[Wyliefan]

A full-on tux for The Godfather. I like it.

 

[Hanna]

It's been a long time since I've heard someone skate to the Godfather! I'm just realizing I've missed it!

 

[Wyliefan]

Our Jersey girl Isabeau ought to skate to it someday. Has a girl ever skated to The Godfather?

 

[Hanna]

Wheeeeee more emo versions of What a Wonderful World! My guilty pleasure!

 

[JoannaLouise]

I love the Evil Vampire vibes of this red and black tux on the Georgian kid!

I love the Evil Vampire vibes of this red and black tux on the Georgian kid!

And then there's the heavy breathing in the music!!

 

[mpal2]

Heavy breathing voiceovers is a choice.

 

[airgelaal]

I love the Evil Vampire vibes of this red and black tux on the Georgian kid!

I associate this music with Plushenko. Evil Vampire? Hm...

 

[Hanna]

Awwww the Georgian kid is adorable. And good job with the skating, too!

 

[Hanna]

Miura's speed into the jumps is ! I feel like he would probably have a bit more control with just a little less speed.

 

[Wyliefan]

Kao's pretty hit and miss today. I just hope he doesn't aggravate whatever injury he's got.

 

[Karen-W]

Kao's pretty hit and miss today. I just hope he doesn't aggravate whatever injury he's got.

Yes, it feels like it was a mistake on the part of both his coaching team and the JSF to let him compete here after he WD from Worlds.

 

[airgelaal]

The Phantom of the Opera

 

[Karen-W]

I have a very obnoxious cat meowing and purring at me in an attempt to climb on my lap because she thinks she needs attention. I suppose I can accommodate her during this warm up group, lol.

[Karen-W]

Interesting... So, Lev Vinokur was born in Moscow and his coach is listed as Davydov on his ISU bio, but the announcer just said he's training at Montclair State in NJ - sounds like the Israeli fed were able to get him out of Russia, which is good, but I hope his parents and family were also able to leave.

 

[Wyliefan]

Appleby holds the new record for smallest single toe loop. Kid was going to get some combos out if it killed him. I like him, but it just wasn't his day.

 

[Karen-W]

These guys in this 2nd group are going to get passed by Miura, Kovar and Cha, I think... Levandi is the only one who I think might finish the FS still ahead of those three. Vinokur might too, but I'm less convinced of that possibility for him than I am for Levandi. ETA - and of course, Spinar proves me wrong by just eeking into 2nd by .01!

 

[JoannaLouise]

It's about time we had a "Feeling Good" program - this competition's Michael Bublé content has been far lower than average!

 

[Karen-W]

LOLOL! Hagara did eschew the typical sweater vest costume that we usually see with this music, so there is that. It's been so long since I've seen Chiu that I can't recall what his FS costume looks like this season, and I haven't seen Gogolev all season, so there's still hope!

 

[JoannaLouise]

I missed seeing Zich in the SP, so this is my first time watching him. He really gets great height on his 3f and 3lz!

I also appreciate that he lists "magic tricks" as one of his hobbies on his ISU bio.

 

[Enchanted]

There’s been a lot of odd music choices. I don’t get how, for example Kovar and Spinar can listen to their music daily.

 

[Karen-W]

I liked that from Zich! He doesn't have the hardest tech but everything he did was super-nice quality, and he has a good sense of musicality already.

 

[Colonel Green]

Solid jumps from Raffaele.

 

[Hanna]

Zich is truly the new find of these Championships! He's extremely watchable, wonderful, pleasant lines - great quality!

 

[Sylvia]

Zich was born in Hanoi! Just looked it up - Vietnam has been an ISU Figure Skating Member since 2019.

Go Arlet!!

Interesting... So, Lev Vinokur was born in Moscow and his coach is listed as Davydov on his ISU bio, but the announcer just said he's training at Montclair State in NJ

I thought I recognized Daniel Raad (coaches at that rink in NJ) in the kiss & cry after Vinokur's SP.

Spinar has some potential but it's too bad Pitot DNQ and France will lose their 2nd men's spot next year.

 

[Hanna]

Arlet - so sloppy yet such an engaging performer.

The junior version of the program was missing my fave part where he does a slow bracket right on the beat of the music. But the step sequence at the end was still great!
