2024 Grand Prix Final - Men FS: “Don’t Cry For Me Malanin(a)”

[LilJen]

I wonder what Spider-Man aka Tom Holland aka the original Billy Elliott would think of this.

 

[Private Citizen]

Ugh Grassl’s telegraphing. The hook on the loop is super obvious in real time. Clear < if not worse

 

[Karen-W]

Wait? Musical Soundtrack? BINGO

Which costume from the FD or the Men's FS are you burning?

 

[tony]

4Lz(review it), 4Lo(review it, <), 4S looked ok, 3A+3T, 3A+2A+2A, 3Lo+3T, 3Lz

Jumps didn't look that bad this time around. Loop for sure under, it's going to be every time.

But PCS should look more like: 8.00 / 8.25 / 7.50

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I think Daniel just watched Billy Elliott to the point when he still didn't know how to dance. It's rather boring and weird. Watching this program is like watching Grassl grow.

 

[MsZem]

Does Grassl need the voiceover to remind him of the choreo?

 

[Rukia]

every time he says he's doing it for the haters he means me

 

[peibeck]

Grassl: Not since Plushenko's Najinsky program has there been such a disconnect with skater and ballet voids.

 

[Karen-W]

How can we NOT laugh when he can't even be half-arsed enough to lift his leg as high as his hip right on the "lift the leg" lyric?

 

[Allen]

When I see Grassl, I think of Tim Gunn calling a model an "elongated marshmallow."

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

So what kind of grass(l) was smoked before suggesting that Daniel skate to a ballet-themed program?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

This program is going to win Europeans

Stop burning people's costumes! They did it to Paul, and now he has a huge hole in his jacket!

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Danill such a snooze. The old back and forth jump choreo.

 

[slicekw]

Bingo costume is whichever you imagine - anything Ilia wore this weekend. As egregious as the Daisy Dukes/Diaper and chaps was, this new free costume makes me want to just tear stuff off, like in the Toe Pick Movie.

the weird part is he actually did it well in the short lol i understand nothing about this skater

also that sal is maybe the only jump so far I think should have pos goe

 

[Aceon6]

No matter where Grassl skates in Boston, he’s my bathroom break. I hope I’m not sitting next to any team folks as I rush to get in line.

 

[canbelto]

I just don't think he has the personality for this sort of program. A team like V/M could have made a program like this fire.

 

[MacMadame]

As much as I hate this program, I do think this is the best he's presented it all season. He seems really into it today. And even occasionally balletic in parts.

 

[slicekw]

Danill such a snooze. The old back and forth jump choreo.

Right? How can you make Billy Elliot boring?

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Grassl’s Swan Lake pose is Gracie Gold egg squat level cringe.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Everybody can see what they want, I don’t mind this program

 

[MsZem]

This program is going to win Europeans

 

[BittyBug]

Jumps currently being reviewed "abundantly"

 

[Citlali]

Poor Daniel going without costume because he sold it for the

Oh, is Billy Elliot I get it... Did Billy dance with the help of strawberry dessert

 

[Rukia]

Grassl’s Swan Lake pose is Gracie Gold egg squat level cringe.

gracie laying an egg was iconic this is just mess

 

[MsZem]

Right? How can you make Billy Elliot boring?

No electricity...

 

[tangerine dream]

Seven jumps under review...

 

[Sally1214]

Daniel had an ON day! Oh yes, there were rotation issues with the quads but he did a LOT of things very well. Good job.

eta: I thought for sure he was going to hit the boards on at least 1 of his jumps.

 

[tony]

Seven jumps under review...

Seven elements.
