Mark reminds me of Aren Nielsen. Anyone else remember him?

 

[Belsornia]

I don't know why I had higher expectations for August of an Olympic season, but here we are with the men menning like it's any other day.

Well, anyone aiming for the Olympic qualifier needs to hit their season peak in six weeks, so it’s not totally unreasonable to think they could manage one clean jumping pass now.

 

[Rukia]

FREEBIRD??????

 

[kwanfan1818]

Has Gorodnitsky healed from whatever took him out last season?

 

[Rukia]

well his jumps aren't as free as a bird yet but i actually love freebird and fear this could be a slay if he ever goes clean

 

[Karen-W]

FREEBIRD??????

There are worse choices, but Tomoki isn't the right skater for that music.

Hiwatashi

4t flipout and hands down, 3a done, 3z-3t with hand down, think he could add more facial expressions

 

[beckab81]

It was basically the same choreo as his prior season SP’s (including the same jump issues ), but it matches the music a bit better I guess.

 

[Rukia]

1-3 combo we are so back

 

[Debbie S]

Selevko wishing he was an ice dancer for the 90s RD theme?

ETA: Ooops, never mind, Kiss came out in the 80s.

 

[Rukia]

Selevko wishing he was an ice dancer for the 90s RD theme?

he's done a better body roll than all of them rip

 

[Elisheba]

Selevko should be wearing less for this choreo

 

[Rukia]

Selevko should be wearing less for this choreo

yes see you get it

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Selevko - Welcome to Chippendales

 

[her grace]

Selevko the elder

more personality in his opening moves than we've seen all event, 1z-3t, 3a, 4t, cheeky, good ending pose

 

[Karen-W]

I am at a loss for Elder Selevbro's costume. I mean, obviously, purple for Prince is a given but this scraps of black mesh sewn together crazy quilt-style for the undershirt is a strange design choice. I really hope this wasn't made by his girlfriend's mom.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Selevko with a quad lutz is going to score big with this entertaining hot messs.

 

[dinakt]

Love the program for Selevko

 

[beckab81]

Bonus points to Selevko for committing to the campiness

 

[Karen-W]

And soon, with this next group, begins the battle for the lone Canadian men's Oly spot...

 

[Debbie S]

Nice jumping by Kovar but his skating does nothing for me.

 

[her grace]

Kovar

3r, 3a, 3f-3t, clean program, skates new senior-ish

 

[Karen-W]

Nice jumping by Kovar but his skating does nothing for me.

Same can be said for the other two US guys in this group, more or less.

 

[beckab81]

Is this the same program Kovar had last year? Doesn’t do much for him, I think the collar is making his posture look slightly hunched. Good job to go clean though

 

[Rukia]

Bittersweet Symphony??????

 

[Elisheba]

Did Gorodnitsky give Sedlis his shirt?

 

[Rukia]

Sedlis lands so flat

 

[beckab81]

Loved his smile after landing the axel. Guessing he’s a local skater from the cheers.

 

[her grace]

Sedlis

Hometown boy, 2a, 3t fall, 3s-2t, happy to be here

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

The O face on the double axel should land him a job on Broadway.
