Only saw men’s event live so far by the virtue of it starting at 3 am for me & everything else... earlier, lol. And now I have to hoof it to work. Can’t wait to watch everything else. Kinda thinking about pulling an all-nighter to watch the free skates, because why not, it decides the spots in the final.
I’m giddy to see both Aymoz and Voronov putting out fab skates. Aymoz in the final would be awesome, I favour him strongly over Brown, sorry not sorry.
Poor Ignatov got retribution PCS scoring, oh, well, it’s another one of those ‘triple axel will kill you’ kind of thing. I guess, if he landed it, he still would not have ended in the hopeful pool due to the ‘your name is not Jason’ PCS.
Heartbroken that Hiwatashi could not pull off that short again. It looks pretty cool.
Hanyu is a demigod, confirmed, reconfirmed, etc. I feel it’s almost unfair that he doesn’t surprise anyone with excellence.
Edit: I feel that since nobody mentions Sadovsky, I have to mention Sadovsky.
You know you’re entitled to your opinions about Jason but your repeated bashing of him in various threads is really tacky and happens to be against forum rules.
I’ll tune it down.
Huh, I didn't see any bashing in your post?? I'm sure I've seen similar comments about other skaters and no one reprimanded the authors of those posts. Double standards, I guess.
However, I don't think Ignatov got what you call 'retribution PCS'. His PCS was the same as last week at Rostelecom Cup, and that was in Russia and with only a minor mistake/wobble on the 3A, not a downgrade + fall.
I’ll tune it down. Edited the post so it omits mentioning him. If you have any other post in mind that you feel he is being bashed by me, let me know, I will edit out the mentions or use a more neutral tone.
I'm so happy! Yuzu, Sui/Han, Papadakis/Cizeron and Kostornaia were all perfect, simply perfect. 3 well deserved WRs today and imo it should have been also a WR for Yuzu (from his reaction I think this is also his opinion).
A word about Yokoi's program. Seeing it on the broadcast with lots of close up detail, I could see all of the outrageous faces she was making. This is a super camp program, and uniquely out of many ladies this season, she seems to know exactly what camp is, and does the choreo with full gusto. It's terrible, but it's supposed to be and she is loving it. I couldn't help but laugh. A comedic program for a girl is so risky, and I'm sure there may not be many who like it or get it. But I want to say to Yuhana-chan, I got ya. -The other lady who could do camp program with panache was Radionova. -How I miss her.
EDIT: I looked at the competition thread, and it seems that Yokoi's program was during a stream outage?? Aww, you guys missed it. So I won't have people agreeing or disagreeing with me on the subject. Please watch it and tell me what you think.

A married television executive has many mistresses. Nine of the mistresses and his wife band together and plan to kill him. His wife tells him they are planning to kill him and they fake his death at a meeting of all ten women using a pistol loaded with blanks and a tomato.
The other women tell her that they were not really serious about killing him and run away. One of the women, Miwako, commits suicide, and her ghost comes back to view the proceedings. Then they find out that he is not really dead, and they decide to kill him again.
His wife divorces him and one of the other women takes him on.
This is what Mr. Perfectionist himself said after the SP:3 well deserved WRs today and imo it should have been also a WR for Yuzu (from his reaction I think this is also his opinion).
Biggest surprise today: Kevin DIDN'T cry after his skate
Gutted for Jason Brown but 2 falls isn’t going to cut it ... great program but shame shame shame on the judges who gave 9’s with 2 major errors.
I personally calls Yuhana Yokoi short as "mistress program".
It is comedy drama soundtrack, a wife and 9 mistress plot together killing a man.
I felt really sorry for Nicole and Matteo who didn't have a good skate and a botched lift, but to me it's incomprehensible why they are behind skaters with missing pivots, falls and everything. .
Simple answer is that a botch lift is the worst possible mistake in pairs. The BV of the lifts is over 7 points and with GOE teams are getting 9 to 11 points on that one element. Botching SBS jumps cost teams 3/4 points . Bad death spiral... around the same... Bad spins a few points... but lifts...any team who botches a lift ( especially in the short) is going to have a very very bad day.
