2021 World Team Trophy - Day 1

[LadyB]

The only thing I almost always disagree with is when Yuzu has this oily hair and no particular hairdo... but hey, shouldn't be my problem really.

 

[rollerblade]

What is that green thing on Pooh?

 

[Jontor]

Go Nathan!

 

[auser]

Yes!
BRING BACK MARK!

loved Simon when he was with Nick, but confess to missing Mark H since RD earlier

 

[anonymoose_au]

Nathan has arrived.

Will he be able to top that?

 

[Seven Sisters]

Aww, baby Yuzu was so cute! (If the paddle photo is any indication)

 

[elektra blue]

olè

 

[LadyB]

Ay, ay, ay, ay, de mi corazon!!!!

Indeed I can't imagine Vincent getting any love after Worlds. They'd be more likely to send Alexei K or Andrew T or even Yaro over him

This is the US....

Vincent still won bronze at World's only two years ago...besides they're kinda used to meltdowns in the SP (even Nathan had one at the Olympics..)

I'm strangely amused by the chains on Nathan's pants they look like those keychain things people like me use so as not to leave our keys behind when leaving the house!

And Nathan decides to backload his 4-3 combo like a boss. (landing on 3T is kinda stiff though)

Looks at Nathan's TES.

Wow it's gonna be close!

The Japanese audience really enjoyed that too!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

It's so close... AAAHHHH. That was so good from both of them!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Wow - Way to respond, Nathan! I do like both programs, but I think that I like Hanyu's slightly more. Nathan has done better SPs in the past. It will be close!

 

[EdgeCall]

Jumps consistent as usual. PCS?

 

[Fluture]

Nothing in Nathan‘s SP works for me this year. This music with this choreo and a costume that totally meshes with the ice and makes him appear invisible at times?

But he sure has grown as a performer, although not to my personal taste. Good jumps, particularly the flip.

 

[Jontor]

Nathan clean!

He got the tech over Yuzu, but will it be enough?

 

[elektra blue]

Ay, ay, ay, ay, de mi corazon!!!!

i kind of like this music now, i blame figure skating for this

And Nathan decides to backload his 4-3 combo like a boss. (landing on 3T is kinda stiff though)

I actually think he decided that mid skate??
