2025 4CC - Men Free: “Crash landing on UR”

[tony]

Yu-Hsiang Li

3Lo
3S
4T looked good for his standards, still a bit short and I suspect <. Needs more oomph into it but he goes in very tentative on the three-turn
3F+2T
3F+2A+2A seq actually kept the flow very well
3Lz+3T very nice and he's HAPPY
3Lz

Nice skating, quad seems to be coming along even more now. No 3A, probably no chance at getting through the SP at Worlds but he could potentially be in the race in China.

 

[Rukia]

maybe i'm just a sucker for clean jumps and an ounce of emotion but i am fully invested let's goooooo

[genevieve]

really enjoying this from Li! I will even forgive the non-Beatles orchestrated Elanor Rigby.

And the enthusiasm during a serious program

Whee!

 

[misskarne]

Oh bless, he's crying! What a skate!

 

[peibeck]

Taipei's Li going to school the American boys.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was great! Terrific skating and he looked like he was having a blast!

 

[Karen-W]

Awwwww! The small-ish crowd is certainly appreciative of Li not menning!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

We're not casual fans if we're here on a figure skating message board on a Friday night watching a skating comp from Korea.

Hahahahah truth

Karen, I have so many snacks in the kitchen but I’m afraid to get them, because I’m just gonna fall asleep with them.

 

[Sally1214]

Awwww. Li's crying tears of joy. Moments like THIS are a large part of the reason I love this sport so much. Good for him!

 

[genevieve]

Does Li get to go to Worlds? If not, I'll be in Taipei that weekend, maybe we can hang out

 

[livetoskate]

Wow, Y.H. Li! Since when does a Taiwanese skater have a quad toe? He's really from Los Angeles, right? That was a big surprise!

 

[tony]

Does Li get to go to Worlds? If not, I'll be in Taipei that weekend, maybe we can hang out

Yes

 

[misskarne]

71.65 for Worlds - come on judges, give it to us!

 

[petro]

I mean, it’s literally two blocks down the street from me here off Santa Monica

We are literally neighbors! I live across the street from John Reed haha

 

[tony]

71.65 for Worlds - come on judges, give it to us!

Already has the mins.

 

[Karen-W]

Despite this awful awful music, he is going to have a nice high score, is he eligible for the senior Grand Prix

He's skating at 4CCs, so I'm not sure why you're asking if he's eligible for any other senior comps...

Yu-Hsiang Li

Nice skating, quad seems to be coming along even more now. No 3A, probably no chance at getting through the SP at Worlds but he could potentially be in the race in China.

Do you know something about China's plans to invade Taiwan that the rest of us don't? Because that's the only way he'd be in the race for anything in China...

 

[MacMadame]

off to a flyer/ the races

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

We are literally neighbors! I live across the street from John Reed haha

Oh my God, I am in John Reed every single day. I’m across the street from it as well, private message me, you are literally across the street from me.

 

[Citlali]

Camden

 

[genevieve]

New PB by like 25 pts??

 

[slicekw]

Oh my God I just don’t understand all of the skaters doing Eleanor Rigby, it is the most uninteresting music I may have ever heard. I feel like grumpy ANL is settling in tonight.

Eleanor Rigby is the height of emo in classic rock music. It’s kinda the OG.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Well, Mr. Nikodinov is his coach, so I guess he does live here, oh gosh here come the Americans

At the Olympic qualifier, Karen.

 

[Karen-W]

off to a flyer/ the races

But no 'clean as a whistle'. Hmph.

 

[MacMadame]

But no 'clean as a whistle'. Hmph.

I know. And it was.

 

[Karen-W]

"Unbelievable start" - I was going to ask if that counted for perfect/dream start, but then Camden elegant popped and I think Chris just meant it was unbelievable because of Camden's injury & the practice reports we got from @Ka3sha.

 

[Karen-W]

real courage!

 

[Wyliefan]

Ugh. I hate this music.

 

[MacMadame]

"Unbelievable start" - I was going to ask if that counted for perfect/dream start, but then Camden elegant popped and I think Chris just meant it was unbelievable because of Camden's injury & the practice reports we got from @Ka3sha.

It's hard to say. He'll say dream/perfect start again. At least 10x.
