2021 Skate Canada Challenge: Senior Men

Hmm. Ted likes the program. I don’t think it suits him. Too introspective and lyrical, and he’s neither.

Ah well, Ted likes bleedin' everything. He's not a benchmark

this song is a terrible snooze fest but Roman was great, i would rewatch him...after pressing mute

 

[rain]

A couple of glitches on the jumps, but Roman is just everything. Stunning, stunning performance. I'd put him first. His speed is just incredible. He looks like he's flying.

 

[LadyB]

Love Romsky's style, would be even better with a different top.

 

[Roo87]

Roman's spins....just wow

just say no to baby pink...or any pink

i think nam did better... it will be tight... roman will lose marks for the lack of combo on two repeated jumps... but he had a lead

 

[Seven Sisters]

I think the lovely Roman ran out of gas a bit towards the end, but still wonderful. I could happily just watch him spin for hours.
One thing I’ve always wondered though. Why just a double for the second jump in his combo? With the kind of loft he gets on his jumps, it seems to me he could easily triple it.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Agreed. Pink is not his color.

i think it has to do with his choice of repeated jumps and combos.. .we didn't see the combos, they ddin't happen.. but his second 4sal usually is followed by a 1EU-3sal ... and i think there is a 2nd 3 lutz that has a 3toe in the end... so one jump has to have a double...

so repeated jumps are 4s and 3lz... combos
3a-2t,
4s-eu-3s
3lz-3t

LOL... the saint-lawrence river is entirely in quebec... so either side of it, you stay in canada...

other side of the great lakes... that will do it

 

[elektra blue]

Wait! I'm coming with you!

hurry, before they catch us

 

[Seven Sisters]

Patrick being interviewed now. He says he’s been teaching skating skills for hockey players.
Imagine bringing your young hockey-player lad in for a couple lessons, and his instructor is...Patrick Chan. This boggles my mind.

 

[Ruthypegs]

Enjoyed that by Roman - he's gained a new fan!

i feel embarassed now, what a display of ignorance from me

 

[Ruthypegs]

So disappointed that Patrick's not returning to skating.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Wait! I'm coming with you!

Me too!
Let’s see if the American lads can top the excellent skating we’ve already seen today.

 

[Ruthypegs]

Me too!

And me!
