2015 Finlandia Trophy Men's SP and FS

[SaraM]

The Finnish are an excellent audience like the Japanese. Very respectful and they enjoy and understand skating. So happy to have Worlds in Helsinki in 2017!

If only that were true for norwegians also...

What did the Norwegians do?

[silverfoxes]

I wonder why none of the Finnish men can ever get it together...you'd think if skating is so big in their country, they'd have at least one decent male skater

So he won't get credit for the second 3A or the SeQ?

He will get credit, just +REP means it will only get 70% of base value

 

[satine]

MCM's up first in this group. If the stream dies for him again I will be so unamused :sarcasm:

 

[OS]

Is Romeo and Juliet this year's Phantom?

Whatever... go MCM!

 

[foruiz]

It seems like it, 2015-16 is R&J season! Haha! Go MCM!!!

 

[satine]

That awkward moment where the audience starts clapping at a sudden quiet moment, thinking the program is over

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Not a bad skate for MCM, other than the pops - Like usual, his spins and flexibility are impressive. However, I find him pretty slow, and his ice coverage isn't great.

CCoSp3p - cool I-spin and Biellmann
ChSt

Some cool moves, but he seemed bit slow and had some costly pops

FS: 61.84+63.52 = 125.36, 190.54, 1/6

 

[Interspectator]

2 popped axels, but otherwise it was looking good for MCM.

 

[OS]

Yeah the music cut is weird... but this is a better outing than last. I am not sure what I feel about the program. Prefer his poto last year. Hope he pick a none warhorse next year. Stamina is an issue... the thing is why even bother do R&J after you seen Hanyus R&J version. I.... everybody should just give up now.

 

[SaraM]

What did the Norwegians do?

Nothing.. Figure Skating is not a big sport here, so we were wishing that Norwegians would be as interessted in Figure skating as the Finnish!

 

[foruiz]

Same thing, he has to work on his speed. And again, unfortunate for the many popped jumps there.

 

[gravy]

That awkward moment where the audience starts clapping at a sudden quiet moment, thinking the program is over

I died. I thought it was over too.

Reminds me of that terrible Ksenia Makarova program in 2011 with the 20th century fox intro cut with like half the program to go.

Also, was it just me or did it seem like he did 3 million axels in this program? (Many of which were popped.)
