2025 Skate Canada Mens FS PBP - The Oh-Men

[Kateri]

This Creep cover is actually more painful to us '90s kids than the entire RD.

 

[Citlali]

When Chris said Tomoki was skating to Creep I never imagined this twinkly version

 

[Braulio]

tinkly piano Creep, ok sure

He helped 20 korean girls now to have a program for next 5 seasons to skate to

 

[tony]

4T here looked short. 3A looked tight, too. All of his jumps are landed really rough and all the ice flying up makes me think he's back to underrotating every single thing.

Even though he's progressed and the jumps actually looked better in 3/4 of his GP programs, I still think he's at the mercy of whether a panel wants to do their job or not come Nationals.

 

[Skate Talker]

How is Hiwatashi getting positive GOE on those jump landings? He looks off-balance on all of them.

 

[Sally1214]

Feck! My brain lost the post-it about the time. Is it worth it to rewind?

Each of us has only so many minutes in our lives and we should strive to spend them in the best way possible. So, with that in mind, the answer to your question is "no."

 

[her grace]

Hiwatashi

Struggling some on jump landings today. Even if they aren’t short (I’d review), there’s no flow or strong exiting edge out

 

[genevieve]

Now it sounds like Muse covering Creep. What did I do to deserve this?

 

[Skaterbob]

praying that wont happen

Keegan has always been all over the place with his jumps during his career. It is not like he is some steady rock.

He was holding on knife's edge through most of the program, but managed to keep things mostly under control.

146.26 = 2nd Place
230.58 = 2nd Place

 

[Braulio]

How he skates to this every day, I admire you Tomoki

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

I think a speck of ice from Tomoki’s Axel sequence landed on me with all of the ice flying into the air from the scratchy landing lol.

 

[skategal]

There are already too many literal creeps in skating to willingly choose this music.

 

[tony]

Put in some quick texts and it's in fact Ted doing Skate America commentary.

 

[my little pony]

tomoki reallyy skates this program like it's giving him life, it's nice to see

 

[CassAgain]

You belong here, Tomoki!

 

[Wyliefan]

"Skating uphill" is an interesting mental image.

 

[Desperado]

If people think Nguyen is annoying now, just wait until his best pal, Keegan, comes back.

 

[floridaice]

Peacock, don't start messing with the video like last night

 

[beepbeep]

Managing to find a sadboi version of Creep is somente almost laudable.
For all the wrong reasons.

 

[Sally1214]

If people think Nguyen is annoying now, just wait until his best pal, Keegan, comes back.

Oh gosh .... why do you guys hate Keegan so much? Just curious .....

 

[tony]

Egadze with the choreography of the season in the last 30 seconds of the program. If you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a treat.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Reynolds is also calling the unders/q's left and right and noted the lack of runout on Hiwatashi's jumps.

ETA: To me Hiwatashi has been looking tired this season on the footwork, which used to be the highlight.

 

[slicekw]

Hiwatashi is a good candidate for an Olys spot at the US Nats, especially if he can keep things together and clean there, and skate like he did last week. I’d love to see it happen.

 

[my little pony]

what is the percentage of Benoit programs at this event? does he have a little reception for all his kids after the exhibition?

 

[beckab81]

Ouch!!!

 

[Kateri]

Today, the Universe allows One Quad Salchow. Two is hubris, and you will be smited.

 

[Lizziebeth]

nasty fall, poor guy

 

[slicekw]

“You can really see how hard he’s working out there” is not a compliment, Egadze.

 

[tony]

It's a weird thing to say I suppose but I can just see he has an innate musical ability. It just doesn't really come through. So much better this year but still not there in the competitive programs.

Jumps getting rough, making it all a bit flat.
