2025 Skate Canada Mens SP PBP - The Nightmare Before Quads Miss

[floridaice]

I needed two almond joy minis to get through Roman. The rest of my guys better have great skates.

 

[Jay42]

I think Roman looked pretty good outside of the combo. I do hope he can keep it together later on just to increase his odds of being the one named to the Olympic team.

I'm really in the anybody but Keegan camp so I will take Roman or Gogolev.

 

[Sally1214]

Tracy Wainman is looking more and more like Darlene on The Connors every time I see her.

 

[Matryeshka]

Going down on the combo but getting the axel so right is the most Canadian thing ever

 

[genevieve]

I am here for this RD

 

[ilovesalchows]

Who’s hitting the lanes after the event with Samoilov?

 

[tony]

Maybe the first and only acceptable cartwheel.

Amazing basics for Samoilov but it's usually the opposite with the program choreography.

 

[aemeraldrainc]

Carry the what? Shirt looks more 50s than 80s tbh.
90s* lol

 

[my little pony]

is Vladimir doing the RD in case anyone is scouting male dancers? can I get a Rachmaninov program up in here?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

"I've got the power" is probably what Shawn Rettstatt says to himself every morning.

 

[peibeck]

Samoilov wearing a bowling shirt and borrowed a 90s RD CD.

 

[tony]

Like 90% of his skating is so good- the stretched position on the camel spins, the landing runouts, the position in the air of the jumps, the flow, the ease of movement from head to toe. But he still ends up more showing and leaves out choreography that he could probably do in his sleep.

SS mark should be HIGH.

 

[beepbeep]

And Samoilov delivers the Snap! I’ve been begging the ice dancers for

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

SS mark should be HIGH.

But you know it won't be.

 

[genevieve]

well, that was better than many of the RDs but egads talk about some sub-Naumov performance (although Naumov has improved his performance this season!)

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Samoilov’s shirt has some writing on the sleeve couldn’t tell if it was custom embroidery or a brand name off the store rack lol.

First time seeing him live and he skates fast, the cartwheels were surprisingly good.

Vladimir came all the way to Saskatoon to recruit for his bowling league. Some good stuff in there, but not as strong technically as Gogolev, or the skating quality of Sadovsky.

80.75 = 3rd Place

 

[Messalina]

One has to make room for extended finger pointing

 

[Matryeshka]

I do love me an ironic 90s bowling shirt to random 90s rap. That is classic OES material right there.

 

[tony]

Basically the same SK score as Gogolev. Junk.

 

[genevieve]

oh bless Tomoki with this arena rock program and sparkly motorcycle vest

 

[Jay42]

I feel like Free Bird should play well in Saskatoon

 

[tony]

All the jumps need looked at, but I will say the 4T looks so much better this year. 3T I really doubt was around.

Presentation has really stepped up, too. Spins are trash, skating skills are better.

 

[floridaice]

Tomoki

 

[ilovesalchows]

Tompkins wants to go to Milan


I was going to fix it, but this just may be my pet name for him now.

 

[Karen-W]

Another day, another great skate from Tomoki! Jimmy & Andrew better bring it next week.

Change Foot Combo Spin 3 - loss of speed

Someone get him to a spin doctor now, because everything else is working so well.

84.32 = 2nd Place

 

[Skaterbob]

Tomoki can we take down the energy on the footwork -.5 and put that into the last two spins because it makes the whole program finish like a dud.

 

[her grace]

Hiwatashi coming on strong this season, and he looks like he’s having fun skating and performing!

 

[Citlali]

Tomoki has definitely improved in presentation, that was
