"Pretty nifty weekend I'd say �� Just got back from Finland, did some pretty sick stuff out there. �� And some stuff that we can forget about. �� Time to give it at Skate Canada! ✌️": https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mvBLfJOEq/

Roman's Finlandia LP was aired on Finnish television (no SPs were broadcast, as far as I can tell): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMjxV0GFIp8

The jokes about the height difference between Shoma and Roman don't stop :laugh: : https://twitter.com/StickSkating/status/1183774667984818176

https://twitter.com/japaneseperson/status/1183169530459234310 I can totally relate to Shoma here because that's my exact facial expression whenever I'm around tall people. :p

I have a friend who doesn't follow figure skating, but when she saw this image, she said that it looked like a cute Hobbit meeting a pretty Elf for the first time! :rofl: (J.R.R. Tolkein describes his Elves as being at least 6 ft tall, beautiful and elegant, so that describes Roman perfectly. ;) )

I don't know if I'll be able to upload more 1080p practices because I've noticed that the archived livestreams from earlier today have suddenly disappeared from SC's Dailymotion channel, so I won't be able to download anything. :sad21:

I sincerely hope Roman can redeem himself in the free skate, which is a few hours from now. :pray:

I like Roman.
He is like Marin Honda to me.
Beautiful skate, just some problem with jumps. I want to see his no fall skating on SP/LP.

I'm glad that you can still appreciate his skating despite the jump errors. I've been his fan long enough to know that he has trouble controlling his nerves during a competition. *sighs* His scores in both segments were a bit lower than at last year's SCI.

So far, the only good-quality SCI Roman-related vids that I could find from TSN's television broadcast is a new promo, a brief clip while he's waiting for his turn to skate, and his LP. If more content shows up, I'll of course share it with you guys.


SCI LP Warm-Up Clip + Promo :love: (TSN 720p, 59 fps): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7njlt1

We don't often see him perform split jumps. His facial expression at the end is soulful, which is different from the cheerful grin he had in last year's clip. (Here's the old promo, in case anyone wanted a reminder: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6x16xb )

I saw Roman in person at SC. I’ve had my eye on him the last couple of seasons, but seeing him live for the first time made me appreciate his qualities even more. He really stood out to me in the men’s competition, despite his issues with some of the jumps. He has such a natural beautiful expressiveness about him, as well as power and strength and musicality. He’s becoming one of my favorites in men’s, and I look forward to seeing him in the years to come.

I've just obtained some videos of TSN's SCI Men SP, and here are the Roman-related ones:


Pairs SP & Men SP Opening Montage (720p): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nxhr0

SP Warm-Up Clip (TSN 720p, 59 fps): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nuqk8 He's the main focus in the latter part of the video.

SP (TSN 720p, 59 fps): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nuoij


I can't be certain, but I think that's all the Canadian televised footage of him this time around. He received slightly less screen time compared to the 2018 SCI (his Q&A fluff wasn't broadcast, while last year we had the Romsky vlog fluff), and there's less bonus material as well (no interviews, for instance).


Here's my playlist of his SCI-related vids: https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x6isz1



It's not important, but I did add this short clip of Roman sharing a few words with his coach before his long program to my previous post. I didn't notice it before because it was shown during another skater's kiss & cry.

:2thumbs: I 100% agree with you that his skating is even more sublime in person. :bow:

"To those who understand, do you think he's still alive? �� Waiting for chapter 124 �� #AOT #isayamahajime #mood #levi" https://www.instagram.com/p/B41D3HHJSh5/

I don't understand the reference, but Roman plays a piano piece in the video.

I was so annoyed by Rod Black's voice-over during Roman's new SCI promo that I decided to teach myself some minor video editing, and I replaced the original audio with music that is used during the animated intro for TSN's figure skating coverage. I couldn't decide which section of the music that I liked best, so I made three different versions.


Promo Variation #1: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nvnok This features the beginning of the animated intro's music; the melody is at its softest.

Promo Variation #2: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nvpof This features the middle of the animated intro's music; the melody is at its most dynamic and is constant throughout.

Promo Variation #3: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nvssw This features the end of the animated intro's music; it almost sounds the same as variation #2, except that the melody winds down in the last few seconds.


In my opinion, Roman somehow looks even prettier in the promo :love: without Rod Black's distracting voice.

2019 NHK SP (No Commentary 1080p):


2019 NHK Men SP Group 1 Introduction (No Commentary 1080p):



Roman had two jump errors (including missing the combo :bang: ), yet his score was good enough for 4th place. I'm totally shocked (but in a good way!) and I'm utterly thrilled that for the first time in his career, he finished in the Top 5 in any segment at a Grand Prix event!!! :hap85: Since he'll be in the final group for the free skate, the main NBC network (which is my sole source of figure skating television coverage for most of the GP series) may broadcast his performance Sunday afternoon if he has a decent outing.


I almost forgot this NHK Team Canada promo vid where Roman is the final skater featured: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqpBNh_vNUw


The last time he competed in Japan was at the 2016 JGP Yokohama, so I thought it was appropriate to share this adorable clip of him from 3 years ago requesting his Japanese fans to "Please love me." :luv17: https://twitter.com/gigiklossowski/status/1153662902416449538

I just woke up (I tried to get up early for the men's free skate, but it's Saturday and I stayed in bed), and I'M HYSTERICAL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE ROMAN WON THE BRONZE, HIS FIRST GP MEDAL!!!!!! :yahoo: :dance3: :hap57: He shattered his previous Personal Best score in this segment by 13.27 points, and his total score by 13.64!


Here's his NHK long program as posted by the ISU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EybhBi5TsHc


It's going to take a few hours (at least) for me to calm down! :laugh:


ETA: BTW, I'm mortified that the ISU misspelled his surname (Sadowsky) in the thumbnail of his official video. :palmf: No wonder he prefers "Romsky."

I saw him in Skate Canada, but this was like completely different skating. I am speechless! Wow, both him and Nguyen are picking up steam this year, fingers crossed!

Many congrats to Roman and his fans for his podium finish at NHK Trophy this weenend! :hb:

I was very very impressed by his two performances. His free skate was so beatiful. And his spins! :love::love: Isn't this his very first senior GP medal? He must be over the moon. :)
