4 points below GoGo in PCS is criminal.

more creep fascinating

4T with an obvious stepout into a 3F? Idk, Tomoki.

Still slow. Jumps still get no distance. And almost 2 minutes in, I feel like it's just been back and forth down the ice to get all the jumps done.

Why would he do this to me, personally?

 

[Kateri]

I'm suddenly in favour of music restrictions - can't thom yorke get some sort of injunction?

yeah he doesn't know either

 

[beckab81]

Why all these bad covers of Creep? Can't we just have Radiohead?

 

[Belsornia]

Two Rach 2s and two bad covers of Creep. This group really has it all.

 

[peibeck]

So is someone going to do a "Creep"/Rach Concerto 2 mash-up? That's the only thing this comp is lacking.

 

[Karen-W]

Am I the only one underwhelmed by Tomoki despite that being a pretty decent skate for him?

if I hadn't seem Kapeikis's programs already this season i'd suggest him because there's something so us-ian who skates like a canadian about that

Did it sound like anyone was even slightly whelmed?

 

[peibeck]

Oh Tomoki, you never cease to break my heart. So much unrealized potential with those wild jump landings and unrealized levels on your spins. Sigh.

 

[Debbie S]

It's August, I guess menning should be expected.

Fairly decent program for Tomoki. Just needs clean jump landings.

 

[her grace]

Hiwatashi

4t steps out then 3f--if that was an Euler attempt, I couldn't tell until the 3rd viewing, 4t another messy landing, 3a that looked like it dropped from the sky, 3s, 3a-2a. One of his better jumping days in that he landed them, but many of the landings look like a struggle--lots for the judges to review, expressing the steps, needs more expression earlier in the program, fantastic split leap per usual

 

[Kateri]

I WILL say I don't think I've seen Tomoki emote that much, before. Not all of it was appropriate, but he was definitely giving... something.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, there is the option of a Sinnerman/Rach Concerto 2 mash-up that we haven't yet heard from this group...

 

[Rukia]

this is a big problem with him. His landings are messy and he doesn't even get his levels in a lot of other stuff. Idk what to do with him anymore.

All the comments while he was still skating suggest that you're not alone.

 

[tony]

I really hated the construction of the program. It went nowhere and the jumps were stacked. Spins are always meh. Give it PCS in the 6's.

 

[peibeck]

I hate to tell you August has nothing to do with men "menning."

 

[Karen-W]

Seriously, I'm trying to wait to go to the bathroom until the end of this group but I really feel that I could have made Tomoki a bathroom break.

go now you won't miss much

I don't think he's a natural artist, which hampers the overall impression even when it wasn't terrible (though there were a lot of messy jump landings today).

 

[peibeck]

I'm guessing this is his last season. He's in his mid-late 20's now. I can't see him continuing on, but who knows???

 

[Karen-W]

I'm not going to abandon one of my PNW boys!

 

[Kateri]

Liam with the classic choreo opener, "a difficult hat".

 

[Rukia]

lol i actually like this music forgive me liam

 

[tony]

Since Gorodnitsky gives me Stojko vibes more often than not, he'd probably be better off with this music than Liam.

And I've probably said it 20 times in the last few years, but Keegan Murphy skaters just don't have any kind of identity at all.

 

[Elisheba]

Elegant pop!
