GPdF 2025 PBP - Men SP: “Too Many Cocks Spoil The Bros”

[skatingguy]

Gabriele Frangipani
Coach: F. Mascarello, G. Cotugno, M. Guarnieri
Music: People Get Up and Drive, I Got Feel

4T+3T
4S< - two-foot landing, stumbled out
Flying Sit Spin 4
Change Foot Camel Spin 3 (4 after review)
1A* - timing was all wrong, invalid element
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 (3 after review)
Step Sequence 3

Skating to upbeat, fast music as a cover for sloppy skating, and lack of extension only works if the elements are clean.

71.81 = 6th Place

 

[Private Citizen]

I was shocked when he landed the 4T3T but then the rest of his program was much more like the warmup.


Lots of applause for the travelling Arabians. Shades of Elvis Stojko.

Maybe Torgashev won’t be last after all.

 

[genevieve]

This man is incapable of finding the beat in a freaking James Brown program! And what even is this shirt doing in this program?

thanks, I hate it

 

[Karen-W]

I was going to say Anthony Paradis, but I don't think Karen would take it well.

Did you miss my remark? I think he's seen every last costume Anthony Paradis & Douglas Gerber have come up with and told his designer "more".

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Please understand, I haven't seen Frangi before, this season. What the hell was that? THIS is your home Olympic place bid? After years if giving us bloody Boccelli, you pull THIS out?

Now that I think about it you’re not wrong. I mean the Olympics aren’t in Detroit or Nashville.

 

[thvu]

I love this program. So many skaters can't meet the mood and style of James Brown. Frangipani focuses it on fun and joy. This program would be so good if clean.

Sigh about the mistakes.

 

[Karen-W]

On the road but just saw first group results. The U.S. needs a high level negotiation with Italy and send them a men’s spot in exchange for a dance spot!

Italy only has 1 dance spot. I don't think they're giving it up, even for a 3rd men's spot, lol.

 

[Private Citizen]

Wow, is it that cold in the arena?

Yes.

Torgashev still last, sigh.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

71 is a Seasons best?

 

[genevieve]

Ahead of Torgy - rude

 

[SidelineSkater]

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) can console his guys at the bottom of the leaderboard.

 

[skateycat]

All I see is a blurry pan of the audience, oh wait, I think I saw a bit of the skater's head in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

And GRA in the upper right corner now is the only part of the screen I see of the kiss and cry,

(trying a reboot of the Peacock worked - I can see Kao now. So weird!)

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) can console his guys at the bottom of the leaderboard.

That irony was not lost on me hun.

 

[thvu]

I'm surprised Torgy is leading on Skating Skills and reached over 8. He definitely deserves to be 1st right now, but I'm surprised the judges have actually scored it that way.

 

[tony]

I think the 4T will get called to some degree of under. The blade definitely stuck and scraped on the landing.

I still love Kao's skating so much, but he's really gone a bit haywire since he's been dealing with injuries. He landed exactly nothing in practice at Skate America last year and then skated a clean competition.

 

[genevieve]

That program was a wild ride I was not expecting

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Woodkid works well for Kao, but he stares down on the ice too much. Don’t think he raised his chin and made eye contact with the judges once.

 

[Karen-W]

Hmmmmm... That wasn't terrible for Kao, but it was definitely a little rough.

 

[peibeck]

Miura looks like he's going to take ANL out to the woodshed and make him enjoy it.

Pretty rough skate, very messy.

 

[skatingguy]

Kao Miura
Coach: Noriko Sato, Nobuko Fukui, Koji Okajima
Music: Conquest of Spaces by Woodkid

4S+3T
3A< - hand down, step out
Flying Camel Spin 4
4Tq - just hanging on
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Sit Spin 4

Miura finding ways to lose points in new ways.

87.25 = 1st Place

 

[SidelineSkater]

Rink DJ playing Messy. Trolling the men’s comp?

 

[genevieve]

Even Miura doesn’t understand how he got in first with that

 

[npavel]

I would have Miura in 2nd, preferred TSUBOI

 

[genevieve]

Why this brown KMart leisure outfit for Egadze?

 

[NinjaTurtles]

FFSG prez’s duck quack phone alert going off before Nika starts

 

[Spikefan]

Costume, hair, medal goals all matching.

 

[tony]

RIGHT on the music with the 4S landing.

I don't care. I have a soft spot for Nika after seeing him watching allll the skating between Skate America and Worlds. He sat by himself even at Skate America (right in front of me) and was so into it. He's been Mr 4th place for so long, now's his time to step up. And he actually has reallllllly good foundations but they kinda disappear in the programs. This is a much better effort from him all-around. I actually REALLY liked it.

High 90's should be incoming. And that team medal is looking better and better for Georgia that I mentioned already two seasons ago.

 

[genevieve]

I like this program for Egadze but the pumpkin spice costume must go

 

[Kateri]

Costume, hair, medal goals all matching.

Maybe if he medals, they'll let him have some WD40 for those knees.

 

[peibeck]

Egadze is 23 and looks 37. Maybe Eteri could prescribe him some Rogaine?

Good jumps, but every movement looks so labored with him.
