Great job Torgashev!

Is it the haircut or the expression that makes me think him and Shmuratko have something in common?
(I would so change that haircut, though.)

I love this program for Andrew

 

[skatingguy]

Beautiful short program, and performance from Andrew. I would like to see more ice coverage on the jumps because it would help to create some flow in the program, and up the GOE & PCS.

Andrew clean again! Jumps were better than Nationals, but the step sequence didn’t have the same fire. He can be a little tired which is more than understandable. This is a great program for him.

Torgashev skating with more attack than usual. I would have liked to see a little more patience on some of the movements, but that is a minor quibble about an otherwise fantastic program.

Hey yeah you're right! The two of them really throw everything into the program.

Oo into first by quite a way, good on you, Andrew!

GASP Donovan!!!

Yelled woo hoo so loud thank goodness my neighbors are away. Great spins, inventive choreo performance . I love Andrew's skating and so happy to see him at 4cc.

DONOVAN!!!!

LOOOOL Donovan's bringing sexy back.

He and Leona should have a skate off.

Wow! Huge air on that jump but alas he didn't land it. But he's got the 3A down!

Donovan coming back from injury skating to Sexy Back is perhaps the most iconic thing ever. I don't think his consistency is quite back yet, but hopefully his new training base in Canada can help. Every aspect of his skating seems improved since his injury.

son: that doesn't sound like typical figure skating music either, the music is rather unconventional today?

(He's just listening in the background.)

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Shame about the jumps but Donovan is always pleasure to watch

[moonvine]

Donovan, you already brought sexy back.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ah yes the million dollar smile!

That reminds me I went to a trivia about world flags on the cruise I was on and I totally blanked on the Mexico flag and said it was the Italian one! LOL fail.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

One day my friend Donovan you are going to go clean and bring the roof down

Generally I love unconventional figure skating music....but not Schindler's List...or that Hanging Tree song...

Go, Yudong!
