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

[floridaice]

The Moose Head has jinxed the ice again

on second thought, it might have been me. I told my husband that 'the next 3 skaters' would be good if he wanted to watch really good skating.

 

[peibeck]

Sato: 4Z (fall) . 4F. 4T/3T nice. Fly camel. 4T (hand down, maybe Q?) 3A/E/3S easy. 3A (fall). 3R/2A. Combo spin. Footwork fast and crisp turns, only level 3? Choreo sequence. Combo spin.

I preferred Yamamoto but this is technically a LOT harder of a program.

 

[YourBorneo]

Sato just wanted Ilia to have some clean ice for his free skate. So gracious!

Fred’s revenge

I’m calling the moose Fred

 

[kwanfan1818]

I'd rather listen to Cha's music every day than Sato's.

 

[thvu]

The 2nd 4toe was definitely < on replay.

 

[Karen-W]

Right now, Sato's TES is above both Cha and Yamamoto. We'll see what the tech panel does.

Doesn't really feel like he should beat them, though.

It's not holding - he's got an e on the 3z, and at least one < per Chris.

He got a ! on the 4F.

 

[canbelto]

Ok time for the fake blood collar ...

 

[YourBorneo]

Wow, I hate that result.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I know the jumps he fell on were harder, but that winning Silver over Cha is pretty lame, honestly.

I can't say the scores are wrong, but the vibes are wrong.

 

[Karen-W]

Dang! He held onto 1st with Ilia left to skate... The SP lead saved his bacon and my podium prediction.

 

[slicekw]

Come on, “corker” and “nailed it”

 

[tony]

I can't agree with that result, regardless of the SP.

 

[Kateri]

Ok time for the fake blood collar ...

If he's NOT a vampire, then what is it? Recurring nosebleeds?

 

[ilovesalchows]

I love that the blood smears have little red sequins sewed on.

 

[MacMadame]

I love this costume for Ilia even if it isn't particularly interesting

 

[Karen-W]

Wow, I hate that result.

I love it and hate it. My podium prediction is right and I'm happy for that, but I'd have been happier if I'd had the correct podium prediction with Shun in 3rd - though really, he should have been behind Sota, lol.

 

[Rukia]

he's not a vampire, he's a glamorous creature of the night

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Obviously the vampire doth protest too much.

 

[thvu]

I'd review the 4flip. Looked close to q.

 

[tony]

Just when the judges were doing a great job, the 4F has zero runout and gains absolutely massive GOE.

Same thing with the 3A. I don't get all the love for it, he lands with ZERO flow. Other skaters do more into and out of it and get much lesser.

 

[Karen-W]

Ilia's definitely not feeling the loop this week, lol.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Ilia nailing quads and then two footing the 3Lo. As you do.

 

[thvu]

Ilia could just skate around and vibe from here on out and still win.

 

[Rukia]

i'm with ilia loops are mean boo loops

 

[Karen-W]

"just phenomenal!" for a lame 4t+3t

 

[tony]

3T on the end of the quad also short and twisted the boot on the landing.

 

[Desperado]

Even Ilia looks tired, but he's not letting that stop him.

 

[MacMadame]

Ilia's definitely not feeling the loop this week, lol.

He's not really performing either. But I think this program has a lot of potential so we'll see how it progresses
