[Karen-W]

Oh my lord - Shaidorov has flaps of grey fabric hanging off his back - mark off whickety-whack!

 

[tony]

Vasiljevs and Jin barely separated on PCS.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Adam... I suppose this costume is an improvement over the "Gangsta's Paradise" sleeveless sweatshirt over a hoodie over a t-shirt thing you were sporting at GPdF, but... That doesn't mean it's good.

I got Wordle on the second guess which no doubt means that this flight will be chaos.

Why you gotta play with fire like that during the warm-up?

 

[Aceon6]

Memola’s hair seems like my nephew’s. There’s a one week window between trims when it looks right and doesn’t hide his eyes.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I like to live on the edge (pun intended)

 

[Karen-W]

Yup, Deniss took us out of that "men aren't menning" alt dimension and we're not likely to rediscover it anytime soon.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, Memola.

 

[susieB129]

So pretty, our little "Timothee" Memola. And that's all I have to say about that.

 

[Aceon6]

Yup, Deniss took us out of that "men aren't menning" alt dimension and we're not likely to rediscover it anytime soon.

To my reckoning, alt dimensions are transient.

 

[tony]

Call those prerotations that the technical panel don't care about, Mark!
3Lz was < also

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Skary Babs!

 

[beckab81]

I like Memola, but that wasn’t very good

 

[Karen-W]

To my reckoning, alt dimensions are transient.

I dunno... I think the portals to the alt dimensions are transient. Clearly, the portal to the other one was closed when Deniss took the ice.

 

[tony]

Memola behind Jin on PCS too. I mean he's slow and such, but just no. What the hell. Jin has a non-program and spends the entire time looking at the ice.

 

[tony]

Shaidorov or Egadze winning here gives them a ticket to the GPF.

Egadze, for what it's worth, has the highest first-event score of all of them.

 

[Karen-W]

Shaidorov giving us not even the best "Dune" program we'll see in the Men's competition here, lol.

 

[tony]

Effortless 4Lz+3T. That 3T looked like a double. Jesus.

His ballet instructor was one of the figure skating 'family' that added me probably from all of my Skate America video posting, and it's fascinating getting a look into how seriously Mikhail takes all of it. He certainly is working hard to improve his skating.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Mark... That is not a program that is hard to beat by Shun or Adam if they're clean. Granted, that may be a stretch since men like to men, but...

 

[Kateri]

Righini's yellow glasses make every medal a gold!

 

[MacMadame]

Shaidorov giving us not even the best "Dune" program we'll see in the Men's competition here, lol.

But didn't we decide that was a "very literal costume"?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Egadze owning his depressing SP.

 

[Karen-W]

But didn't we decide that was a "very literal costume"?

We can!

 

[tony]

Egadze is another one who I was impressed with both in warm-ups for practice and especially in the gala at Skate America. He has good skating quality and works on his edges, and then the gala was just so over-the-top hilarious and full of personality. We just don't see it in competition really.

He watched a lot of the other disciplines very intently in the stands, at one point in the seat right in front of me. I wish he'd just break out of the shell in competition.

 

[Wyliefan]

Egadze looks like he only moves his arms under duress.

 

[MacMadame]

Does he have boot covers? It's hard to tell.

 

[Karen-W]

Nika - definitely won't be matching his SkAm score. And he's making me nod off.
