2025 World Team Trophy - Day 1

[skatingguy]

Morisi KVITELASHVILI
Coach: E. Tutberidze, D. Gleikhengauz, S. Dudakov
Music: Tout l’univers by Gjon’s

3F+3T - 3-turn between jumps (after review the technical panel determined no touchdown of the free foot between the jumps - valid combination)
3Aq - tight landing, tilted forward
Flying Camel Spin 3 (2 after review)
4T<< - opened up forward, big mess, fall
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 2 (1V after review)

-1.00 = Falls

It's almost like he hasn't competed in a couple years.

59.54 = 1st Place

 

[MacMadame]

No, lol. mangles name!

The way he said it, I just knew even though I couldn't quite catch it. And I think he just mangled his first name too!

 

[MacMadame]

Oh, I wasn't paying attention. It sounds like he also got an invalid element...

 

[Karen-W]

Morisi's hair is quite the choice.

 

[tangerine dream]

Not bad for Rakic. Are Chiu & Gogolev both injured?

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Chris, you're killing me. That program from Rakic was so boring I nearly nodded off.

Aleksa RAKIC
Coach: Joanne McLeod
Music: Biblical by Calum Scott

4T
3A< - fall
Change Foot Camel Spin 4 - slight slip trying to centre the spin
3Lo+3T - tight landing, loss of speed
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 4 (3 after review)
Flying Sit Spin 4

-1.00 = Falls

Some things to like about Rakic's skating, but the McLeod jumping technique is not among them. He slows down so much going into the jumps.

72.86 = 1st Place

 

[misskarne]

Maybe Canada wanted him to get some experience and thought WTT was a nice low-stakes comp?

 

[Karen-W]

I just realized Team Canada put Maxime in a moose onesie. Oh, Piper, dear... You've really let us down on your Team Captaining duties with this unnecessary concealment of Max.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - the announcer is colluding with Chris on who can mangle skaters' names more. We have "Ramen" Sadovsky up next.

 

[misskarne]

I was just thinking "of course Sadovsky skates clean at the most meaningless comp of the year" but he didn't even do that.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Roman, never change. Destroy your fans by screwing up the combo after you successfully get through the 4S and 3A.

 

[tangerine dream]

LOL - the announcer is colluding with Chris on who can mangle skaters' names more. We have "Ramen" Sadovsky up next.

Well he did just see Eteri's hair...

 

[skatingguy]

Roman SADOVSKY
Coach: Tracey Wainman, Gregor Filipowski
Music: Unconscious by Charlie Winston

4S
3Aq
3Lz+3T - 3-turn between jumps, two foot landing on the toeloop
Flying Camel Spin 4
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Pretty good for Roman - the combination is really a hurdle.

84.75 = 1st Place

I just realized Team Canada put Maxime in a moose onesie.

Is that what it is? I was like why is he wearing a brown bear?

 

[Karen-W]

Is that what it is? I was like why is he wearing a brown bear?

It may be a brown bear. Does it matter? It's a large, brown mammal. And it's all wrong on him.

 

[misskarne]

LET'S GO JASON.

 

[skatingguy]

Not bad for Rakic. Are Chiu & Gogolev both injured?

Maybe Canada wanted him to get some experience and thought WTT was a nice low-stakes comp?

At Candians this year there was essentially only one senior international man - Sadovsky - Rakic withdrew after the short, and neither Chiu, or Gogolev competed.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Speaking of literal costumes, Jason brown in brown

 

[MacMadame]

My computer died.

I think Chris said something was "all wrong" while I was recovering though

 

[Karen-W]

nothing wrong with that 3a - yeah, I'll take it too, Chris.

 

[misskarne]

That'll be well over 90, please and thankyou, judges.

 

[skatingguy]

Jason BROWN
Coach: Tracy Wilson, Brian Orser
Music: The Legends of Tarzan (soundtrack)

3F
3A
Flying Sit Spin 4
3Lz+3T
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

So much better than Boston. Brilliant

93.82 = 1st Place

 

[tangerine dream]

Best SP of the season for Jason by about a mile.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

For all of you guys worrying about Jason even being put on the world’s team, #ShameOnYou

 

[MacMadame]

I think we can count that as "dying on ice" at the end there.

 

[misskarne]

How does he do it? Just magnificent.

And so glad Tarzan got a performance like this before it is set aside.

 

[Karen-W]

For all of you guys worrying about Jason even being put on the world’s team, #ShameOnYou

LOL. Listen, he gave us plenty of reason to worry all the way up until Boston.

 

[MacMadame]

LOL. Listen, he gave us plenty of reason to worry all the way up until Boston.

Also, griping that USFS won't give the young guys opportunities while they hang on to their older stars with a death grip doesn't really have anything to do with how the old guys perform.

 

[misskarne]

Bit skint on the components there for WTT, judges?
