2025 Skate America Mens Free - Pope Dies Last

[just tuned in]

Also, no fake blood stain dripping from his eye.

It wasn't "blood" -- it was sad clown makeup.

 

[~tapdancer~]

For those at home, is this on NBC? Because they are 100% going to run out of time with the delay earlier.

It's on E!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Man, this audience loves to happy clap.

 

[Wyliefan]

Good fight, Nik.

 

[Citlali]

Come on Nikolaj convince Shaheyar not to kill you!

This Scheherazade survival is not looking good

 

[Braulio]

Memola and his warhorses

I feel like he went to google and typed in “Michele Kwan programs that became warhorses.”

He better stay away from Lyra Angelica and Dream of Desdemona, he could never!!!

It wasn't "blood" -- it was sad clown makeup.

Yes, I'm aware. I was just riffing off what other posters were saying during his actual skate. But, you stay busy correcting me.

Also, no fake blood stain dripping from his eye.

Yes, he had a very productive last 20 minutes -- changing his shirt, taking off his makeup, and growing 10 cm.

I'm grateful for the awful sound mix on Peacock that drowns out a lot of T&J's inanities.

Lolll

I mean, tell me I’m wrong?

What a difference between him and LaNaGu

 

[Theatregirl1122]

My mom has started planning our summer trip to the Baltic during this group.

I can’t blame her. And I think we might go to a pool in Helsinki.

He looks less like a sadistic, wife-killing Arabian king and more like a Slavic peasant wearing his Sunday best.

At a one point, he looked less like Scheherazade and more like a Slavic peasant wearing his Sunday best.

Always going to difficult for Nikolaj to keep up with the faster sections of music in this program. If he could really improve the basic skating skills he could really take advantage of his length, and stretch, but it always appears as though he's a moment to late.

155.41 = 1st Place
231.02 = 1st Place

Why would you purposely post misinformation?

 

[tony]

Btw Nikolaj could basically be a very tall Rippon circa 2013

 

[slicekw]

This Joker program is all kinds of insanity.

 

[canbelto]

That looks like a Halloween costume.

 

[LilJen]

Aaaaand now we have bloody Azerbaijan. Is he going to portray the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh?

 

[tony]

Don’t know if it was heard on tv but the opening smoking choreo got SCREAMS from Rippon and Hughes

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

This first group has gone on so long I'm sure we could have had at least 3 news popes in the interim.

I'm grateful for the awful sound mix on Peacock that drowns out a lot of T&J's inanities.

My partner and I have been saying exactly this! We wondered if someone was doing it on purpose for that reason!

 

[Wyliefan]

If my program started with Looney Tunes music, I couldn't keep a straight face.

 

[Spikefan]

The Smoker’s Rights program.

 

[Braulio]

Btw Nikolaj could basically be a very tall Rippon circa 2013

Rippon just behind you seatting, wait for Memola to later sit with Corey and keep watching what happens if Adam and Memola look at each other, prepare your phone camera!

 

[~tapdancer~]

Another blood-soaked skater, lol

I am liking this.

 

[beepbeep]

Wrong post

 

[canbelto]

This is weird. It's like Joker does easy listening radio.

 

[LilJen]

Lotta crossovers. A LOT of crossovers.

And throwaway armography.

So of course he can land the jumps. He’s doing nothing apart from stroking and crossovers.

 

[Matryeshka]

Why would you purposely post misinformation?

I'm pretty sure it could also be interpreted as blood, as the character he's portraying brutally stabs his wife and her lover during a performance.

Litvintsev makes me happy, even though I do actually hate the Joker.

 

[skategal]

This is definitely a vibe.
