[victorskid]

And we're live for the third and final event of the first day in Ankara (with Ted in Ankara and Mark live from his "home studio")

 

[Wyliefan]

A little late because I was at lunch -- Minkyu looked so sharp today!

 

[Elisheba]

OMG Ted said that his favorite Chris Howarth phrase is 'cat amongst the pigeons.'

 

[Elisheba]

Incel has an unfortunate false cognate in English, but I think he can challenge Demirboga.

 

[Wyliefan]

Nice job, Sena!

 

[victorskid]

After the first 2 of 4 groups we have an ice resurfacing.

[victorskid]

My feed appears to have frozen after the ice was resurfaced

 

[skateboy]

Just getting caught up here. I liked the Brazilian skater! I think he was a bit underscored.

 

[Wyliefan]

My feed appears to have frozen after the ice was resurfaced

Mine too.

 

[victorskid]

And we're back in time for the scores for the first skater in Group 3!

 

[kwanette]

Mine too.

I was just coming over to ask..Mine is back..

 

[Wyliefan]

If there's one song that should not get the emo/disaster movie treatment, it's "What a Wonderful World."

 

[skateboy]

Indonesian skater is lacking in content but he moves nicely and has a great costume.

 

[Elisheba]

Jarvis Ho is a fun skater.

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't remember seeing Henry Gao before. Kid's got swagger.

ETA: Jumps were not there today, alas. But I like his presentation a lot. Hope it's onward and upward from here.

 

[skateboy]

I suspect Henry may have gone through a recent growth spurt. (I went through it when I was his age and it was a relearning process when it came to checking and controlling the jump landings.) He's got good flair and presence.

 

[Karen-W]

So, clearly Garcia Shibinskiy is an Ilia fan, skating to "Hope" by NF.

 

[Karen-W]

Good 3lo for Kazanecki to start, flipped out on the landing of the 3a; he's very tall; great 3z+3t; his presentation feels somewhat awkward. Looking at the scores of the top men, I expect he'll be in 3rd after the SP.

 

[Wyliefan]

His favorite skaters are Jason Brown and Lindsay Thorngren because he likes good lines. Good taste, young man!

Sena and Minkyu were both great, although I personally would have switched the placements. Technically they're evenly matched (although Sena has a really gorgeous arched back on some of the jump landings), but Minkyu had the far better program and music, with actual choreography TO the highlights of the music.

 

[kalamalka]

Just getting caught up here. I liked the Brazilian skater! I think he was a bit underscored.

I saw him live in Ostrava last year, and really liked him. He was actually one of the skaters who really stood out. I wish he was able to get some training time on a full-sized rink to get experience with being able to skate freely and improve his speed, because his basics and lines are good.

12th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf31lKR7gWY

3Lo
Change Foot Camel Spin* - no value
Flying Sit Spin 2 (1 after review)
2A
Step Sequence 3 (2 after review)
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (1V after review)

Great performance quality, and some nice use of the music. The jumps don't have the height, or speed in/out to really compete.

49.26 = 12th Place

11th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ3epqVx9HU

Rough skate for Mehmet Cenkay, but he got the triple Axel out so that's something to build on.
