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

[ilovesalchows]

Someone’s been raiding Chocks closet.

Chan of Chan/Howe.

Well in this case it's supposedly the Howe of Chan/Howe

 

[Lilia A]

That would be who? He's a new skater for me.

His girlfriend is Emily Chan, so her partner is Spencer Howe.

Wow BIG cheer for Memola.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Bloody murder scream for Memola

 

[kwanfan1818]

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

I suspect someone gave him a talking to after yesterday's commentary.

Selevko the Elder was so much fun to watch, and boy would I have been tempted to re-evaluate any GOE, however little, I'd given to Hiwatashi's spins after watching Selevko's. It's fitting I'm watching from Tallinn.

Is Memola doing a Carol Burnett tribute program? Shirt is giving Went With The Wind vibes

 

[Belsornia]

Memola’s blouse looks like he didn’t have budget for a costume but someone at his rink found this at the back of a cupboard left over from a club show.

 

[tony]

I'm gonna repeat it since Aymoz and Edgaze are skating back-to-back. Eteri is obsessed with Kevin's skating. She watches him so happily when he's practicing, and I know she's just dying to have her skaters do what he does. I guess that's one redeemable quality she has.

 

[peibeck]

Ilia's hair looking like he's channeling Beaker from the Muppets.

He is keeping with the tradition of good italian boys skating wearing theirs nonna's blouses!

 

[ilovesalchows]

I really don’t like that fake flesh on Ilia. It’s too fleshy or something. I have accidentally stumbled upon naked bike rides in both Victoria and London so I have seen worse but I think maybe a tinted mesh would have been better.

And then she sends them to Dani G???

Poor Kevin, I would be scared out of my mind if I had Eteri's direct gaze at me, that or turn to stone, whatever comes first

 

[tony]

And the she sends them to Dani G???

Kevin could become rich if he retires and choreographs exclusively for her gaggle.

 

[clairecloutier]

I’m a little behind but that was a legit hot skate from Selevko the Elder (and I don’t often say that about the men ).

 

[Jay42]

Kazuki's music sounds a bit like it got lost on it's way to a 90's RD but apparently the song came out in 2018

 

[Skaterbob]

I loved the tempo change in Tomono's program.

 

[thvu]

Program composition better by in the 9s for Tomono. WOW DID I LOVE THIS.

And the ending with the steps, were he's just using his skating skills to bring the funk, my god. What a brilliant program!

 

[tony]

I love Kazuki. He always has such diversity between SP to LP and we will see it again here. I despised his FS last year, he's so much better than it. But he brought back his program from 2024 and it's a masterpiece IMO.

All the jumps need reviewed but this was fun.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Kazuki's making a play for that 3rd Japanese men's spot, but I don't trust him to skate a clean FS, so I'm sure he'll take himself right out of the mix tomorrow.

 

[Citlali]

Is this also AI music?

 

[genevieve]

the voiceovers are giving me Im Too Sexy flashbacks

interesting/unexpected program choice
I like it, although putting spins on the fast part only works if you are spinning fast (I mean the mid-program spin - ending spin was fine)

 

[peibeck]

Tomorrow also channeling the RDs??? Love his posture but a bit sloppy.

 

[MacMadame]

I just realized that I haven't been complaining about the camerawork for this comp.

Also, this choreography is so unique. I love that he is not just flaying his arms around but using all parts of his body.

 

[jlai]

Great for Tomono, always have liked him.
Men are not menning

 

[skatingguy]

Kazuki Tomono
Coach: Taijin Hiraike, Yukako Sugita
Music: That’s It (I’m Crazy) by Sofi Tukker

4T+3T
4S - slightly out of control, hangs on
Flying Camel Spin 4
3A - slow to check rotation, hung on
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 (3 after review)

The jumps are on the edge, and today it was the right edge, but not necessarily at the exact moment he would have wanted.

92.07 = 1st Place

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Some of these music selections make no sense to me. This is an Olympic season, pick Olympic worthy music! This isn’t Adam Rippon, just doesn’t make sense to me for Tomono in such a competitive men’s field in Japan.

 

[Sally1214]

Wow, Kazuki bringing it too. This men's competition (so far) has been surprisingly great so far. Keep it up, guys.

I noticed that at Worlds. I think it's kind of weird, but maybe that's because I don't want to credit her with a redeemable quality.

 

[Spikefan]

If I can’t have Kao at the Olympics I will take Kazuki.
