Why is Goku stopping? Wrong music?

and suspended again!

OK, that was one odd mix of music. A Fleetwood Mac song that I'm not particularly fond of, Come and Get Your Love, which I adore and Sam perked up on, and I don't know the last one.

Too bad about the falls and choppy jumps, but still performance chops to spare.

He will still need to clean it up…yesterday was so great but apparently today not so? I’m like 2 skaters behind.

Bring back Ice Network!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't they just mute instead of blocking the whole thing?

Skate was much cleaner yesterday, and I liked the Bollywood type music better than this mishmash.

Still the Sam charm, however.

YouTube? I wish they would.

His SP music by DakhaBrakha is contemporary Ukrainian folk music.

Agree on the charm.

 

[moonvine]

Really? Everybody and his dog has skated to “Fix You” and you suspend a stream with what, 19 people watching?

Thanks for the tip about Sam's charming SP. Found the video here:

Man Sam is so hot. I did check his age to make sure I could have that opinion. And he was at Philly 2022!

Paniot didn't come to mess around. He has three arrows on the back of his shirt pointing to his butt, which he wiggled intensely during the step sequence. This program and costume will certainly be iconic and referenced decades from now. The only other program this season so far that made such an impact was the free by Guarino Sabaté from Spain.

There is a sliver of Yaroslav Paniot looking hot too here:

Great job, Yaro! He is happy with his skate too. His jumps have always been impressive, performance, all there.

But I don't like Queen, didn't like them in the 70s, don't like them now. An outlier, I know.

 

[moonvine]

I'm still back on Goku.

 

[moonvine]

See @el_henry, should have gone to Philly. Coulda seen Sam.

 

[midori green]

Looking ahead to the women, I've always had a hard time with Hannah Herrera vs Hanna Harrell.

 

[el henry]

Also I unironically love Yaro's costume. I do like a costume that looks like a costume, rather than a shirt and pants picked up on the way to the rink. Yaro has the swagger to pull it off.

If one is going to skate to Queen, one should be like Yuhana Yokoi and skate to "Fat Bottomed Girls." That was iconic.
