2026 Worlds Mens FS PBP - You Will Score Something, But Not Nothing

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Is the pope a skating fan? Did he really invite Grassl to the Vatican?

A few indulgences will go a long way.

 

[my little pony]

of all the musics in the world, here we are

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

And this is why Andrew can never bag on Jason. Because while Jason’s artistry never fails, this guys technical usually does.

 

[slicekw]

Torgashev’s costume always looks like the Symbiote Spiderman.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That's so cool that the Pope invited Grassl


I didn't know the Pope was a fan of figure skating.

Or maybe of cute blond boys....

 

[Aceon6]

C’mon, Torgy. No more pops. Be kind to your teammate and deliver the rest of the program.

 

[Lizziebeth]

How can Torgy skate to that opening vocal every day? His rink mates must hate him.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Torgashov is sooooo tiring to watch.

And I wonder whether Sunches is bitter about the ruined ski vacation

 

[Matryeshka]

I'd really like to see Torgy continue to next year and get a program with decent music. I'm tired of boring, boring, borrriiinng, look here's this amazing step sequence out of nowhere! I can't see him staying in till 2030, but I'd like to see him stay in till he gets a program that satisfies me.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I still think USA will be safe for three because even Jacob can’t finish lower than 12th and so if Ilia wins there is your number.

 

[flyingsit]

This program a) doesn’t suit Torgashev and b) isn’t nearly strong enough for his ability.

 

[miffy]

He reminded me of Joubert in the SP but today Torgy reminds me of Yagudin. I could see him doing that choreo sequence

 

[ilovesalchows]

Torgy looks tired but he held it together

 

[YourBorneo]

Which Torgy showed up today?
The one without technique or the one without artistry?
Both, you say?

 

[Private Citizen]

Quite slow and cautious from Torgashev. The pop plus two passes with negative GoE do not bode well. I can’t see the tech tracker but I’d have Sanchez ahead in the free.

 

[victorskid]

Well, I'm pretty sure the Pope wasn't watching today as he is making a first-ever papal visit to Monaco

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I think even a mediocre Jason would’ve beaten this.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Some of the music choices in this event are making me nostalgic for the stirring movie soundtracks that many of the guys skated to in the 90s.

 

[my little pony]

is running and sliding truly one of the best choreo sequences ever mark or are you tired?

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Torgy didn't fall apart. It wasn't great but it was better than I expected given that this is Torgy we're talking about.

 

[slicekw]

Which Torgy showed up today?
The one without technique or the one without artistry?
Both, you say?

He really got into the “keep moving” cloud/fog and forgot to be present for each element. Not sure it was that bad, but once again, he missed having a great skate.

 

[peibeck]

Torgy needs to learn that saving so much energy for a low point element like the choreographic sequence could be better spent on getting higher points on his spins and slow leveled step sequence.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK Ilia just needs to podium.

 

[miffy]

Well, I'm pretty sure the Pope wasn't watching today as he is making a first-ever papal visit to Monaco

He can YouTube it later

 

[Firedancer]

It seemed a bit cautious. But so much better than last year. I really hope he continues

 

[JoannaLouise]

Torgashev's choreo sequence is awesome, but the rest of the program just feels like he's putting in time until he can get to that part. I want to see him perform the program the whole way through.

 

[VanillaIce]

Day 4 and I am reduced to watching with sound muted. There was a risk that if Tonia called one more element after the tech box score went up something would get thrown at the TV. There is plenty of scope for commentary and analysis during the replays. Commentary during the live performance is invasive and irritating and it is even worse if there is both music and lyrics. So come on Mark and Tonia let us watch the last flight in peace.

 

[Sally1214]

Yes, Andrew you darn well better get that jacket on. Lucky for you that Ryuichi Kihara isn't sitting beside you in the K/C ... he'd have you zipped up to the neck 5 minutes ago!!

 

[PRlady]

I think even a mediocre Jason would’ve beaten this.

You think Jason would have finished 10th with the way he was skating? He might not have even qualified for the long. Andrew did decently, much better than last year.

 

[Vagabond]

Well, I'm pretty sure the Pope wasn't watching today as he is making a first-ever papal visit to Monaco

Does Pope Bob prefer baccarat or roulette?
