That was fun!

Is that because you couldn't see it from your seats

 

[my little pony]

NGL I dont get the excitement over this

 

[floridaice]

DONOVAN!!!!

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Skating in a minion Halloween costume to Mozart would have been fun too.

 

[beepbeep]

Enough with elegant figure skating, give us some cheesy trash!!!

Thank you, Tomas.
He would have struggled to qualify for the FS in any way, but it’s the men and anything can happen.

 

[ChelleC]

Come on Donovan!!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Can you catch up in the resurface?

I actually can! I thought I couldn't go back on Peacock, but it looks like it does do that.

 

[Wyliefan]

Skating in a minion Halloween costume to Mozart would have been fun too.

Knowing Mozart, he'd have loved it.

 

[Finnice]

In Fimland, Carillo is a cheap bitter imitating Campari. So he is a fake Milanese.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Me: maybe Donovan should just do triples and go clean
Donovan: 4S-3T
Me: Okay, that's fine too

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Knowing Mozart, he'd have loved it.

OMG YOU KNOW MOZART???? How'd you meet???

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh dear, it seem like Donovan went into the triple axle with no speed.

 

[miffy]

Stupid axels tonight. Axels are today what twizzles were yesterday

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK Kittens I’m off to the gym. I hope to be back for the last two groups but who knows, I probably just had 2500 cal in one sitting.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Microsoft Sam style Hip Hip, Chin Chin voiceovers

 

[Private Citizen]

4S looked under into 3T toe axeled and maybe short. Axel definitely short.

I think he’s more flamboyant than Johnny Weir, Sandhu, and Galindo combined.

 

[Wyliefan]

OMG YOU KNOW MOZART???? How'd you meet???

I knew someone was going to pick up on my unfortunate phrasing. But my brain was fried and I couldn't think of a better way to say it.

 

[miffy]

Donovan's smile

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Donovan is fire

However Valentina Marchei who was shaking it at the boards while he skated was better.

OK Kittens I’m off to the gym. I hope to be back for the last two groups but who knows, I probably just had 2500 cal in one sitting.

Thanks for waiting for the ice cut.

4Sq+3T
3A< - step out, both hands down, called fall
Flying Camel Spin 4
3Lz
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Whether Donovan advances to the free skate is going to be decided by the rotation on those first two jumping passes.

-1.00 = Falls
Q 75.56 = 3rd Place

 

[Braulio]

Donovan!! my god!! that axel!

 

[Sally1214]

An "Oh my gosh" from Kurt and "a whopper" from Carol on Donovan's 4sal combo. At least, he got off to a great start. Heck, overall, it was pretty good. Way to go, Donovan.

 

[Citlali]

Donavan

I just realized the "jump map" is not there.... I hope they forget it forever

 

[slicekw]

Dominic is such an entertaining skater! You can tell how much he is loved by fandom. Not the skate we wanted, but boy he was fun.

 

[Karen-W]

It's always either the quad or the 3A with Donovan - never both of them clean in the same SP (except at Skate to Milano, IIRC).

Live scores say his 3A was called < and his TES dropped, plus he's got a 1.00 deduction, so they counted it as a fall. This is going to be on the edge for qualifying.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I think he’s more flamboyant than Johnny Weir, Sandhu, and Galindo combined.

And that's why I love him!

Donovan: "It was so much fun!"

Too bad about that axel though.
