Skate Canada 2024 Mens FS PBP - I'm Knit a Vampire

[thvu]

Sota is not nearly as tight in the air as he could/should be. The timings on the landings of all his bigger jump elements are always different.

 

[genevieve]

ooof that was such an awkward stumble

 

[Kateri]

Any time the choreo has someone holding their arms up, their gaze raised to heaven, I hope it looks like they're appealing to the Moose God, in the arena.

 

[Rukia]

I think he could give more to this program. He just seems tired.

 

[genevieve]

also, don't choreograph Russian splits if your skater can't do it

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I like the dramatic build of this music, but I'm not sure Yamamoto has the presence to sell it.

Don't let facts get in the way of my VISION!

Daring to put the 4T as the sixth jumping pass. Definitely not all the way around.

Both programs have a softer quality this season and I like them. I agree with Chris that the 4S to open had a suspect rotation, but otherwise really nice. Very understated skater.

 

[jlai]

Sota skated well but I thought Cha had a better program

 

[Karen-W]

"oh, what a shame!"

FWIW - that fall on the last quad won't cost him a podium spot. The program was boring compared to Cha and I'd rather have Cha on the podium, but I don't think it'll matter.

The music got bigger than him in the end.

 

[genevieve]

ok, give us scores quickly so I can see Sato kthxbai

 

[peibeck]

Yamamoto: 3R. 4S(UR). 4T/3T. 3A/E/3S nice. lovely spread eagle sequence. Fly camel. 3A easy. 4T (UR, fall out). 3F/2A. Fast flowing footwork sequence to this choral music. Sit spin. Combo spit to end.

Love the program, but too many errors. This will fall behind LOCO LOCO LOCO Cha.

 

[Aceon6]

Shirt aside, I’m still thinking about Cha. Yamamoto skated, right?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Have we gotten "nailed it" or "dream start/perfect start"? I thought we discussed nailed it, but I don't have them checked off.

 

[her grace]

Pure, quality skating. Masterful skate.

 

[YourBorneo]

also, don't choreograph Russian splits if your skater can't do it

“I thought the program was constructed perfectly for him”
Lmaooooo

 

[ilovesalchows]

Is that a pot holder?

 

[canbelto]

Nice program, but he doesn't have the flexibility for that ina bauer and Russian split.

 

[Citlali]

This program would be great if Sota sold it more

 

[MacMadame]

We got perfect start. Haven't heard nailed it but maybe @Karen-W has

 

[peibeck]

This song is what I imagine the music in Tutberidze’s head sounds like. Particularly the laugh part.

I'm certain she listens to it as she enjoys a glass of wine and some strawberry cake.

 

[PRlady]

Who is Christopher Tin and why are skaters finding his music? (Aeturna Lux last night.)

 

[Karen-W]

"perfect" start we got for Cha

 

[slicekw]

Yamamoto still feels “generic Japanese male skater” to me. He’s a very good skater in the Shoma model. Only personality was that final hand gesture. I’d like to see him kind of break that 4th wall and show us some personality.

 

[thvu]

That second 4toe was << to me.

 

[Karen-W]

We got perfect start. Haven't heard nailed it but maybe @Karen-W has

I haven't heard "nailed it" yet.

 

[beckab81]

We got perfect start. Haven't heard nailed it but maybe @Karen-W has

I'm still waiting on Nailed It.

I think it will NGL. THey weren't that far apart in the SP.

 

[Jay42]

Honestly the bad Ina Bauer and Russian split were enough to take me out of the program
