[victorskid]

For those waiting... the stream has just come alive so it appears that they will be showing the Opening Ceremonies on the Men's SP live stream.

 

[PRlady]

And it’s quite an elaborate ceremony. It’s clear this is a prestige event for the Emirates. That touches me a great deal but I’m not sure why, all these guys in dishdashas and hijab ladies here to honor teenaged skaters.

When they hold Worlds or 4 Cs there I’ll go.

 

[Elisheba]

Mark and Ted have been practicing turning around to face the camera in sync.

 

[Elisheba]

I think Brezina is getting hotter as a coach...

 

[PRlady]

So how do you send them a question? (Sympathising as someone who has had to fill dead air on inline programs!)

 

[victorskid]

So how do you send them a question? (Sympathising as someone who has had to fill dead air on inline programs!)

I think by their Instagram account.

 

[PRlady]

I can’t use Insta but thanks.

Belgian guy was fab, gorgeous jumps!

 

[Wyliefan]

I can’t use Insta but thanks.

Belgian guy was fab, gorgeous jumps!

If you want to tell me your question, I could send it along for you.

After the first 2 of 4 groups there is an ice resurfacing.

[Wyliefan]

Nice clean skate from Lucius.

 

[PRlady]

Looks a bit like he doesn’t yet know how to handle his long limbs but clean. They do know how to teach jump technique, those coaches.

 

[Wyliefan]

I like Motilla's program, but he had a really rough time of it. They're saying that he has brand new skates, and one has a defect, so that explains a lot.

 

[skateboy]

Classy balletic program from Li.

 

[kwanfan1818]

I love that Li did not use the usual Act III pas de deux music from Don Q.

 

[Wyliefan]

Li is really good and his reaction to his scores is adorable!

 

[kwanfan1818]

I was a big fan of Julian Yee's skating, and it's great to see him as a coach. He didn't have it easy to get training. From what Barton and Hanretty were saying, Yee has set realistic goals for his young (13) student.

 

[kwanfan1818]

When I watch Lindfors, I remember Jamal Othman, who had similar strength of movement.

 

[skateboy]

More skaters need to skate to Cherry Poppin Daddies.

 

[Wyliefan]

Gorgeous skate from Sena. Came within a hair's breadth of hitting the wall on his combo, but stayed cool as a cucumber!

 

[Wyliefan]

I just noticed a sign saying "Rich and Salt Snacks" in the background as Sena was finishing up. I don't know what rich and salt snacks they would be, but I want some.

 

[PRlady]

That was lovely to watch and I see the Shoma resemblance.

 

[skateboy]

Takahashi is a lovely skater. Deserves better music.

 

[PRlady]

And Long just blew his JGPF chance, fall on and no combo.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Bummer for young Kazakh dude with the music issues at the start.

 

[victorskid]

After 4 groups, this event (and Day 1) is complete.

[skatingguy]

12th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgVlyacflbc
Soner Oeztuerk
Age: 16
Coach: Karin Hendschke-Raddatz
Music: Selections from Elvis Presley

3S+3T
3Lo
Flying Sit Spin 4
2A
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 (3 after review)

Good skating, and a strong performance fitting the Elvis music.

58.93 = 12th Place

 

[skatingguy]

11th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teSD-SwsLo0
Julio Potapenko
Age: 19
Coach: Larissa Matskel
Music: If You Go Away by Neil Diamond

3Lz+3T
3Lo
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
2A
Step Sequence 2
Flying Sit Spin 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 - loss of speed/poor positions

Some positions in the spins, steps, and transitions not well formed, or extended, but the jumps were nice.

59.89 = 11th Place

 

[skatingguy]

10th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB_ldZs49FA
Arthur Smagulov
Age: 18
Coach: Rafael & Ver Arutiunian
Music: Angels by Robbie Williams

3A - step out
3T+3T - no speed/flow on landing
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
3Lo
Flying Sit Spin 2 (1 after review)
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (2 after review)

There was a glitch with the music at the top of the program that required Arthur to stop, refocus, and then start his program. Hard to know what impact that had on his performance, but he did finish after the music so I think that was connected.

63-20 = 10th Place
