2025 Skate Canada Mens FS PBP - The Oh-Men

[genevieve]

Selevko has 2 really great programs this season and I love that they are so different.
The rest in the middle (especially the dramatik pounding of the boards) is a bit hilarious but otherwise this is great choreography for him and he performs it so well.
Bonus for the Aymoz-worthy layout.

Is this Seleveko's first GP medal? Good for him!

 

[her grace]

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

He trains in Boston so jet lag can’t really account for his skate, which was mostly good, anyway

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

If anyone could hear the fan yelling “Bravo Sasha” it was the infamous crazy lady.

 

[LilJen]

Yeah, he does have a Hamill wedge. Most clear on the spins.

 

[tony]

He has at least bronze and this is his only event

 

[just tuned in]

saying Norwood and not Boston just sounds underwhelming

I was just about to say the same thing. Skate Club of Boston, more prestigious. Who even knows what "Norwood" means.

 

[Sally1214]

Wow .... great score for Selevko. Strong PCS which I felt he deserved.

 

[Skaterbob]

Is he at the top of the GP alts list now? So little time left for a second assignment.

 

[tony]

Okay, zero sarcasm. To me this program is a MASTERPIECE.

 

[genevieve]

calming bird noises to start the program. I'm here for it

 

[Desperado]

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

There was no time change in Saskatoon - they stick to Standard Time all year and I'm very envious of this.

 

[Aceon6]

To my eye, Kazuki is finally looking like a young man instead of a tweenager. And I approve of the shirt. But this music and skate should be forgotten. Please get enough points to hang on to the podium.

 

[Wyliefan]

Kazuki ...

 

[genevieve]

Tom Oh No

 

[Karen-W]

And Tomono takes us right back to men menning.

Me too. I'm not a fan of the time changes at all.

 

[her grace]

Tomono being his inconsistent artistic self

 

[Braulio]

Tom-OH NO!!

 

[Karen-W]

He has at least bronze and this is his only event

Yes, but he is 1st alternate so if there are any withdrawals for the last couple of events, he'll get the spot. And, honestly, after the way Kevin skated today - he may very well WD from SkAm to finish healing up.

 

[genevieve]

beautiful step sequence

 

[tony]

Compared to Selevko this is night and day in PCS all around. Japanese skaters and their knee bend, deep edges, effortless gain of speed, full use of body. Everything I want to see in skating.

I'd give him the lead even with the questionable rotation on the two jumps he missed. So much more of a complex program, PCS should be much much higher.

 

[Desperado]

Tomono's face after he almost went down on his last move.

 

[skategal]

Whoopsie spin. Scared himself I think.

 

[just tuned in]

In the words of Sarah E.: "What the hell was that!" (Stumble at the end.)

 

[genevieve]

that was such an "I meant to do that" recovery for the final pose.

Disappointing errors but lovely program

 

[slicekw]

Tomono’s music is beautiful, as is his skating quality. A shame that he had so many mistakes.

 

[peibeck]

Tomono's skating is gorgeous but too many errors. You could see his shoulder drop going into the 4s and knew it wasn't happening.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Okay, zero sarcasm. To me this program is a MASTERPIECE.

Yes I was just mesmerized by Kazuki. Great costume, great music choice and even more sublime speed and skating skills not to mention emoting too. If skated clean, he would get a monster score.

Kazuki Tomono
Rank after SP: 2
Coach: Tajin Hiraike, Yukako Sugita
Music: Halston by Stephan Moccio

4T+2T
4T - hand down, edge slipped, fall
4S< - fall
3Loq
Flying Camel Spin 4
3A+1Eu+3S
3F+2A+SEQ
3A
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 (3V after review) - stumbles out

A more subtle program than Kazuki usually does, but he pulled it off beautifully. The technical elements were pretty good, but just has slight timing issues that pull him outside the circle on the jumps occasionally, and also a spin this time.

-2.00 = Falls
159.39 = 4th Place
251.46 = 3rd Place
