I really like Paul Fentz's Pink Floyd program but gosh, does the costume really have to be that literal :scratch2:

Oh, I have never seen him before. Can you share a story about him?

"He is a bone marrow donor for his father, who was diagnosed with severe MDS in June 2015 and acute leukaemia a few month later." - Wikipedia

Therefore, he had to skip last season, and suffered some health problem himself in the aftermath of the operation.

I hate the new rule for falls, who said there's hardly any skates with more than two falls? :tantrum:

It is harsh, but I think I'm ok with it. Splatfests should never be rewarded and maybe some skaters will figure out it's better to not attempt a level of difficulty they know they may not be able to execute.

They don't close the boards at the exit/entry to the Kiss and Cry. Someone might just do a triple jump combo and jumped out of the rink.

What's the new rule regarding falls? I must have not been paying attention while vacationing at the Caribbean during the summer (sips Pina Kolyada)

Third fall gest -2.00. Fourth as well. That's why Samohin and Hino got -4.00 for three falls.

I hope the best for his father and him. He looks healthy and enthusiastic out there skating! Thank you for sharing the awesome story.

Not clean, but Majorov looked healthy and seemed to enjoy competing. After all efforts and sacrifice for his father, his appearance here just made me pleased to watch him.

I didn't know any of that back story, thank you very much for sharing! And all the best to Majorov and his father, good to see him competing again, he's so much fun :)

In a black glitter top with silver sparkle trim and matching belt buckle. Two major falls already. Not as elegant as his countryman, and his choreo isn't as intricate, but he shows glimpses of potential here and there. I wonder if they're training mates.

Fared better on the later jumps.

I would be okay with rule if it wasn't for quads already being punished more than other jumps. (I mean the -4.00 GOE).

We'll see how the season unfolds...I may change my mind if a bunch of guys who play it safe with all triples end up winning over those who don't. :noshake:
