2024 GPdF Mens FS PBP - More Than a Feeling (of D'ANGERS)

[livetoskate]

Mark H. mentioned that Adam S H F is competing with an injury. What is it, how did it happen?

I think he tore a ligament falling on a jump when practicing for a show in Japan.

A Frenchman skating to L’Matrix. L'imagination est incroyable!

Pitot’s better than his skating so far this season. I hope he continues to improve and make worlds, he’s one of the prettiest male skaters when he skates clean.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I see some gymnastics on ice

Mark still in awe of Memola's 6"4 height. Wasn't Lysacek just as tall?

Not that tall. There was a Russian pairs skater who was about that tall in the early 2000s, and this is super super useless random info but there was a French junior ice dancer named Mathieu Bremont who was also about that tall IIRC.

Tobel might have been just under that, don’t remember.

I thought Tobel was as tall, but wiki says 6’2”, same as Evan.

He said after the short that he had time off from
It, but it didn’t have anything to do with how he skated IIRC

 

[MacMadame]

This is a fair point - do we call it Tribute or Movie Warhorse?

There is other music in there not Matrix so it can be both

 

[genevieve]

Pitot looks totally gassed. I don't think this is a good program for him, even though the arrangement is softer than most skaters use.

 

[peibeck]

Pitot: I wonder if Ponsart used his CA connection to get this Adam Rippon-esque sheer blouse for his skater? Glad to see him stay upright (even if not clean) on the 4S. He seems delayed in this axel rotation, which could be part of his problem with that jump. He doesn't seem to relate with this music at all. very juniorish still.

 

[Matryeshka]

Is the Matrix France's answer to Michael Buble in Canada?

 

[Wyliefan]

I really like Pitot. Hope he can put it all together one of these days. Also, I'm not convinced he's not actually Michail Savitskiy moonlighting as a singles skater. Have we ever seen them in the same room together?

 

[Primorskaya]

I'd really enjoy Pitot if he stood up on his jumps. Nice quality of movement.

 

[Karen-W]

How about we say that people can mark off either Tribute or Movie Warhorse on their card, but they can't mark off both?

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Pitot is from Nice and has tried Joubert, Amodio, Ponsart. It’s time to do the coaching change in North America, unless he wants to give Lzmbiel a try.

 

[slicekw]

Do I start laundry when group 2 warms up, or do I wait til the men are done?

Is the Matrix France's answer to Michael Buble in Canada?

I think it was the answer before Feelin Good became a damn horrible international phenomenon.

Restencourt skated to Matrix in the short pretty sure.

 

[Sally1214]

But that is because they did not open enough concessions in the Scotiabank Centre

You certainly got that right. Hubby and I gave up on the concessions for Saturday. We packed a picnic basket and left it in the car. Between events (late afternoon), we left the arena, walked back to our car and ate in the car. When we got back to the arena, we hadn't missed any skating and the lineups for the concessions (even just for coffee) were STILL stretching on forever.

I like it.

Also Pitot did a quad so 1st 3x/quad counts too

Aymoz tribute incoming

 

[Rukia]

somehow i forgot camden was here since yesterday (I didn't watch warm-ups lol)

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I mean, if we're gonna watch someone not jump, I'd rather just watch Alex Johnson.

 

[Aceon6]

Do I start laundry when group 2 warms up, or do I wait til the men are done?

Start. The cycle will be done as the men finish. That’s my plan.

 

[Karen-W]

elegant pop!

Aymoz tribute incoming

And clarifying- not the skate but the music.

 

[genevieve]

M83 is a warhorse?

That 2T was never going anywhere, it was obvious before he ever got off the ice :/

No, definitely not.

Hard to believe Camden is only 24 - seems like he's been around forever.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Hard to believe Camden is only 24 - seems like he's been around forever.

It's because of all the boring music. It takes forever to sit through his programs.

 

[canbelto]

For whatever reason Camden reminds me of Fedor Andreev, who also popped jumps with elegance.
