2026 4CC - Men Free Skate

[peibeck]

Chen's jump technique is kind of unusual but despite that he gets impressive distance on the jumps.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, looks like Jacob and possibly Liam will be moving up a spot. Chen's PCS should be appreciably lower.

 

[peibeck]

Jacob's score would have been 3rd at Euros

Well other than Egadze, no men at Euros acted like they wanted a medal.

 

[tony]

Jumps not being reviewed at all. Clean all the way down.

He did however get a FCCoSp1V.

PCS around 6.5. Too high even so.

 

[tangerine dream]

Is it even a Romsky FS if he doesn't pop an axel?

 

[Karen-W]

So, we've got hot-and-cold Romsky tonight.

 

[tony]

Is he done after this?

 

[tangerine dream]

Is he done after this?

I thought he would be done after he made the 2022 Olympic team. All credit to him, he must really love to skate.

 

[Karen-W]

Good for Romsky for pulling it together after a rough start. Should keep him in the Top 10 overall.

 

[Jammers]

Wow Jacob would have won the Bronze medal at Euro's with that score.

Beautifully skated. Second half much better than first half. Guess this counts as Good Roman?

 

[peibeck]

Oh Roman... how you frustrate your cheerleaders. Sigh.

 

[peibeck]

Rotate Tomoki!!!

 

[tony]

That was a huge quad by Tomoki's standards

 

[Karen-W]

Another pretty decent skate for Tomoki! Do we know if he's planning on sticking around for the next Olympic cycle?

Tomoki Hiwatashi (USA)
Creep by Vincint Cannady

4 Toe Loop + 3 Toe Loop
4 Toe Loop - swingy landing. Likely UR
3 Axel

3 Salchow
3 Axel + 2 Axel
3 Lutz + Euler + 3 Flip - UR?
3 Loop
Fly Sit Spin L4
Step Sequence L4
Choreo Seq
Combo Spin L4

Enjoyed that. Not without issue, but generally well skated.

 

[my little pony]

get it Tomoki! I wonder if moving to Japan would put some spring in my step too

 

[peibeck]

Spins still pretty unfortunate, but at least Tomoki improved his step sequence to a level 4. Of course it took all season.

 

[peibeck]

Another pretty decent skate for Tomoki! Do we know if he's planning on sticking around for the next Olympic cycle?

He's 26, isn't he? I guess he could but... hard to imagine.

 

[Karen-W]

Wow. Just barely kicks Jacob out of the leader's chair by .29!

 

[tony]

Did he say last performance? Or had a blast with his performance?

 

[PRlady]

Wake up in time to see US guys go 1,2,3. Well well well.

Roman's in between 2 and 3

 

[MacMadame]

I heard blast.

 

[Jammers]

Jacob should be ahead of Tomoki.

 

[tangerine dream]

Chris never ceases to astound me. How does he pronounce the J in Slavic names as a hard J (i.e., Julia), but with Asian names he pronounces it as a Y? He's not consistent with how he pronounces letters but somehow always gets it wrong. It's uncanny.

 

[PRlady]

Roman's in between 2 and 3

Well, not that awake.

 

[tony]

It took a while for Tomoki's protocol to come through but not one jump was called for q or underrotation.

Jacob should be leading by a significant margin.

 

[Karen-W]

Lee's going to drop like a stone after this program. I'm guessing behind Peng overall.

Some of my favourite music so pre-disposed to like this. Nicely presented but the technical just wasn't there.
