Good looking young man. Restrained use of sparkles on his black jumpsuit. Reminds me of videos I've seen of John Curry. Problems on the jumps- hard fall on his half loop combo

WFT IS UP WITH THE TITLE CARD GO AWAY LET ME SEE THE SKATING.

butt spin. Smiles at the end :clap:

Deniss's music...

Oh Daniel, please don't make me regret losing sleep to watch you. Although my expectations for a decent skate are low...very low.

Yay, SequinsGalore is here! :cheer:

Bela Papp

Wearing practice clothes. Nailing the jumps right out of the gate.... until I jinxed him. Sorry.
Powerful style, but doesn't pay as much attention to the music as Koppel. Still, there was a really nice part in the first SS, and the second techno SS was miles ahead of some of the hip hop SDs we've been seeing. Good final spin.

After Aaron and Vasiļjevs, I feel like I must see the film Tron.

Oh, boy. So far Daniel has skated 4 disastrous programs out of 4 this season. Where did the fugly costume go from the Autumn Classic? I don't know what is going on...what did he do all summer? I don't like to be harsh on a skater I like so much, but for the reigning junior world champion, this is not an acceptable level at all, imo. :palmf:

Daniel Samohin

...in black practice clothes. What happened to his glorious jumpsuit?! I loved that hot mess, I hope it's not gone for good :sad21:
His jumps are faring better than the last time I saw him, but that's not saying much. He's such a good character skater. What an elegant pop. And another. I'd say I jinxed him, but this seems to be his new normal bless his heart. I appreciate him going crazy for his last SS, but maybe not so crazy that you have to keep putting hands down?

Rough skate. I hope he gets sorted soon, I like his style.

Daniel... so he decided to change his costume to a simpler one. He did better at ACI imo but danced nicely at the chsq:hap10:.

At least Daniel ditched the previous costume for the program. That was a good decision.

Omg that was painful to watch.... the music and concept of being a magician is interesting, but obviously not competition ready. I hope he did not get injured from this outing.
