2025 World Team Trophy - Day 2

[Karen-W]

Which costumes have to go?

hmm let me think on it. open to suggestions lol

It's the end of the season. I vote for ALL of 'em!

 

[tony]

Review 4S, 4Lo, 3Lo, 3T after 3Lz ... as a minimum

 

[Sally1214]

Just watching Daniel's spin positions makes my hip joints hurt.

 

[beckab81]

I know it's WTT so they won't review rotations... but even I could see the hook on some of those landings.

I hope next year he gets a program that leans into his more angular movement style. Ballet is not a good fit for him.

 

[tony]

4S was not clean

Actually none of the jumps I listed above were clean but sounds like they gave credit for all?

 

[skatingguy]

Daniel GRASSL
Coach: Edoardo de Bernardis, Luca Mantovani
Music: Billy Elliot

4S
4Lo
3F
3A+3T
Choreo Sequence
3A - step out
3Lo+2A+2A+SEQ
Flying Change Foot Combo Spin 3
3Lz+3Tq - poor landing
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Change Foot Sit Spin 4

That program concept is still a bit of a headscratcher - the voiceovers telling him to stretch, and nothing is stretched.

172.45 = 1st Place

He should get a voidy Benoit program about his suspension “lost year”

 

[Sally1214]

Some of these K/C shenangians make the whole comp worth watching.

 

[Sally1214]

I'm a huge Adam Siao Him Fa fan. I just think he's SO talented.

 

[beckab81]

Hope Sato is feeling better today, can't imagine trying to get thru a long program while sick!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Please be good Kevin today.

gymnastics on ice

 

[MacMadame]

took a long look

 

[misskarne]

I'm very sick so my filter is lower, but - there's no way that Aymoz should be getting away with that flagrant rest break. Too many people give him a pass on it

 

[tony]

Here's where not doing the loop doesn't make sense - he could've done a 3Lo+Eu+3S in his sleep, having to readjust for doing the 3T twice earlier in the program.

At least he added points where he could, but bring the damn loop back and dump the flip.

 

[leilaofpaper]

took a long look

double bingo... still deciding which costumes to axe. can I retroactively axe Ilia's short costume?

You mean when he's on the ice for 3 seconds versus the 10+ seconds that Fa has playing dead?

 

[skatingguy]

Kevin AYMOZ
Coach: S. Fontana, F. Bonnard, J. Zimmerman
Music: Van Gogh, Hold on Tight, Destiny

3T
3T+REP - landed forward, overrotated
3Lz

Flying Change Foot Combo Spin 3
Step Sequence 4
3A
3S+1Eu+2S
3F!+2T
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

More help for Team Italy.

165.34 = 2nd Place

 

[Sally1214]

Shaky start for Kevin but he pulled it together. He was thinking on his feet as he made program adjustments. Love his acrobatics. Nice to see that smile on his face.

 

[misskarne]

they;'re both bad and both should lose points for it but yeah especially Fas

 

[tony]

they;'re both bad and both should lose points for it but yeah especially Fas

Seeing how Kevin does more choreography in the opening 10 seconds than a lot of skaters have in their entire programs, I think I'm okay with those 3 seconds

 

[Sally1214]

Oh dear .... I don't know if Sato is looking that healthy today. Best of luck to him.

 

[MacMadame]

double bingo... still deciding which costumes to axe. can I retroactively axe Ilia's short costume?

Yes, because we had no BINGOs yesterday. Plus someone has to do it

 

[Karen-W]

I, for, one am totally okay with Adam's 10 second dying on the ice & resuscitating himself rest break. If you're gonna go ham, go ham all the way and embrace the eff outta it.

 

[misskarne]

sato definitely losing steam here

 

[MacMadame]

Speaking of Adam and that weird ass laying down in the middle of his program, Dune counts for a new music category: music du season.

 

[skatingguy]

Shun SATO
Coach: Tadao Kusaka, Keiko Asano, Takahito Mura
Music: Nostos by Jean-Michel Blais, Angele Dubeau

4Lz
4T+3T
3A - a little of balance, slight slip on landing
Flying Camel Spin 3 (2 after review)
4T - big step out
3Lo+1Eu+2S
3A+2A+SEQ
3Lz - hand down
Change Foot Sit Spin 3
Step Sequence 3
Choreo Sequence
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (4V after review)

Clearly feeling the effects of the illness that has been reported - good start, and then started to lose the energy.

169.62 = 2nd Place

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Shun should go ahead of Daniel, but who knows what these crazy judges will do. Full props to him given how sick he is.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm one away from bingo in three different directions, but I feel like I'm going to be let down by these guys & Chris.

 

[leilaofpaper]

Alright since I have no better options I'm axing the Georgian pair's costumes
