GPdF 2025 PBP - Men FS: “When the Cock crows who will rule the Roost (er)?”

[Private Citizen]

Frangipani giving us a very long four minutes.

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Custard man - it's better not to imitate the Corleone family's victims when skating to The Godfather.

 

[Skaterbob]

Do we have any clue how Italy is going to determine their two men spots?

 

[Wyliefan]

That was the most awkward rest break I've ever seen.

 

[her grace]

Frangipani

4t-2a, 4t looked under, 4s fall, typical men’s program skating back and forth jumping, struggling some on later jumps, too messy to really evaluate the presentation

 

[tony]

Do we have any clue how Italy is going to determine their two men spots?

They have a document that outlines how they will do it. Scores are a big part but they also want skaters who can land two quads in the short which very heavily points to benefitting Grassl in case a panel does finally come down hard on him.

 

[Kateri]

Yes, but you need a logic/maths degree to understand it. @Karen-W might have the best idea??

[peibeck]

Frangi seems totally out of condition. Probably been into @AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) 's peanut butter cup stash.

That was painful to watch. Even the spins crawled.

 

[peibeck]

Frangipani should ermmm... not wear red pants under the costume. They are a bit too visible

That was the only interesting thing in the program though.

 

[her grace]

Long wait for his score

 

[peibeck]

Frangi getting 7's in skating skills is... generous after that mess.

 

[Kaz7714]

Arg, this is not going well ....

 

[Wyliefan]

So many voiceovers this morning. So. Many.

 

[tony]

This is a repeat program but it kinda gives me Joubert Inception vibes when he had that program very briefly. I like his skating a whole lot but the loose jump technique and the medicore spins means he's almost never getting GOE.

That said, the change direction camel shows up here and it should get a lot more GOE than the +1 and some change that it gets.

 

[YukiNieve]

Another voice over.

One. Is. Too. Many.

Economides

Very French to start, ticking movements, 3a-2t, 2s loose in air—bailed on quad attempt, continued troubles with jumps

Too bad about the quadruple Salchow attempt, but otherwise not a terrible skate for Luc.

Another voice over.

female voice did not convince me that she was raging against the dying of the night lol

 

[Kateri]

Another voice over.

Just wait for Ilya...

 

[peibeck]

Economides is exciting if always on the verge of being out of control. One of the best "Interstellar" programs we've ever seen.

 

[Wyliefan]

Just wait for Ilya...

I know.

 

[MsZem]

This is a repeat program but it kinda gives me Joubert Inception vibes when he had that program very briefly.

I could actually do with some Joubert-like programs at this point.

Don't judge.

 

[Skaterbob]

Seeing Max's camel position makes me happy every single time.

 

[thvu]

Maxim only skates to warhorses I guess.

 

[TAHbKA]

Naumov couldnt land anything in the practice and crashed into the border during the warm up attempting a 4s. Well done delivering when it matters

 

[tony]

Maxim only skates to warhorses I guess.

And in the thousand iterations we've seen since fall 2018, I don't think anyone comes close to touching Aymoz's version.

His hard thumpy landings on every single jump are really evident this performance.
