2025 Cranberry Cup International (August 7-10, 2025), Norwood, MA, USA

[Karen-W]

Jacob's got pink shredded bits hanging off his shirt on the diagonal. I don't know how I feel about this.

 

[Rukia]

i love sanchez

 

[Wyliefan]

Jacob! That was great!

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Wow Joseph looks much better - smoother, less effort.

 

[Karen-W]

i love sanchez

Same! This program really works for him and he's clearly well-trained for this early in the season.

 

[beckab81]

As long as the shreds help him skate well, he can keep the shirt. First not-clean skate though…

Sanchez

3f with Rippon arms, 3a, 3z-3t, think he can work more on making his back and neck looser and not as stiff. Good solid skate. Will need more technical content to make a mark in seniors.

 

[Debbie S]

Beautiful skating from Jacob but not sure how I feel about the vocals in his music. I guess it could be worse...

Shirt needs to go.

Wow, great score for him!

 

[Wyliefan]

Points for a nice simple song cover without moans or grunts or growls or disaster movie sound effects.

 

[Belsornia]

Is this a Ghost the Musical programme, or just a wrought Unchained Melody programme?

Kapeikis

3f with deep knee bend on landing to save, 3a fall, so more of his usual, 3z-3t, nice spread eagle and final spin

 

[beckab81]

Kapekis has such nice skating skills and knee movement, I wish he would change coaches to get more stability and potentially harder jumps.

 

[Debbie S]

So neither Romsky nor Gogolev wants the Olys spot.

Sadovsky

4s bobbly but landed, 3a, efficient use of stroking generating effortless speed, fall on first jump of combo. I'm ready for him to skate to Forrest Gump. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

 

[Karen-W]

Ah, Roman... One sketchy landing on the toepick, one solid 3A, and then the usual fall on the combo.

 

[Elisheba]

Sadovsky feels himself up, then falls.

 

[Elisheba]

Ok Donovan, please come through!

 

[Braulio]

Go Donovan!!!!!!!

 

[Braulio]

Program is the same formula that have worked for him so why change it right? specially now, jumps look ok right now but not yet where they should be 100 per cent in one month for the Olympic Qualifier.

Didn't like the combo spin right after the combo jump, it looks slow hope they change those elements

 

[Karen-W]

Jumps are all a bit of a mess from Donovan, but he stood up on them. I expect the 4S will get << and Jacob will still be leading with two skaters to go.

 

[beckab81]

For Donovan’s sake I hope Shin Amodio isn’t the caller at Chinese Nebelhorn.

Carrillo

4s looked under, 3a, 3f-2t leaning on first jump landing, Hip hip chin chin. This is a pretty old program, right? Would be nice to see him take on something new

 

[Rukia]

i'm crying jimmy couldn't jimmy any harder if he tried

 

[Debbie S]

Sigh, this program could be amazing if skated clean.

no is not and old program, the problem is that the composition of almost all his programs are the same formula with high tempo and energy latin vibe music you just can't differentiate them, even for me as a mexican I can't support him anymore using the same formula from season to season but given it has become his trade mark and what appeals to the audience it is a safe bet that he wasnt going to change specially in the Olympic Season

 

[Kateri]

Jimmy Ma: never knowingly undercommitted to the bit.

 

[her grace]

Ma

4t, 3a spun around on the landing so probably under, 3z-3t flip out, felt more serious and less energetic than some of his other programs

 

[Kateri]

True about the programmes, but this one is from last season, I'm sure.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, I like Jimmy's costume. Much better Firebird look than the one Shun Sato has. Not sure about the music change to Witchdoctor. Jumps are typical from his generation of US men. Jacob should still lead, IMO.

 

[Wyliefan]

Jacob wuzrobbed.
