Worlds 2025 Mens Free: “Oh My Quad We’ve Come To The End”

[Sally1214]

Just noticed the thread title: AWESOME!

 

[MacMadame]

off to a flyer/ the races

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Toller Cranston is commentating in the clouds and saying that this I Pagliacci isn’t sad clown enough.

 

[ks1227]

Is that a loose lace on Tsuboi's right boot? Or just a long one?

 

[MacMadame]

So, music from Musical/opera to start off with - and I'd count this as a very literal costume with the Harlequin patches on the shirt.

I'll take your word for it on the literal costume as I'm not familiar with the Opera which has to be an obvious warhorse!

Too bad about the quads, but fought back well as the performance went on.

It's Pagliacci - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagliacci

I'm still tipsy. Sue me.

 

[peibeck]

Seen a lot of first skaters worse than Tsuboi. Too bad people are still filtering in and missing his skate.

Toller Cranston had a famous exhibition to I Pagliacci.

 

[Rukia]

Finally made it back in

 

[Karen-W]

Also, Chris said that was a courageous skate - so mark off real character/courage/bravery!

 

[beckab81]

I'm surprised that his coaching team had him keep the 4S in when he's been struggling so much in practices. At least he cut down to 1 today.

Tribute program!!

 

[slicekw]

That is so damned much music. I hate his face looking sad. I hope he gets something more fun to skate to next season

 

[Sally1214]

Yes, it is. Toller Cranston skated an exhibition to this eons ago. I have to admit to being a bit of a "warhorse" fan ... don't miind POTO, Carmen, etc. at all.

Guys, you need the Opera programs next season!

 

[tony]

Took 20 minutes to get through line, just now here

 

[JillyBean]

Last event, I've gotten so brazen that I've just snuck a cannoli and a slice into TD Garden. Let's do this.

 

[Vagabond]

Kulish's second quadruple lutz almost appeared to go higher than the boards.

Did Kulish just land more quads in one programme than Vasiljevs in his whole career?

 

[MacMadame]

This music is a cover and it makes me sad so:

emo/ sad girl cover

 

[Kateri]

Last event, I've gotten so brazen that I've just snuck a cannoli and a slice into TD Garden.

OH, TD Garden! (not me thinking the announcer kept saying we were in the tittygarden )

 

[beckab81]

Invalid element

 

[slicekw]

I opted for caffeine vs alcohol today. Opened up my Bingo Card for the men and the top left box said “man buns/ponies” and I giggled cuz this is the sport for man buns and also, ponies be fun.

 

[peibeck]

Kulish may want to work on more than just jumps.
