JGP #1 - Riga Cup, Riga LAT - Men's SP & FS

Janis Znotins of Latvia - this kid should be so thankful he isn't growing up in the US because that last name is just rife with grief from all his classmates.
 
ZNOTINS LAT
Black, but with unusual cutouts and silver studs
3Z (edge?)-2T
3F 2 ft
2A
Energetic yet boring music (how's that for an oxymoron?)
Looks SO young in the k&c
46.63
 
"Another Love" in another black slacks/white shirt with rolled up sleeves outfit - do better Kirills Korkacs.
 
Mark's talking about how some Latvian breaking through on the ISU level could drive local news coverage and interest in the sport. Hmmmm... Is Vasiljevs' success not enough?
 
KORKACS LAT
White shirt, black pants
2A
3Z-2T
3F
Generic music but not totally unpleasant to hear
Pretty decent skate on home turf, I'd say
Long k&c wait!
Still waiting... oh, come on, a 10 minute wait? And for what?
49.70

What on earth is going on with Donghan Yu?

I think that he asked for additional warmup time because it took so long for the scores to come up and now the referee has maybe determined that the last 4 skaters are going to get a new 6-min warm up period, which seems fair.
 
Donghan gives us some color here with a fire engine red shirt that has some black & silver diagonal stoning across the torso. It does look like some of the string of stones is coming loose though. Seamstress needs to do a better job of stitching that down. ETA - it could be deliberate, and if so, I don't approve because it's distracting.
 
Each of these guys are going to wind up with another 6-min warmup if we're going to be subject to 10-min delays in scores for each of these last guys, lol.
 
LOL - Mark's saying that Donghan shouldn't be given any ice cream before bed and Ted's all "whuh?" Ted is SOOO in his grandparent era, isn't he? And Mark most definitely is NOT! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
 
YU KOR
Nice orange top with black, lots of sparkles
3Z-3T fall
2A
3F
This music makes me want to remove my own appendix with a knife and fork
Another long wait in the k&c? Whhhyyyyy? Computer glitches, maybe?

Takahashi - "This Is Me" - a refreshing change from most of the slow, boring crap we've had from the men today. I don't understand how this burgundy into purple ombre shirt with flared shirttails and lots of purple stoning on the upper half goes with the song at all but I like it, so I'm here for it. And I appreciate that he knows how to hit a musical beat with the start of his step sequence, so again, I'm here for it. Give this kid all the points!
 
Juusola is skating to the Memoirs of a Geisha soundtrack in a baby blue tunic with sparkles on the shoulder and hem and a large black belt around the waist. I'm not sure someone with his pale, Targaryen-blonde complexion should ever wear this color of blue.
 
JUUSOLA FIN
Love the light blue color on top, that's a long ponytail
3F nice
3T-3T
2A
Is there any music here?
Newsflashes coaches: MOST music is not monochromatic, and neither is skating. Do better.

Last guy of the night is Jarvis Ho from Hong Kong giving us Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon soundtrack for his music. His costume is probably the most boring of this group with a bronze to black ombre shirt with lots of stoning on the shoulders that is giving us patented Nathan belly spins, so I guess we'll let it go.
