I can appreciate a good pornstache myself (not that I would admit it under my real name...), but that is NOT a good example, I'm sorry. It's both ratty and poorly shaped, and the chin hairs further detract from the overall effect.

See, if I was Daniel Grassl and someone forced me at gunpoint to get a Billy Elliot FS, I would try to construct it such that my glaring unsuitability for anything involving ballet was NOT showcased in every single movement. And the story of Billy Elliot actually lends itself to dynamic and...

I think two days of Stephane invading my personal bubble in every single interaction and delivering his psychobabble pep talks directly to my nose hairs would be enough for me to switch coaches, but maybe that's just me...

OK, seriously, is Deniss paying Chris to boost him so relentlessly? Chris's rapturous groan when Deniss landed his quad woke me up as I was starting to doze off in front of my laptop...

I like Hagara's commitment to executing the most difficult transitions in and out of jumps in the men's field despite it seemingly never affecting his GOEs.

This is not helping my campaign to push Mikhail as the no. 1 Selevko...

Samoilov's landings are ugly in such a unique way. Everything else is typical copy-and-paste OES rent-a-Russian.

My most boomer take is that indulging in histrionic weeping and celebrations after your skate is only permissible past a certain proficiency threshold... Road Runner here should cool it IMO.

It's past midnight here and I'm wondering why I'm even awake at this hour, which is exactly how I felt as a kid when my parents would drag me to a smoke-filled restaurant to hang out with their friends and ignore me when I started whining that I was sleepy and cold and wanted to go home around...

I love Alysa’s energy and spins. Not sure she should go into first, but I won’t be mad if she does.

Mone is a great talent, but why does it feel like I just watched this program five minutes ago? I almost miss the Russians with their tasteless musical choices, which were at least interesting…

The final spin was quite pretty… Isabeau’s skating is full of pretty details, but it just doesn’t grab me as a whole. I think it’s the knees. And the jumps. I’m a sucker for flow and smoothness, I guess.

That combo was so hideous the fall came as a relief.

That was great, give her all the points.

Now, in a just world (or somewhere other than Boston)... but anyway. It's the skating that counts!
