2025 Skate Canada Mens SP PBP - The Nightmare Before Quads Miss

[tony]

This program reminds me of a lesser Bold as Love that Kozuka used in 2010. I loved loved loved that program.

 

[BittyBug]

I like this new and improved Tomoki.

 

[beckab81]

Don’t end on spins if they tend to be weak. End with the SS instead, it would leave a much better impression for the judges & fans.

 

[peibeck]

Tomoki needs to save some of the energy from his great footwork for those spins.

 

[Sally1214]

Loved that from Tomoki. He's always such fun to watch. One of those skaters whose love of skating reaches all the way to the rafters.

eta: I just know that, if I did that fist pump, I'd be one beat ahead or behind the music.

 

[Firedancer]

Can’t believe how much better Tomoki looks this season. But the spins really need work

 

[Jay42]

I enjoyed this from Tomoki overall but his spins to seem to be quite all over the place quality wise and that last one slowed down so much.

 

[PRlady]

First time I’ve seen that SP and OMG FREE BIRD!!

My favorite men SP of the season. Skates it like he means it. Needs to fix the spins.

 

[YourBorneo]

“The Japanese are not very good with their smiling?” WTF?!

 

[genevieve]

I TAKE IT BACK.

Tomoki completely sold me on artsy Freebird. Well choreographed, and the timing of 2 of the 3 jumping passes was so effective. Ran out of steam in the last 30 seconds but hopefully stamina will come.

 

[Matryeshka]

I feel like Tomoki's program is with his people in this arena. I'm here for this Gay Night at the Biker Bar program.

If he skates this well in the LP, I don't know what to do with my life. What timeline is this where Tomoki might have TWO good outings in ONE season?!!!

 

[tony]

No, Chris 4T should've been reviewed and it's q/< territory and massively prerotated.

IDK what's up with him today but the 3T was also WAY short.

 

[Lizziebeth]

chiming in that his spins are not good!!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I could practically smell the 1970s dope smoking outside of the school dance during Tomoki's performance.

 

[genevieve]

The Kerri Strug voice surprises me every time

 

[thvu]

No, Chris 4T should've been reviewed and it's q/< territory and massively prerotated.

I saw 4toe q, 3lutz <. The 3toe looked okay to me.

 

[Jay42]

What is going on with Aleksandr's shirt?

 

[terisa]

First time I’ve seen that SP and OMG FREE BIRD!!

My favorite men SP of the season. Skates it like he means it. Needs to fix the spins.

I think my "OMG FREE BIRD" had a different meaning than yours...

 

[genevieve]

Big bro Selevko bringing teh SEX to the prince program

 

[Desperado]

Selevko can dance.

 

[beepbeep]

The music, the costume, the expression.

Selevko delivering proper OES trash.
It’s a compliment.

 

[Impromptu]

“The Japanese are not very good with their smiling?” WTF?!

He said "my Japanese isn't very good, but they are smiling" ... meaning he didn't know what Tomoki and coach were saying, but it must be positive because of the smiles.

 

[Skaterbob]

I will be so sad if this isn't at the Olympics.

He was in such a rush to get to Saskatoon that the seamstress didn't have time to finish making his shirt. Great technical skate, and wonderful performance.

91.28 = 1st Place

 

[peibeck]

A Selevko looking more like his former Euro silver medalist self than last season.

This blouse is pretty hideous though.

 

[thvu]

Wow, I loved that from Selevko the Elder, and I wasn't prepared to at all.

 

[BittyBug]

Well it seems that Selevko is new and improved, too. Very strong first flight.

 

[tony]

I saw 4toe q, 3lutz <. The 3toe looked okay to me.

I think both looked not so great, but it's kinda his built in technique of hooking every landing.

 

[Matryeshka]

OMFG. I forgive the hair. The first five seconds, I'M IN. He could fall 17 times and I'd be like, the opening moves, give him ALL THE GOEs.

 

[beckab81]

Give him all the points, Selevko is so damn watchable when he’s clean (or cleanish). I’ll even forgive the hair.
