2024 Four Continents Men's Free Skate

[Dr. Jenn]

Pretty solid skate by Jun - Good stuff! I always enjoy his skating and his -3Lo combination. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. My only minor nitpick was that I found the dangly bits on the back of his costume to be distracting.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

They did!

I know @CaroLiza_fan doesn't like it, but I'm not sure what the general opinion is. It seems to be within reason though...like I've never seen the skater currently in 1st place go 1st in the last group or anything like that.

Most of the people that have been commenting about it in the competition threads feel the same as I do. Whether that is representative of the general opinion, though, I don't know. There may be people who like it who just haven't spoken out and said so.

But, it does make the competitions harder to follow. And that is not a good thing if you want to increase the popularity of the sport.

I believe Keegan will get the 2nd 3 axel back in for Worlds. 4 Sal not quite ready to go back in there yet.

there was work on the quad lutz too right ?

 

[4everchan]

That reminds me...isn't Harley Windsor skating for South Korea now? Or did that not happen in the end?

done too...

 

[YuBluByMe]

Hm, if it wasn’t supposed to be a Batman program, I’ll probably like it more. It needs more raw energy, more passion. And the long preparations for the back-to-back 3As still drive me up the wall. Great 4S and he did well to stay upright on the 4T. He should be on the podium, though. But what color would it be?

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

Jun had me in the beginning, I won't lie, but that was just wonderful! That StSq was a thing of beauty and his ChSq was performed so well! He's hasn't had the easiest season, but this is an amazing way to get a SB! well done Jun!!

On the plus side, Jun's looking good

He had an ankle fracture 9/22 which required surgery. He was in Sochi working on pairs elements with Dmitri Savin and Fedor Klimov 3/23. Far as I know he has no partner currently.

Awww the flower crown!! Is No Name Face there?

Third place! He does it! He stays on the podium!

 

[readernick]

Yeah! Shun gets the silver. I think he is actually happy although you can't tell from his face. I always knew Yuma would win so no surprise there. Happy Jun did better here. Boyang was great. Andrew was beautiful~! Nice competition.

I didn't know that, bummer

I do remember seeing a post from him on Insta about a Korean pairs partner, but that was probably a while back...

I hope South Korea can get a pairs team though! (That reminds me, what ever happened to the North Korean pairs team? I liked those guys...)

 

[TallyT]

Jun made bronze and the good folk of Sendai will be happy tonight with women's gold and men's silver to two of their own.

 

[elektra blue]

Imo Jun has some beautiful qualities, but he hasn't had a really good program (=one I liked) since the fate of the clockmaker. Either they have weird cuts or they don't seem to fit him/choreo and music doesn't seem to fully match.

5:45 am good night. Congrats to all skaters.

Yes! He's landed some!

I did not know it until I looked it up on wiki

 

[YuBluByMe]

This was a great competition. The final group wasn’t as good as the SP, but that was a very high bar.

 

[icewhite]

Will Yuma finally get the recognition he deserves? So far he has mostly still be seen as a "talent", when really he outshines almost everyone else in figure skating.

 

[peese]

Time to hit the hay for me! Peace out y'all!! Pleasant weekend!

I wonder if the translation in English right now is going from the Japanese, or from the Chinese that's translated from the Japanese. If Google Translate has taught me anything translating a translation can only lead to madness
