GPdF 2025 PBP - Men FS: “When the Cock crows who will rule the Roost (er)?”

So, I completely overslept right through the FD and decided to watch the final 5 of that before I turned on the men. That was a regrettable choice. As such, I only watched Torgy, Naumov & Britschgi from the first group, but I'm here for the final group of men.

Torgs – these baggy shirts are so unattractive on him; this music is terrible for him – oh, he’s trying the Ilia approach – except, don’t come at me Torgy-stans – he doesn’t have the same cool factor that Ilia has. That was better than yesterday, so his hopes for the 3rd Oly spot are still alive.

Frangi – I’m gonna fast-forward through this because that score and the 2.0 in deductions tell me all I really need to know about how he did.

Economides – see Frangi above.

Naumov – just sort of sloppy all-around & not making much of a case for either the SkAm TBD spot or the Olympics, but that score is probably enough to keep him in the conversation…

Pitot – it appears he stopped Torgy’s upward trajectory in the overall standings, barely, but since I’m trying to catch up to the live by the time the last group of men take the ice, I’m also FFWing through im.

Britschgi – oh, Lukas, this costume is terrible – and you’ve had some questionable ones in past seasons, but this one takes the cake. Why are so many men thinking they can pull off the sleeveless look in recent seasons? Chris jinxed him! Dream start and then Lukas proceeds to pop the loop, lol. The program itself isn’t bad, but this costume needs to GO.
 
Mihhail I love you. He's on fire in the first half of the program. So much innate musical sense.

Second 4T was not all the way around obviously and looked like it hurt. Really running out of steam with the second half but so much to like about him. I still think he's better than his brother :-P
 
Selevko, M.

3f, armography, 4t-3t, great body position in jumps while he rotates, fall on 4t, 3f-1r-3s, not sure the program adds up to a cohesive whole (but then, how many men’s programs do?)

Second half started to get away from him, but the opening jumping passes were good.

Selevko - this is a much more restrained costume than yesterday, and I'm grateful my eyes aren't being assaulted. That wasn't a terrible program, but it also just sort of went nowhere and didn't really hold my attention.
 
Mikhail looked back to his 2023/24 form in the first half of this, but the last half really seemed like a LOT of work and labored.
 
Adam, can't you wear this costume for both programs? It would give you the feel you're going for, but so much less distracting that the short.

He's landing stuff well! Go Adam!
 
Triple Axel on the other hand will never manage much run out, not even a little bit. But the judges are being super fair with the GOE considering.

He's on fire from a technical standpoint. Best LP since Worlds when he went from 20 to 3 or whatever it was.

Siao Him Fa is the King of the Comeback. It was really obvious in this performance just how close Adam's jumps are between brilliance, and disaster.

196.08 = 1st Place
280.95 = 1st Place

Adam - how did I miss the minor costume change earlier in the season?! Lame, Adam. He really needs to stop putting himself in a hole in the SP, otherwise he's only ever going to be fighting for bronze at major comps. Good luck, Euros men, trying to beat him though.
