2018 Rostelecom Cup Men's Free Skate

[rei00]

Well I'm new here. And I just wanted to say -
When I last time attended gp live, Lipnitskaya skated for the last time (you all remember, don't you?) and Shoma skated crap without sequences. Here I am again, for my beloved Hanyu, and well...
I'm starting to think I can jinx events. I'm so sorry guys!!! XD

 

[viennaskater]

Thank God its over...

Why? did you not enjoy it?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well I am utterly confused and sad yet delighted, it's saddening that Yuzuru fell and another version of NHK happened, but Kazuki got bronze and I would celebrate with ramen and beer if I didn't have the extra tutoring session tomorrow. And whoa ID starts soon, please hurry mr. bus driver

 

[Ziotic]

You know it’s been messy when someone come 7th in short, 6th in free and 5th overall....

 

[Ichatdelune]

Depends on how IDF shakes out with Samarin, but his chances are good.

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!:eeking::eeking:

 

[NoNameFace]

30 pts in predictions, that pretty much sums it up...

 

[hanyuufan5]

So... any chance for Mikhail at the Final?

No

 

[DanseMacabre]

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!:eeking::eeking:

It's the men's competition. Literally anything can happen.

 

[Jaana]

So this means...Junhwan is basically in?

It seems so...

I think it was disgusting to watch how Kvitelashvili was totally overscored in technical elements, while almost every jump should have gotten a bit minus. Anyway, congratulations for the silver and especially to Tomono for the bronze, WOW! Hanyu of course was the big winner, so great!!!

Are you kidding?

No. He was great and totally committed.

My Misha smiled and that’s all I needed today GPF happens every year.

Kazuki was the star of the show for me!

Kazuki bronze!! Well-deserved, congratulations! :hap93:

Yuzu won by 30 points anyway for the lulz I'm sad, not gonna lie, but also very proud of him for pulling a layout he didn't practice at all, and after the quite bad fall on the 4Lo in practice. I would say Otonal is the programme that improves the most, but this (minus axels trouble) is the best he got into Origin. The choreographic sequence at the end was better, and everything before the first axel fall was sharper too. Keep improving Yuzu, I think Origin still has more room to grow (side note: 3A you sneks, and I just knew that 4T-eu-3S was gonna snake him. Give it up Yuzu it's unrequited love :curse

Also, not to jinx him, but Junhwan's chance at GPF just got exponentially bigger (as long as Nathan doesn't flop France)

My brain is not ready for this, but oh my god I miss a competition and Kazuki gets on the podium and my darling has a chance to go to finals I need to not watch or something

 

[Tolstoj]

Congrats Morisi for his first medal at a senior GP event.

 

[kevinVchicago]

So... any chance for Mikhail at the Final?

No, he's out. Messing's in sixth with 20 points. Mikhail finished with 18.

 

[hanyuufan5]

Are you kidding?

He finished just off the podium in both of his events. I thought maybe there was a chance he could end up an alternate or something. No need for the .

Heck, depending on what happens in France, Boyang could make the final still. He just needs to come at least second with a tie breaker to bear Keegan, and hope that Samarin doesn’t win...

 

[century2009]

I woke up for this... I should have slept through it. Congrats everyone!

I dont know if it is worth it watching the women. It has to be better than the men's right????
