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

[peibeck]

No skating at home and clean PCS boost.

 

[Karen-W]

Someone please explain to me why Canada is wasting SCI host spots on chronically injured under-performers instead of giving a guy like Newnham a chance?

 

[Rukia]

I really really like Newnham even with his issues

Matthew Newnham

1A+Eu+3S
3F+3T
3Lz
3Lo+2A seq
3F stepout
3Lo hand down
2A

Revelation in the short is quite right. His skating is great! Ravi continues to do great things and the skaters don't flock to him, I don't get it.

Second Oblivion program of the day. Nice moments, beautiful spiral x2. But nothing will ever match Fadeev's program to this music IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Ha5tMYuJk for later viewing.

He's not getting the minimum.

I have a soft spot for Gingers and this guy is interesting.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh no, so he didn't get the TES he needed? Sniff ....

I still wish Madi Schizas had gone to Ravi. I think she could have done really well with him.

Well, it doesn't look like Newnham is going to get the CTES min for Worlds. Shame about the 3a elegant pop - that's what the difference will be.

Congratulations Roman on your Worlds assignment, I guess.

 

[peibeck]

Too bad the jumps are all over the board, as there is much to like in Newnham's skating.

+3 GOE to Newnham for using his own water bottle instead of a plastic one

+5*. It's 2025 dear.

 

[tony]

I wish Shaidorov would just go for both the 3A+4T and 3A+Eu+4S

 

[Hedwig]

His lines are gorgeous

especially in the jumps. That really stands out to me how straight and good his air position is. He should be able to do even harder jumps with this kind of good technique.

 

[Karen-W]

Kao has a new costume... Someone explain to me why he has a new costume for his last competition of the season...

wait, I thought it went from 5 to 3?

sigh. I'm from the US; I resist judging changes

 

[Karen-W]

Is it me or have the chiffon strips hanging off Junhwan's shirt multiplied in the last week alone?!

It went from 3 to 5 in 2018/19

 

[peibeck]

No matter what happens on the ice, Shaidorov's "Moonlight Sonata/Take On Me" mash-up will never be gold medal material.

That is all.

 

[Sally1214]

OK, I'm in this to the finish. I won't get to bed until 4am BUT I can't leave now. Family brunch (prepared by me) is cancelled for tomorrow, so I can sleep in. I'll just leave a note on the dresser mirror "DO NOT WAKE ME!" for hubby and he wouldn't DARE!! So, I should still have time to see the FD tomorrow and then get ready to go out for a night of card-playing with friends in the evening. I wish I could be here to watch the Women's FS live with you all tomorrow night (it even starts at a decent time here) but, alas, it wasn't meant to be. I guess friends are more important ... but I'd just love to have my cake and eat it too, ya know?

That's the Before Times. I blame covid.

Well, the card-playing can't go all night, so maybe you'll be home in time for the last two groups of the women?

 

[tony]

The audience really has packed in there in the last hour

I'm hoping to make it home for the final group (starts just after 1am here) and that's usually about the time we get home. Fingers crossed.

Cha's scarf is a Jayne Mansfield moment waiting to happen.

Are you implying that Korean skating fans are like Fanyus?

 

[genevieve]

Red bits in costume
Red blobs to start

I AM SAYIN’

Isadora Duncan?

Oh, no. It is EPIC!
