Earlier this week I posted a New Zealand article & news report on Yanhao/Dwayne in the AUS/NZL thread in GSD if you'd like to check them out (posts #24 & 25): https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...land-figure-skating-news.111595/#post-6696629

Make that two

Filip Stiller (I've already posted a tribute to him this week.. check it out) was in charge last season at Worlds for the women's event, and Sakamoto got a full 'e' call there in the LP. I suspect (and hope) a very reality-based protocol for the mens events here.

The introductions are complete and warm-up has begun

 

[Rukia]

this is a fun field!

This is everyone here’s first JGPF except Nakata who is the defending champion.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I loved Vaclavik's knee slide into the 3f!

 

[tony]

Rozanov bla bla, this is a fantastically choreographed program. I think he's quite a bit better than his countrymate.

Really fabulous pattern into and out of the Axel especially, and the flip!

 

[Karen-W]

Sorry I was running a bit late this morning with the bingo cards - I overslept a bit and was recording the last 3 FDs from Golden Spin (missed Neset/Markelov, will have to capture them later), but make sure to mark off nude gloves since Lukas is definitely sporting a pair, lol.

 

[Rukia]

THAT WAS MOZART

in case you didn't know

 

[Aceon6]

I see that we are back to invalid elements when the callers are slow.

 

[Hedwig]

FIrst skater out
it is really interesting to have Juniors and Seniors back to back and see the differences especially in speed
3axel, nice
great transition into 3flip out of a sliding knee movement!
I think the classical music is still a bit of stretch for him but really good effort and learning!
3z 3t
lets loose more after the combo
oh sit spin does not count ? MIssed the problem

and ss only level 2!

 

[JoannaLouise]

THAT WAS MOZART

in case you didn't know

Lol he was so ahead of his time with the techno pop. A true visionary.

 

[her grace]

Vaclavik

Nice opening skate, good 3a, Aliev-esque entrance into 3f, back sit spin position was weak and maybe lost the spin’s value

 

[tony]

Change sit, I don't think he got 5 revs on the first half, so no level.

Going through and not sure yet.

 

[Karen-W]

I see that we are back to invalid elements when the callers are slow.

Apparently, not slow, but actually invalid - Ted's saying it's come in at 0 value.

Mark it off the bingo cards!

 

[Alilou]

THAT WAS MOZART

in case you didn't know

I actually laughed out loud!

 

[Aceon6]

Does Cha’s mama have a business making those shirts? I swear that the pattern should be worn out by now.

 

[4rkidz]

Change sit, I don't think he got 5 revs on the first half, so no level.

Going through and not sure yet.

Ohhh that’s why the women down from us was counting! I really enjoyed his skate

 

[Rukia]

Seo manages to somehow have stiff knees and flow between jumps in the combo which is witchcraft

 

[tony]

I think I figured it out with Lukas. His first half of his spin was really rushed and it took him a second to get down into the position. I think a stickler panel would consider he didn't get 2 revs in that basic position to start, and that would give the element no value.

But even so, I don't know if that's right.

ETA- the spins only need 3 revs before and after change of foot each to get credit, so my first guess about 5 revs is not right, would just take down the level.

 

[4rkidz]

Shame about Seo, he has amazing blade control

 

[Hedwig]

Minkyu Seo
Now Beethoven after Mozart

What next? Haydn?

fantastic glide

not a lot of transitions into the 3axel, though
3z3t fabulous length
3f fall and before that I thought that again the transitions into the jump were really lacking
and now behind the music
ah, he caught up with it

great skater all in all but even wo the fall still some areas where he needs to put in work

 

[Rukia]

that fw was so good

 

[floridaice]

Is Moonlight Sonata an Obvious Warhorse or a Tribute?
