2023 CS Autumn Classic Men's Free Skate

I know Donovan is recovering from injury but that 3Lo entry was weird. Many of the jumps look like corkscrews. Effect of coaching change?

I like the progression of music in Donovan's program. A nice, easy start with "Besame Mucho," and then the Casio preset beat for funky night at the geriatric mansion kicks in, followed by a samba song that reminds me of when I still had my original hips. Rousing!

And to think that a 21 year old man unironically chose all that music to honor Pedro Infante and to get all of us, young and old, moving in the final session.

Donovan always brings the best programs, which I unironically adore.

Sage the rink.

Just do your best, it's all anyone can ask

Well.. Rinky escaped and ate Donovan and feasting on our Spanish fellow ... will try to keep him away from Edrian... Donovan is super smooth and nice but he is very slow...

I don’t know but I think the coaching change will bring good things. If nothing else he has proper environment in which to train with no LTS students skating all around him in a shopping mall

I know it's strange to some of our ears, but that is Tomas-Llorenc's name.

For the longest time, Donovan was listed as "Donovan Daniel Carrillo Suazo" and I have been to comps where the announcer struggled valiantly to say his whole name.

I think it's cool.

Rinky said if a skater puts their hand on my ice, I am pulling them down...

 

[elektra blue]

Yes he won my heart and I love it. Such a fun song to dance to.

WTF program

 

[Carol1]

This is without a doubt the greatest program I've seen in the past decade. Horse noises, gun shots, whistlography, and ending with the greatest Rednex song of all time. If he adds chaps to his costume and drinks a whiskey in the K&C, I may die of ecstasy.

It’s Cotton Eyed Joe!

I'm pretty sure Adrien Tesson had it in his Cowboy program (which was the best, btw)
