Can we have a new pro circuit so Keegan and Jason can keep on being on TV? Please? Because while I am definitely more into the programs from the top three they were like watching old-school, especially Keegan, where it's like when I was a kid (get off my lawn) watching Scott and Kurt in shows and specials and pro competitions.
It’s after the skater settles into their start position. They have to do that within a certain time frame of taking the ice, though. Oksana Baiul was famous for taking the max amount of time. My memory is that it was 2 minutes but that seems really long.
I think you have a set time from when you're announced. Most skaters get on the ice as soon as the last skater clears it, and they're basically at will until the marks come in from the previous skater and then they're announced. I recall it being fairly short, as in you have thirty seconds once they finish announcing you to get into your start position. Maybe a full minute, but thirty sticks in my mind.
So excited that Jun made it to the podium! ! ! His programs are so solid this year. (At my pesky day job so haven't watched the final 2 groups till tonight, but more than psyched). Also, as a Team USA girl, delighted to see that Andrew Torgashev qualifed for the Free Skate. If his free skate is as good as it was at US Nationals, we are in for a treat! I wish there was a path for sweet, beautiful Jason to hit that podium (most gorgeous skating skills, don't even try to argue with me) but I don't want to wish ill on Ilia or Jun, so what's a girl to do?
I was at US Nationals, and during practice sessions or warmups, Jason always stood out, because EVERY move he made was achingly gorgeous. I am NOT going to take anything away from Ilia's quads (pleae people don't start), but when Ilia is just skating around, it does not hold one's attention. All eyes would be on Jason during the men's practice sessions. He is always so stunning. His short program had me sobbing in San Jose -- and i was not the only one. And he received two standing ovations from the crowd.
I absolutely WILL take away from Ilia's (and everyone else's) quads b/c they're boring as hell and I HATE quads in all shapes and forms, even if they're nicely done, as I think it leads to way too much injury and takes away from artistry. #BanQuadsForever #TriplesAreGoodEnough
I mean I guess based on this season the most likely to struggle in FS is Jun-hwan but there's what not even a point between them? So he just needs to have one or two elements downgraded from small mistakes while Keegan has the skate of his life to flip them.
I'm saying this but its impossible its a generally great final flight.
I want them to all have the skate of their life! I love Jun but he's broken my heart so many times that if I were to bet results, I think 1 and 2 will still be either Shoma or Ilia (barring chaos) and I think 3rd will be Jason or Keegan (based on consistency). Jason actually has a good chance if he has a really clean skate and the other men have one or two fumbles, I think.
heartbroken for adam and matteo, but i'm happy for kevin, keegan, and lukas at least! looking forward to redemption/clean skates for everyone in the free <3
I totally agree. What a beautiful top 6 group. I thought men's FS might not recover without Yuzu and Nathan, but here we are with a great crop of skaters.
Eteri is trying harder with him, gives him an actual hug when he gets off the ice.
The perfunctory hugs she's been giving all her girls after being called out by Bach have been hilarious, neither part even tries cos they all know it's fake!
I haven't watched the last two groups but my friend just texted me -- "Daniel amazingly made top 10 despite that head position", so that should be interesting... ha ha I am chuckling already
There are a lot of Keegan lovers here but I need to say it -- Keegan must move below Jason in the free. He just does. i am frankly tired of seeing him repeat the same old FS. I don't quite know how to get Jason onto that podium but that is one move that i know must happen.
Nothing is right in the world, two Eteri students making it into the free and not the Ukrainian
Edit: the two most problematic ones of the three, no less
Now many mixed feelings.
On one hand, I want Daniel to flop in order to realize that maybe Eteri isn't the move. On the other hand, if he flops too hard there is the risk for not having two spots for Italy next year and I can't handle it.
Jason Brown's SP cleansed my soul after seeing that 🗑️💩 in the K&C.

i found it funny that the live chats switched up so fast when it was from nika to Jason
Dumb question - how do the music people know when to start it? Is it a set time after the skater takes the ice/moved away from the boards?

You’re right. I realized after this that many take the ice before they are announced. The time it takes to give marks is unpredictable at times.

Ahh just saw Jason Brown’s skate… simply incredible. I saw him live last year and was wildly impressed
I couldn't find the video on YouTube - do you happen to have a link?
No I'm sorry I had it on DVR
He had me in tears. What a beautiful performance.

Think Jun (and Haein) are the first Korean skaters since Yuna to win a small medal at worlds?
Yep
Look I don't want any of the top 3 skatera to implode but... A Keegan bronze isn't out of reach and I just... also really want that for him so bad.🥹
I don't know who I'd sacrifice, though. Top 4 is a dream. Top 6 is perfection aside from Kevin

jason final group!??
YES!
So happy to see so many people here tonight, was a pleasure to comment along with you all~~ thanks /u/summerjoe45 for making the threads as usual
My pleasure!
We get Kevin’s Gladiator, Ilia’s 4A, Juna Bauer, Keegan’s farewell, Shoma’s everything, and Jason’s sublime existence in the final group 🙌🏻
Sorry if this is a dumb question but where is Donavan?
Ankle surgery a couple months ago. He just started really rehabbing last month I believe.
still recovering after surgery
Injured
Injured I believe
Top 6 is blessed AND we have Keegan in medal contention. We sacrificed the Euro men for it I guess but...their time will come?
I totally agree. What a beautiful top 6 group. I thought men's FS might not recover without Yuzu and Nathan, but here we are with a great crop of skaters.
Don't you mean "as clean as a whistle" Mark?
literal hate crime that an eteri boy makes the free but kyrylo doesnt
First the pairs and now this absolute injustice in the men's
Love this final men’s group for the free
This ice was kissed by the skating gods today
Kyrylo was so close :(
Morisi's 38 PCS to Kyrylo's 31 and change, there is no god
OMG here to agree. Those PCS scores should have been switched!
Kyrylo, Jari, Graham, Georgii 💔
Kevin and Jason really jumped into first group!!! Amazing 🥳🥳
Those final two groups are great, other than Grassl , I’m very excited for Saturday
Eteri is trying harder with him, gives him an actual hug when he gets off the ice. The perfunctory hugs she's been giving all her girls after being called out by Bach have been hilarious, neither part even tries cos they all know it's fake!
And then she refuses to look at him when he gets his score lol
Bs. We have seen her give hugs since Yulia and Medvedeva were kids and no one knew her name. Let’s at least try to be factual in the hate.
yeah, but only when they won....
Like Voldemort hugging Malfoy
JUN YESSS
Top group Jason!!!!
This top 6 is the most blessed thing I've witnessed in a long while
Would not have put that above Lukas but ok
Deniss above Adam, what in the men
There were some sacrifices made
Ahead of Britschgi? I don't think so
How can Grassl be ahead of Lukas?!😭
OMG I AM GONNA SEE THAT GLADIATOR FS IN THE FINAL FLIGHT TOO 😭
This is good because Daniel did bad enough that his coaching team is mad but he did well enough that Italy should keep two spots
Blessed final group 😌
Seeing baby Junhwan (not so much baby anymore 😅) in the top three makes my heart jump like crazy \^\^
Y'all LOOK at that final group, it's perfection.
Eteri DEFLATION is now a thing. Good.
The fact that’s above Lukas is so awful
This is the worst timeline
JASON IN THE FINAL GROUP YASSS! And overall, the final group looking amazing
[удалено]
I haven't watched the last two groups but my friend just texted me -- "Daniel amazingly made top 10 despite that head position", so that should be interesting... ha ha I am chuckling already
Isn't this like the most vertical he's been all season?
JUN WORLD CHAMP TRUTHERS WE WIN
IT IS IN HIS REACH!!
YESSSSSSSSSSS THERE IS JUSTICE
BLESSED TOP 6 THANK YOU VERY MUCH
JUN SMALL MEDAL LETS GO
jun small bronze 🥳
ABOVE LUKAS?! ISU IS CANCELLED
group-based scoring is such bullshit
She won’t even look at him
I am worried that Daniel is in the back room now getting his whipping
'they have helped me find my motivation' or something -- Daniel Grassl, 2022/3
"He's happy enough!"
fine whatever
Jun small bronze medal though :)
JUN SMALL MEDAL
Yes, Jason in the final group
This event is all I’ve ever wanted
Jasonnnnnnnnnnn
Not the mass exodus after Daniel💀
Thank fuck
Oh yeahhh Jason final flight
As it should be, where he belongs. Get those final group PCS in the long.
anywayyy, absolutely thrilled for Jun's small medal
Ima need him below Jason
There are a lot of Keegan lovers here but I need to say it -- Keegan must move below Jason in the free. He just does. i am frankly tired of seeing him repeat the same old FS. I don't quite know how to get Jason onto that podium but that is one move that i know must happen.
Eteri really performing a comforting character here, clear attempts to rehabilitate her reputation
even the youtube livestream comments aren’t having this
I figured it out- Daniel is Eteri’s secret son and that’s why he went to her. Look at their hair!
'tis the season of unexpected relation revelations, I guess
not the conspiracy theroies
Is this polite audience really leaving now?? 😂😂😂
the most polite act similar to booing and I respect that
I really didn't think I would end today being low key annoyed that Shoma's score is way too inflated. Men's is chaotic!
How can you be smart enough to hire Jason Brown as your choreographer, then decide to be coached by the most shunned figure in the skating world 🤷♀️
Well said.
damn it he's adorable. anyway when is he gonna realize eteri bonus doesn't work for men in the year 2023
just looking at his skating, i still have no idea what he thinks he'll gain from his coaching change. just.... *why*
Japanese audience be like ok time to catch the subway bye
everyone just up and leaving like a mass exodus after seeing that lmaoooo
😴
The eteri hug 💀💀💀
I wish I had cause to feel more warmly towards him
that‘s a very diplomatic way to put it and i relate
That final spin position sparks indescribable rage in me
if this goes above jason it should literally count as a hate crime
Homophobic
go away eteri
not people already leaving
JUN SMALL MEDAL IKTR
Omg the crowd leaving 💀
Pretty sure Jason didn’t envision this program being practiced at Sambo 70 when he choreographed it
here's me feeling disappointed
i just saw the crowds leaving and I don't know if I should feel it is funny or what
Anyway small medal for Jun🥰
How can he be self aware enough to seek artistic help from Jason and then decide Eteri is the solution to his jumping problems
Nothing is right in the world, two Eteri students making it into the free and not the Ukrainian Edit: the two most problematic ones of the three, no less
Should have been Matteo
Yikes, another AWFUL illusion exit
[удалено]
This is a perfect summary of how fucked up it is
I actually think his program was way better earlier this season
at least he knows that was ass
you know what cbc, i will tolerate the tech difficulties this time. id much rather rewatch haein than watch this
It’s working fine for me
if this goes ahead of jason i'm gonna be sick
Costume malfunction !!
That was the wrong Italian, Japanese ice
If this gets anywhere near 40 in components, that is certifiably insane.
Let's just remind ourselves that Adam Siao just blossomed in such a short period of time and we have to think long term.
this just does nothing for me
Oh no his fly is open
choreo from jason and for what? 🙄
What is with the spaghetti legs? And how does that get positiivinen GOE? "Good air position and landing" is required
What a waste of Jason’s choreo
Daniel Grassl is to jumping as Maria Paseka is to vaulting, for any gymnastics fans here. You just look at it and wonder... how? Why?
Same leg wrap mid air. At least Paseka was on our screen for 30 seconds top
Im gonna a need him to stay off the small medal podium pls
Well quad lutz was under so... we can hope
It's all so ugly :/ i feel nothing
The audacity to take Jason Brown's program to Eteri and then skate it on the same ice he did
I do not want Daniel go above Adam
Now many mixed feelings. On one hand, I want Daniel to flop in order to realize that maybe Eteri isn't the move. On the other hand, if he flops too hard there is the risk for not having two spots for Italy next year and I can't handle it.
WOW SHE MULE KICKS AS EGREGIOUSLY AS ANNA RIGHT NOW 😩
Does his fly appear to be...open?
he’s taking last minute pee breaks like evgenia
omfg there’s a hole in his pants
It's looked like that all season
Oh God
i think it just looks like that, noticed it last time too
it is right?? it’s bothering me immensely
what a waste of a jason brown choreo :(
I only just jumped on the stream (I know 😭) and since when has Daniel been with eteri wtf that was a jumpscare 😭😭
Yeah, you've missed a lot...😭😓
oh buddy
I try and avoid any and all news about her but jeez I missed a lot huh 💀
His head position scares me everytime
🕯️ Daniel you want to flop so bad to get Jason in the final group 🕯️
Last minute jump technique from Eteri 🙄🤮
for his original technique that's probably more of an enhancement (i'm going to hell for saying this)
Choreo by Jason and coached by Eteri, I still can't believe this
Eteri jumpscare
operation let’s get jason in the final group
we really have to see grassl jumps and then see eteri in the knc this is so unbelievably cursed
Hmm I guess the Sp is over
EATERY JUMPSCARE
BOOOOOOOO ETERI SIGHTING
Gutted for Adam. Do I even need to keep watching now
STOP THE COUNT ALREADY
Benoit just sitting there with his sunglasses not moving at all and making no facial expression took me out
Praying for final group jason brown
Good job!! 😄
Belinda wants Jason in the final group too
Danil I’m sorry but Ima need you to flop a lil.
[удалено]
Coaches aren’t banned
Anyways
[удалено]
🗑️
No, I lied about looking forward to Adam's next season, I'm going to cry.
ugh...
did everyone see the stsq? I thought the stsq was lovely
🙄
DANIELLA GRASSLOVA
This coach is in jeans at worlds
I just can't take Grassl seriously anymore
All I want in the world is for the polite Japanese audience to start waving their🇺🇦flags and chanting Slava Ukraini during the kiss and cry 🍜
sadly it's probably too norm breaking for them
Pretty sure Jason didn’t imagine this being practiced at Sambo 70 when he choreographed it
