Ugh not the motivational video again!

 

[victorskid]

And we are back with the live stream for the men.

 

[tlk]

Great thread title!

And we are back with the live stream for the men.

Not on Peacock.

Neither here nor there, but in the middle of Thomas and I making our Grand Prix field announcement video, the other Finnish man (Suntsev) replied to my text about there only being one TBA spot for a Finnish man (they have a given 3 like every other host country) and he said both he and Valtter were completely surprised by that news. Neither one of them is really skating that well this season so I don't know why they didn't just hold a spot for both.

 

[Sally1214]

OK, gentlemen, let's BRING IT! Is it just too much to hope that both Stephen and Roman skate "clean-ish?"

 

[ChillSkate]

3 quads for Jimmy in warm up: 1 clean, 1 step out, 1 fall

In that closeup shot at the beginning, the Dr. looks tired.

Maybe he was up all night in the emergency room?

 

[Sally1214]

There you go .... belly spin .... for all of you who miss Nathan so much.

Valtter Virtanen
Coach: Alina Mayer-Virtanen, Michael Huth
Music: A. Stutter by Olafur Arnalds

3T+3T
3Lz< - fall
2A
Flying Camel Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 3

Lutz takeoff timing was all wrong, and Valtter never got over his skates to complete the jump in the air.

-1.00 = Falls
61.92 = 1st Place

 

[genevieve]

I really like dr Valter’s SP. he’s actually pretty expressive, but he doesn’t have a lot of ease in his movements, so in his shoulders. Plus he looks like he’s got a really complicated surgery coming up and he can’t stop thinking about it

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

*Looking at Andreas' back

So, this is what "norde" is?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Jesus has let him down already.

 

[MacMadame]

This doesn't sound like Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus

 

[tony]

+500 points for the nod to the Depeche Mode album cover on his back and for quickly doing a Vasiljevs spin. Don't remember the costume for this last year. Probably Paul Poirier inspired, look at all the doors he's opening.

 

[beckab81]

At least the spins were good?

 

[MacMadame]

This doesn't sound like Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus

Okay now this part does

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Nordeback is not quite Schultheiss level of voidy but quite fun too.

Yes, I'm old.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

This doesn't sound like Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus

My other half says it's a remix that came out around time as the original - agro mix or something like that.

 

[skatingguy]

Andreas Nordeback
Coach: Melanie Joseph, Christina Batian
Music: Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode

2T* - invalid element, no value
3A< - hand down
Flying Camel Spin 4 (3 after review)
3Lz+3T
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 3

Great program, but without the jumps it doesn't quite come together.

67.93 = 1st Place

 

[ChillSkate]

Practically a home GP for Nordeback - crowd was VERY behind his skate, lots of clapping along

 

[MacMadame]

[genevieve]

NordeBack skates like he thinks his choreography is dumb. Dude, you gotta own that shit!

* my phone is convinced I must mean to type literally anything but his name

 

[Sally1214]

Unfortunate start for Andreas but the foot sequence was very good and he's was flying in that change sit spin. Spin combo at the end was good too. So, overall, he held my attention and I enjoyed his program.
