2026 4CC - Men Free Skate

[peibeck]

Lee has some nice presentation but that was rough. Even the camel spin at the end was unfortunate. Poor kid.

 

[Karen-W]

Eeesh - even lower than I expected - behind Carrillo!

 

[Bunny Hop]

Sorry, but I'm going to have to bale on PBP for the final group. Dinner hour approaches here and as Mr Bunny Hop has been kind enough to cook while I watch skating I'm not going to complain about the timing.

 

[Sylvia]

@Bunny Hop thanks a lot for your PBP - enjoy dinner!

[skatfan]

Blue is the final group color (except for Cha).

 

[Bunny Hop]

Cha really does love billowy shirts. This one even has ribbons.

 

[skatfan]

Cha really does love billowy shirts. This one even has ribbons.

I’m guessing it’s to emphasize his speed.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, this white shirt Cha's got for Loco is tragic. He should go back to the red shirt he had last season. Although, I am deeply amused by the strips of satin hanging off the back and his shoulders, lol.

 

[tony]

Thankfully he's back to this program.

Landing everything with such a definitive ease and just floating. Even the 3A has looked better in the last few seasons.

Ugh except for the last combo and not tacking on a 3Lo that was insanely good!

 

[Bunny Hop]

I’m guessing it’s to emphasize his speed.

I'd find the trailing fabric hitting me in the face while jumping distracting.

 

[my little pony]

ive never seen so many men in overly complicated white blouses in one place

 

[Bunny Hop]

Is this the best Cha has done in ages? He flung himself into a lot of it, but that was good.

 

[Karen-W]

Way to have your best skate of the season! Cha's coming on strong just in time to put himself back in the medal mix for Milano-Cortina!

 

[Sylvia]

All jumps landed by Cha except for the final one! 4S, 4T, 3Lz, 3A / 3F+1Eu+3S, 3A+2A, 3F+1Lo.

 

[MacMadame]

Cha! I don't think I've seen him skate that well since he moved up from Juniors!

 

[tony]

Cha! I don't think I've seen him skate that well since he moved up from Juniors!

2023 Worlds??

 

[peibeck]

Cha throws down a great skate. Really stalked the jumps, but mostly got them done.

 

[MacMadame]

2023 Worlds??

He seemed freer here. ETA and performed more.

 

[Karen-W]

Cha just won Euros!

 

[peibeck]

ive never seen so many men in overly complicated white blouses in one place

You've never attended a White Party then.

 

[tony]

He seemed freer here. ETA and performed more.

He nearly won the free skate that night and 4 of the top 5 were more or less on fire. And that program was better than anything he's ever done Best ChSq ever quite possibly.

 

[Bunny Hop]

I can't get over how poorly this program suits Boyang Jin.

 

[MacMadame]

He nearly won the free skate that night and 4 of the top 5 were more or less on fire. And that program was better than anything he's ever done Best ChSq ever quite possibly.

It scored better too.

I just liked this better.

 

[tony]

Staring down at the ice the whole time, not one ounce of choreography. Throw all the stuffed animals bla bla. There is simply no program here and he's not as strong a skater as he was even in 2016. Spins are average, footwork is really atrocious considering how long he's been around. It's just all been all jumps and some weird ass programs given to him that he doesn't relate to at all.

SK- 6.25 PR - 5.00 CO - 5.25 and no more.

 

[peibeck]

The PCS for some of these jumps with no run out for Boyang are like life achievement Oscars....

 

[tony]

The PCS for some of these jumps with no run out for Boyang are like life achievement Oscars....

GOE but yeah. All-around trash judging. Send in the Euros judges.

 

[Karen-W]

And Jin takes the silver medal at Euros!

 

[PRlady]

China has had some good men but Jin has always been a freak of nature who can land jumps. Sometimes. Where’s the guy who won China the spot at Worlds?

 

[peibeck]

Oh Boyang... after that the Chinese fed are going to make you skate til 2030 now. :

 

[Karen-W]

Hey, Misha... A new costume is not going to disguise what a turd of a FS this program is.
