2024 Finlandia Trophy Mens SP PBP - Kumbaya, My Quad, Kumbaya

[MacMadame]

2-3 to start the comp how classic

Hey, it's not an invalid element at least.

 

[tony]

2Lz+3T probably short, 3A<<, 3F all twisted on the landing

Very strange hunched and bent positions going into the jumps and even out of the flip. But I did like how even with the 2+3 combo, he landed and really held the landing rather than transitioning into twizzles or a spread eagle or some ugly slide move.

 

[Matryeshka]

Me, scheduled tests in all but one of my classes? And skating is on at the same time? WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!!

 

[MacMadame]

Heart hands!

Those gloves though

 

[genevieve]

loootz!

Lay My Body Down is a choice in skating

 

[tony]

loootz!

Lay My Body Down is a choice in skating

He's tired after all these years.

 

[genevieve]

trouble...I'm in trouble as he flips out of the landing. Oh, Valter

 

[MacMadame]

What kind of doctor is he? And he has a PhD too!

 

[tony]

Meh, no combo, major loss of points. and he opts for 3T+3T as it is.

 

[Sally1214]

A few glitches for Mahar but, oh well.
I have a bright-eyed and very cheery (and talkative) furnace repair technician here today. Things could get a bit noisy during repairs (hope there are no oil fumes) and I may have to move upstairs with my laptop for awhile. But .... when it comes to being in my very favorite spot for watching skating or having heat .... I'll opt for heat.

Nice of both Finns to mess up to keep their internal competition even

 

[tony]

That blade-hold transition was neat, could've been even better if he did more than a half rotation or whatever it was. And I know the choreography on the step gets close to the boards, but I think he unintentionally ran right into the board this time.

I’m jealous of your heat! I have the windows open to try & air out a mold issue in my kitchen, so I’m huddled under blankets

 

[MacMadame]

My dog keeps demanding I feed him. Dude, you don't get fed for another two hours!

I think I prefer Makar

 

[genevieve]

I liked the dramatik pass by the judges. Did he touch the board though?

Valter looks how I feel right now

Oh, no. That's not good. Hopefully, things air out soon. (((hugs)))

 

[Rukia]

good try Dr V you've got a lot going on buddy

 

[genevieve]

time violation is just rude at that point

 

[MacMadame]

His program content is very 90s Ladies.

Also, it's minimal but it is whickety-whack (the Polish dude, not Makar)

 

[Karen-W]

My dog keeps demanding I feed him. Dude, you don't get fed for another two hours!

Bandit's harassing me. I think she needs food, but she's gonna have to wait until the men are done. I've given her a cheese offering to temporarily sate her.

 

[tony]

This guy is wildly inconsistent, too. Final group at Euros one year and then 21st in the LP.

But the jumps are huge when he's on.

 

[genevieve]

that fringe!

I def did not see this program last season, glad he kept it. now I want to watch the video

 

[TAHbKA]

Samoilov's jumps are so high he seems to have no control over what happens in the air. A programme from last year, one would think he'd figure it by now

I gave mine his 'old-dog' chew.

Big up in tech with SAMOILOV but the fall on the 3x is unfortunate

ETA spoke too soon with the 2-3

 

[Rukia]

2-3 again!!! Dr V just didn't know this was the combo to do I guess

 

[tony]

With that technique, he will never figure it out

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Rockafeller Skank!

 

[MacMadame]

They play this part of his music all the time on the radio station I listen to. He's really getting into it too.

 

[Karen-W]

Also, it's minimal but it is whickety-whack (the Polish dude, not Makar)

Oh, it totally counts! I remember this shirt from last season and part of the mystique of whickety-whack is the absolute unnecessity of it. There's no reason for these random strings hanging off his shirt. Like, if you want fringe, go full out rather than half-assing it.

 

[Rukia]

this is one of the few programs that a random cartwheel makes sense actually
