2023 Nepela Memorial - Men's SP & FS

[PRlady]

Did not see that coming.

 

[Karen-W]

Junhwan just handed Nika the win on a platter

wtf was that?

Well, now, let's see what Nika does... Crossing my fingers for another Frangi unexpected Challenger win this season!

 

[Hedwig]

please skategods, let Frangi have done enough

the insult of the huge sigh in the announcer-lady-voice when he came on the ice is enough - he should win, okay?

 

[airgelaal]

Total meltdown by Cha. Did the men all party too hard last night?

They were shocked by the Georgian scores. in vino veritas, you know

 

[PRlady]

Cha only had 4 points on Mark in the short. Could he fall off podium entirely?

Easily! And he did

 

[rfisher]

At least he gets an arm full of toys to take home since he left his medal in Slovakia.

with that skate? That was French men headcase meltdown worthy

 

[Karen-W]

Or Italian man...

 

[Holy Headband]

Remember when I said yesterday Cha is a new man now because he medalled at Worlds and he gives off such a steady aura

 

[Karen-W]

Please let that be enough to drop Egadze below Frangi - if only for the sin of Moulin Rouge...

 

[bladesofgorey]

Take that Deniss

 

[airgelaal]

His skating skills are so... georgian...

 

[Holy Headband]

Can't tell if my stream is transmitting at 2 fps or that's just camp Eteri's signature choreo.

 

[Karen-W]

His skating skills are so... georgian...

It's gonna be close... Let's see what the tech panel and judges do...

 

[Hedwig]

Remember when I said yesterday Cha is a new man now because he medalled at Worlds and gives off such a steady aura

and you couldn't have shut up because???

 

[PRlady]

The only thing I can say for him is at least he’s an actual Georgian.

 

[rfisher]

Well that was a most uninspiring FS by pretty much all of them.

 

[Belsornia]

Got to say, the shirt ripping doesn't have the same impact second time around.

 

[Hedwig]

The only thing I can say for him is at least he’s an actual Georgian.

I have nothing against this kid, per se - but noodle sister and all that....

 

[airgelaal]

SECOND!!!

 

[Karen-W]

And the noodles look worse every year.

 

[Holy Headband]

lmaoooooooo and he has the nerve to look heartbroken over silver?

 

[Hedwig]

who has just joined me in the collective sigh-of-relief-scream-of-joy?

 

[Hedwig]

lmaoooooooo and he has the nerve to look heartbroken over silver?

to be fair, he probably knew what Junhwan just threw on the ice.

 

[Karen-W]

to be fair, he probably knew what Junhwan just threw on the ice.

Not to mention Deniss right before that.

 

[rfisher]

lmaoooooooo and he has the nerve to look heartbroken over silver?

Well, the silver medalist is always pissed. Bronze is usually just happy to be there, but losing by .61 of a point would make me heartbroken. And pissed off at myself.
