2026 Worlds Mens FS PBP - You Will Score Something, But Not Nothing

[slicekw]

Reshtenko will be able to change his skates to dress shoes, put on his suit jacket, and attend the closing dinner. Smart!

Dear skaters,

If you wear a vest, it needs to be fitted and not hang on you like a potato sack. Thank you for your attention to this public announcement.

 

[Private Citizen]

Another hot and cold performance. Great 4T3T in the bonus though.

And more people trying to find their seats and standing in the aisle blocking everyone

 

[peibeck]

No Sheffield magic for Reshtenko, but the cantilever move is fabulous.

Darn ..... Gogolev wore his suit to the wrong program.

Darn ..... Gogolev wore his suit to the wrong program.

Hopefully just means he's gotten it dry cleaned so it's not sweaty.

Aww Brezina looks like such a caring and comforting coach.

 

[slicekw]

Tonia is being downright chatty today with her technical musings.

Tonia is being downright chatty today with her technical musings.

I wish she would stop

Kuperman getting a bit wild toward the end of his program, but still showing good commitment to his choreo and sensitivity to the music, and his opening 4t was beautiful.

 

[Private Citizen]

A performance in two halves… first half was very nice for Kuperman. Music change for the last minute or so seemed jarring to me.

 

[peibeck]

Kuperman not giving me any of the ballet vibes this music requires, but still has a lot of potential.

 

[peibeck]

I wish she would stop

Luckily she refers to Mark in dance and keeps it minimal.

Kuperman not giving me any of the ballet vibes this music requires, but still has a lot of potential.

No ballet vibes, but he seemed to be aware that there was music playing and made some efforts to interpret it, so better than several other skaters.

 

[my little pony]

is that krasnopolski?

 

[miffy]

Donovan Such a sweetie. I hope he has a great skate.

 

[Vagabond]

Egadze looks none too happy.

 

[Debbie S]

is that krasnopolski?

Viktor Petrenko

 

[my little pony]

is Donovan's bright pink jacket the Mexican team jacket or did he just wake up and choose to be fabulous and wear his own jacket?

 

[beckab81]

So group 1 was the young guys/next gen, and most of group 2 I'm wondering how many will retire.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, Yudong Chen looked pleased with his skate and so he should have. Sitting on top of the leader board 1/4 of the way through the event. Gotta feel good about that.

 

[slicekw]

I wish she would stop

Yeah, I like her usual terser pbp.

Thanks for picking up what I put down. I can forget that the subtleties of southern US English doesn't always go across in an international group.

 

[peibeck]

I wonder who Kuperman works with outside of Galit and Kransnopolski? I can't imagine either of them being strong at teaching jump technique.

 

[Vagabond]

"Ciao. My name is Gabriele, and I will be your waiter this evening."

 

[Debbie S]

I wonder who Kuperman works with outside of Galit and Kransnopolski? I can't imagine either of them being strong at teaching jump technique.

He also works with Viktor Petrenko (that's who was with Galit at the boards). I wish he would go to an FS coach full-time, but that probably won't happen.

 

[miffy]

Yay!!! Mark says Donovan isn't retiring!

 

[miffy]

is Donovan's bright pink jacket the Mexican team jacket or did he just wake up and choose to be fabulous and wear his own jacket?

No idea but I hope it's the latter

 

[my little pony]

just asking a skater on your bus to be your godfather seems more of an inside joke than a serious thing that has to be brought up every time you skate

 

[victorskid]

As I was going around getting things set up, did I hear Mark say that Donald Jackson is in attendance? How nice to have the man who landed the first 3lutz in the audience. He must really enjoy seeing what today's skaters are doing in the sport he loves and did so much for.

Yes, Don Jackson and his wife Barbara travelled to Prague along with PJ Kwong. PJ has posted photos on her Facebook and on the Skate Ontario social media.

Hagara is adorable but has zero understanding of this music.
