2022 Four Continents: Men's Short Program

Ouch these judges are not very forgiving... also is it just me or does Jordan look a bit like Adam Rippon? I think it's the haircut

No I noticed that as well.

Should I be surprised that Ilia isn't here? In this field, he would get a good amount of extra ranking points and give him more international exposure on the senior circuit before Worlds.

He’s first alternate. US for the most part aren’t sending their first alternates. Except randomly not in pairs, in ice dance

Zambonis have left the ice! Group 2 is incoming, which means Sergei Vonorov is too as he coaches the Kazhk men.

Yeah, I was hoping for a Ilia vs Kao pre-JW face off. Oh well...

I suspect USFS were seriously concerned about the possibility of Jason testing positive after Tracey did, and wanted to keep Ilia on standby.

Yes. Typed pairs but meant ice dance.

Ah, interesting. I suppose they want to play it safe, though I would have risked it for Ilia here. Like, Green/Parsons are getting a lot out of being here.

Yes. I meant Green/Parsons and dance. Not pairs.

Ah, Jordan just posted on Twitter that he had a 2nd knee surgery last year and the plague a month ago, and was semi-retired mid-last year. 2 weeks training for 4CC. I hope he decides to continue to Sydney for a farewell.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Good luck Kao! And Sihyeong! And Corey!

 

[moonvine]

Jimmy’s skating last??

 

[Ichatdelune]

Siserelly? Chris also butchers Italo-Canadian names as well?

On Sihyeong's name, a solid B-. Sihyeong, Chris.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Siyeeng? Ouch I'm sorry Ichat

Also I'm not sure even I approve of this bowtie arrangement.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Siyeeng? Ouch I'm sorry Ichat

At least it wasn't something like S-eye-he-yong, so I gave him a B-

This program feels like a nightmare involving clowns and France but you can't wake up
