2025 Skate Canada Mens FS PBP - The Oh-Men

[alj5]

I really like Kao's short, but I am not a fan of this free. He doesn't seem to be "into it" plus with the technical issues, just not a good outing today.

 

[just tuned in]

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

I don't know... Requiem Pirate Cat Satan is not working for me.

When was the last time Miura skated a clean FP? So much to love about his skating but his lack of consistency is so frustrating.

 

[Karen-W]

After a brilliant first half, it got messier and messier with each element from Kao in the 2nd half.

Skate America last year, I think.

I blame JOTEM

Kao Miura
Rank after SP: 4
Coach: Noirko Sato, Nobuko Fukui, Koji Okajima
Music: Les Parapluies de Cherbourg by Michel Legend

4Lo
4S - off-axis, but found the landing
4T+3T - no speed on the landing
Flying Camel Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
4T - deep knee, step out
3A<+1Eu+3S< - spinning out of the Salchow
3A< - step out
Choreo Sequence
3Lo+2A+SEQ - step out
Change Foot Sit Spin 2V
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (4 after review)

That's the pretty good version of Miura, and I'll take it today. Lost some stamina, and some control in the second half of the program.

163.89 = 1st Place
253.69 = 1st Place

Spectacular beginning for Kao but he certainy ran out of gas. Kevin Reynolds says this will get stronger and better as the season progresses. I hope he's right.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Loving these highlights for Elder Selevbro. Suits him!

 

[Braulio]

what did Uteri put in Nika's competitor's food?

I hope nothing coming from his grandfather

 

[Desperado]

Come on, Aleksandr - wake me up!

 

[PRlady]

Now rooting for Alex and Tomono to skate their best.

 

[just tuned in]

Do those isolations, A.

 

[genevieve]

I grabbed my ankle in sympathy on that axel

 

[tony]

I'm never mentioning a great day of skating ever again.

SOS his jump rotations. Music is powerful but really no choreography in the first two minutes except out of one spin and then all those jumps SO close together in the second half.

 

[LilJen]

Selevko has some leg wrap going on!

How many points for pounding the boards with your fists?

 

[my little pony]

are these ghost voices spelling something out? is it a ouija board?

 

[peibeck]

Selevko in a shirt only Nathan Chen would love. 4z really beautiful though. Incredible pop in it.

Nothing but jumps and really lacking presentation until 85% of the program is finished.

-3 GOE because even that was a half-effort

 

[her grace]

At least he pounded the boards away from the judges and officials

 

[slicekw]

I kinda want to blame the time change, but half these kids could have jet lag, so really, I guess I can’t?

 

[skategal]

Good job Alexander. Lots of green on the board.

Never seen a skater slap the boards mid-program because they only did two combinations. Maybe it would help more skaters to use that outlet to release some tension mid-skate. Missed combination aside, that was pretty solid technical skate, and he was bringing the intensity that the music asked of him.

-1.00 = Falls
165.93 = 1st Place
257.21 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that wasn't nearly as interesting a program as yesterday's SP, but good for Elder Selevbro for skating mostly clean today. Now, if he can share some of these good jumping passes with his girlfriend for next week, I'll be a happy camper.

 

[tony]

He could do SO MUCH with this music. It builds so well. Almost a nod to the macho 90s soundtrack choices we used to see.

But really, there isn't choreography.

 

[Sally1214]

With the exception of the mistake on the 3axel, that was a strong skate for Selevko. I'm rapidly becoming a fan.

 

[Skaterbob]

Didn't Chris saying he could take a pounding all night the other day or something crazy? lol

 

[my little pony]

saying Norwood and not Boston just sounds underwhelming

 

[PRlady]

I really like his skating. Could do more with the choreo but the step sequence is great.
