2025 Skate Canada Mens FS PBP - The Oh-Men

[Citlali]

Pretty sure the other one is a done deal

I know

 

[Skaterbob]

Andrei Chuvilyaev was at a relatively high level (Euros and Worlds appearance in pairs) and he was 6'6.5"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDUVnuXv9fQ Wow he is tall too!

 

[Karen-W]

I dozed through the first group of men - really was only mostly awake for Tomoki and Gogo... The men have resumed their usual pattern of skating, which was entirely predictable after yesterday's relatively clean SPs.

 

[Braulio]

In an interview in like 2023, they said they actually went for Malinin because they thought Skorniakov would be more difficult to say

I was thinking about that too and of course Ilia Malinin, shorter and more marketable

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Please be good Kevin today.

 

[genevieve]

Bo-low-neckline-lero

 

[my little pony]

I love this whole vibe. im gonna wear an open black shirt with red gloves when I pick up my statin later.

 

[LilJen]

Rizzo is not the italian I don't want on the O team

I thought it was Grassl who was suspended?

 

[Braulio]

Come on Kevin I dont want Egadze anywhere near the podium

 

[beckab81]

Come on Kevin, pull it back together, you can do this.

 

[tony]

The loop, the jump he didn't do in a LONG TIME which was always his easiest and he wipes out. Sigh.

 

[PRlady]

Come ON Kevin get it together.

 

[Braulio]

Rats! no Kevin

 

[LilJen]

Is this a deeper v on Kevin’s shirt than last year?

Really not a Bolero fan. Repetitive, unappealing piece of music.

I fear he is so invested in the choreography and performance (including roaring at the judges) that he just can’t with the jumps.

 

[Skaterbob]

I like this hair on Kevin when it is not in motion but while skating looks a little too Yuka Sato.

 

[floridaice]

how many points does staring down the judges get?

 

[PRlady]

lol Chris sounds like me. Damn it Egadze keeps creeping up.

 

[Aceon6]

Kevin defining menning for those who need a refresher and confirming that Bolero works ONLY if it’s 100% clean. Torvill & Dean deemed it so.

 

[genevieve]

ooof no Allen TX energy today

 

[her grace]

Allen, Texas, it ain’t

 

[alj5]

Well the first 30s were great for Kevin.

 

[floridaice]

It's ok Kevin -- get the meltdown program out of the way for the season.

 

[Braulio]

and another fall - 4.00

and a single lutz

No GP Final chances for Kevin

 

[Citlali]

Kevin

Bolero is the sort of music you must skate clean and powerful to maybeeee make it work

 

[skategal]

I haven’t liked a Bolero program Since Torvill & Dean.

Kevin’s effort hasn’t changed my mind.

 

[my little pony]

well the end is nifty tho the lady he growled out was unimpressed

 

[genevieve]

Yelling his frustration at the judges to end the program is a choice!

 

[tony]

Coming back from small injury bla bla, but he let all the easier jumps go today. Don't know why the flip is still in the program now that he finally found the loop again.

Still a brilliantly choreographed program and still pulling +5 on the choreographic sequence at the end.

 

[Kateri]

how many points does staring down the judges get?

I don't know, but I hope yelling at them doesn't cancel it out!

 

[petro]

It's the audible shriek right in front of the judges right at the end for me. Love you, Kevin.
