2024 GPdF Mens SP PBP - La Vie en (Quad) Toes

[Sally1214]

Yup, 19th to 2nd for 3rd overall!

Twas an AMAZING comeback for sure .... one for the ages, one might say.

 

[jenny12]

I know there's a high possibility that Boyang will falter in the FS and not win this competition BUT I'm so very happy for him right now.

Yep! I’m just going to bask in the glow of today and not think about the free.

Aside from Boyang, the men were menning today.

“Break My Heart Again”

Apparently Jin should have saved this music for his FS

Tomorrow is going to be wild, y'all

 

[MacMadame]

We're getting there! It's a work in progress. Maybe take out the "Euler" step out for the SPs, though?

Yeah and a few others.

I also added Dune and Cedric Tour. Just because.

 

[kwanette]

Small medal in Worlds 7 seasons ago already.

I respect the diversity of his programs, but I'm more of a fan of the introspective, beautiful skating we saw in his LP last year. This is all over the place.

FS small medal in 2018..Sp small medal in 2022..

 

[tony]

FS small medal in 2018..Sp small medal in 2022..

Funny enough I was trying to remember if he had a second LP small medal and didn’t even think about the short.

 

[Karen-W]

Seems reasonable, lol.

I do think you should change it from "random tango section" to just "tango program".

Both times as a second alternate..I like a feisty boy!

Welp, no one got BINGO again. I am trying to make it easier but it's not working.

ETA here is the final list. Let me know if I missed something or if you did and got BINGO after all.


1st 3x/quad
Cartwheels
Coach cam
Costume change
Costume doesn’t match at all
Emo/ sad girl cover
Face touching
Fall on non-element
Hairography / armography
Invalid element
Majority in same color
Only one sleeve
Very literal costume
Warhorse - classical music
Pink Ladies!!

So can I ask… How do we play? Are we using actual cards?

There's an updated Bingo Card link in the Pairs SP pbp thread.

 

[rfisher]

You do realize he's coming off a summer injury, right?

No, but what was his excuse last season?

 

[TAHbKA]

Love does miracles - Selevko speaks English!

Yes, I just saw a moment ago and I made a post, this is really cool. What do we get if we win Karen? You know I’m a peanut butter cup junky

 

[Private Citizen]

Looks like Adam’s change foot sit didn’t count for some reason?

Memola’s problem spin also got no credit.

 

[Sylvia]

Love does miracles - Selevko speaks English!

I think he could already before dating his current girlfriend.

 

[Sally1214]

HAPPY COACH ALERT!!

 

[Sally1214]

OK .... I'm good with those placements and scores. And, hey .... shoutout to Lia and Trennt holding down 3rd place.

 

[Sally1214]

And, so ends day 1 of competition. My fave performances of the day: Boyang Jin and Minerva & Nikita and Amber Glenn.
See y'all for the free skates tomorrow.

 

[fan]

Why didn’t the chssp not count? Not low enough?

 

[sk9tingfan]

Love does miracles - Selevko speaks English!

He's dating Emily Chan.

Selevko's costume is basically a teenager whose mum has demanded he wear his nice shirt to the family dinner, but has been allowed to wear his favourite jeans as compromise.

Zoom call.

I thought Mark said he did a "quad taco" and I was all, sure why not

That's going to be Malinin's next move.

Pity about the 4Lz for Shaidarov. I have a soft spot for him, mostly because of my Urmanov fandom, but he's a good skater.

Is he the first Urmanov student who is almost as good looking as his coach at any age?

Merde from B E N O I T

Probably x2

I read that as "Merch from B E N O I T" and wondered if he was selling hoodies on the side...

 

[skateboy]

Thrilled for Boyang! And gutted that I can't see it.

I'll just have to wait until some kind soul posts it online without a geoblock.

It looked to me as though he didn’t go low enough - I noticed that oddly enough.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

without Tom Jones this song is trash

Wait, I have a question. Did you say this about Can't Take My Eyes Off of You?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Finally watched the whole SP. I'm choosing to assume that the judges scored Torgy's PCS so low bc they knew that, if he was leading, he would defs implode. Surely NOT being in medal position will help.

Believers gotta believe.

I’m not even a torgy Uber. Becoming a C/P Uber has just awakened my ability to bend reality with my mind.

Oh, I totally am with you. I'd rather Torgy not be in a medal position going into the FS. It's the same reason I'm happy that Sarah's in 4th after the SP.
