he got a combo off at all tbh

 

[alj5]

Marsak - beautiful music, nice 4S & 3A, and then ugh on the combo. Such a great cannonball position in his sit. Another lovely program choreographed by Ekaterina Ivleva Guarise.

 

[HaNguyen]

Ughh. Kyrylo really needs to up his spin and step levels. He may be too low to make it.

 

[skatingguy]

Kyrylo Marsak
Coach: A. Mayer Virtanen, O. Tumanovskyi
Music: Fall on Me by A. & M. Bocelli

4S - nearly ran out of room
3A
Change Foot Camel Spin 3 (2 after review) - first position was not stable
3Lz+2T - hands down on the Lutz - turn between jumps
Flying Sit Spin 3
Step Sequence 2
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

First couple of jumps were good, but then a bit of issue on the spin, and it threw things off.

72.33 = 3rd Place

 

[CantALoop]

The K&C custom pillow

 

[Karen-W]

That's a really cool custom pillow Kyrylo received from a fan!

 

[tony]

Burak was first alternate in 2022.

His short program last season was much better than this, in which he's completely skated through the looping music for the first minute.

 

[Debbie S]

I hope Kyrylo qualifies. I admit to having a soft spot for Shmuratko, but Kyrylo has made a lot of improvement and I hope I can see him in Milan.

 

[Rukia]

i'll be honest i started zoning out like 40 seconds in

 

[skateboy]

Demirboga skating to some... quirky music.

 

[Karen-W]

This music is awful. The repetitiveness of it nearly lulled me to sleep.

 

[skatingguy]

Burak Demirboga
Coach: Rana Belkis Gocmen
Music: La Trompetas by Auto Beats

3A - step out
3Lz+3T
Flying Camel Spin 3
3F
Step Sequence 2
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 - positions were poor
Change Foot Sit Spin 3

Not a lot of connection to the music, and the energy level of the performance dropped considerably in the second half of the program.

61.02 = 8th Place

 

[CantALoop]

I actually sort of liked that overall, although I think Burak could use an acting coach for his presentation because his face was pretty throughout

 

[tony]

Hood idea straight out of Metelkina's choreography.

 

[alj5]

Demirboga - while watching the slo-mo I saw he has amazing jump-face. He kind of reminds me of Elvis Stojko with both the audience/judge flirting and solid (yet unrefined) skating skills.

 

[tony]

Both Burak and Semen, the spins are atrocious. Losing big points on every single one. Burak especially has been competing way too long to not try to step them up.

 

[Rukia]

only one green blob rip

 

[skatingguy]

Semen Daniliants
Coach: Alexander Volkov, Marine Dagenais
Music: Vreir Astuahs by A. Meschian

4T
3A - landed in a crouch, step out
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (4 after review)
3Lz+3T
Flying Sit Spin 3
Change Foot Camel Spin 3
Step Sequence 2

That was a very frenetic, and sloppy performance.

63.59 = 7th Place

 

[CantALoop]

Hood idea straight out of Metelkina's choreography.

That was the only most interesting part of the program.

All that meandering for level 2 footwork and negative GOE

 

[tony]

That was the only most interesting part of the program.

All that meandering for level 2 footwork and negative GOE

I one up you to this: That was the only most interesting part of the program.

 

[alj5]

Daniliants - was not expecting the decent quad attempt. Really enjoyed that the choreography matched the music well. Seemed rushed and messy.
