JGP #6 - Ljubljana Cup, Ljubljana SLO - Men's SP & FS

[Wyliefan]

Zich has a very odd way of landing his jumps. But I like his Italian swagger.

 

[Karen-W]

I know folks were complaining last week about Artem Darenskiy and his mustache competing in JGP pairs, so are these same people going to complain about David Sedej, who is 4 years younger, with his mustache competing on the JGP in men's singles??

ETA - maybe he doesn't have a mustache. The lighting is terrible and his bone structure and the shadows made me think he has one, lol.

[Frau Muller]

Total respect for Slovenia’s Ziga Jevnic… Rocky on Ice!

 

[Sylvia]

Matvii YEFYMENKO (POL) was born in Kharkiv UKR and so I find it poignant that he is skating to Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

 

[Frau Muller]

Little Luka Imedashvili (Lith) is coming up in this next group. Take Five and Sing Sing Sing.

 

[Sylvia]

Ted is back (he has duties at a BC competition happening in Chilliwack) before Luka takes the ice.

 

[Karen-W]

And Ted is back just in time for @Frau Muller's favorite young Lithuanian!

 

[Frau Muller]

Imedashvili has the SWING! Isn’t this a pleasant sort of skating? I hope that his career continues…also Haugeto in the US.

Johansson has some really nice qualities, particularly good posture for a taller guy, but just seems to have no competitive nerves this season.

 

[Sylvia]

Pretty sure I've mentioned this more than once before - I saw Casper in his JGP debut in Lake Placid in August 2019 when he was 13 and TINY!! Hard to believe he has grown SO tall now in the 5 years since. He's been injured, IIRC, so this is a later start to his season.

 

[Wyliefan]

Silence of the Lambs! I honestly can't remember anyone doing a program to that before (though I'll bet the FSU hive mind can come up with one ).

 

[Wyliefan]

And Ted feels the need to explain to us that Silence of the Lambs is a very dark movie.

 

[Sylvia]

Ted: "It's not a happy movie..."

ETA: Zich initially was listed for 2 JGPs and I thought he might be a contender based on past competitions. I look forward to seeing more from him!

 

[Frau Muller]

Zich as a mass murderer..hand goes to his mouth often. Creepy but well done.

 

[Wyliefan]

Is it even "Rocketman" if you're not wearing an orange shirt from outer space?

 

[Sylvia]

Two quality triple-triples in the 2nd half by Lloyd - awesome!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Cute shot of the British cheering in the stands. I'm still struggling to get used to Ash and Atl's new hairdos.

 

[beckab81]

Aww, I love watching the skaters that show they really love what they’re doing. I’d love to see more stretch & toe point, but fantastic for his first JGP!

 

[Sylvia]

@victorskid probably can tell us how small Grayson was the first time she saw him compete?

 

[Frau Muller]

Grayson Long so stylish.

 

[victorskid]

@victorskid probably can tell us how small Grayson was the first time she saw him compete?

Yup That was about 6 years ago when he competed at Minto Summer Skate as a pre-novice representing Skate Oakville.

 

[Sylvia]

Now Grayson is a teen heartthrob! (will turn 17 at the end of this month)

 

[Frau Muller]

Weiler - SOS song appropriate. Lots of skids and off-balance moments. Lambiel’s latest fave?

 

[beckab81]

Yay for Grayson, it seems like I’ve been hearing about his potential for several years now, it was great to see that come to fruition.

Sorry that Ean had a bit of a disappointing skate, but I really loved his choreo sequence and flexibility. And I think he still has more time in Jr to grow.
