For me Mikhail has great potential as a skater and he is brave enough to try 4Lz in each competiion and fall everytime.

Sorry for OT.

Potentially Mikhail has it all: amazing jumps (the hight ), wonderful speed, good spins, personality. It's just when everything falls in place it's great to watch him like in Helsinki SP, FS gone not so good there. Really hoping for good programmes this year.

Cute Yuzuru makes me think Eevee though...

My friend Marina said she finds Shoma the worst among top men (just above Nathan) after watching live. She said she is very bothered by his monotonous upper body movements. Her family is full of artistic people (her sister is a ballet dancer and now is teaching ballet). She thinks Zhenia looks better live than on tivi. 

 

My friend Margaret said she found Satoko flat in live competition. And that Boyang looks better live. So each person has their own taste.

 

Adelia said Marin looks nice in competition but other said Marin is noticeably more labored compared to Zhenia at Fantasy on ice.

After going to a couple of competitions I can definitely say your perception of a skater can change a lot when you watch them in person.

 

Yuzu and Patrick are probably two skaters where what you see in person matches or surpasses what you see on TV.

 

On the other hand, in person skaters like Kevin Reynolds are incredibly slow in person, as was Nam when I saw him in Boston. Evgenia during her step sequence is also slow compared to other ladies. Ashley Wagner's lack of movement with her actual feet and blades was also VERY obvious in her SP in Helsinki. In contrast I was able to appreciate Jason Brown's quality of movement a lot more in person than on TV. Mao when I saw her in Boston had an amazing ability to project, while her skating is smooth and effortless, she had a habit of slowing down going into her jumps. Mai Mihara's speed and smooth skating was also very apparent in person, she made me a bigger fan when I saw her live.

 

Jump size and speed is the one thing that is probably the most impressive in person since camera angles usually cut off part of the rink. When you're able to see all four sides of the boards you get a much better sense of how far someone has traveled horizontally on their jumps or with their steps. Katelyn Osmond's jumps are very impressive in person, as were Gabrielle Daleman. Even off the rink in person these skaters are incredibly small without their skates on. We saw both Kaetlyn and Gabby at hotel lobby after the ladies' free skate and both are incredibly skinny and on the short side, but also muscular and fit.

 

In other words, if you can find a chance to watch Yuzu (or any skating) live, I highly recommend it. I could watch Yuzu practice for hours.

I think what you said is actually in sync with others. Max laughed when he tried to describe Kevin Reynolds as "this...mess". Nam is even slow on screen.

Jason Brown was the one who actually got much praises as people watch him live. That's why I don't agree with Mishin regarding his comment about the number of quads make the performance exciting. Jason certainly has something to make people remember him. 

I have seen some people complained when they saw Mao during season 2015-2016 and last season too. So it is not like everyone will appreciate her. Polina Turskaya got quite hate for saying she did not see anything special in Mao. Of course, she saw Mao at her worst in GPF 2015, not Mao at her best.

Mai Mihara is even amazing on screen, I think she is the fastest Japanese lady, more than Wakaba and Marin. Now if Mai can improve her presentation and posture, she will be a force.

Same here. I really liked Jason in Helsinki - the way he moves across the ice and the way he projects his emotions. I also changed my mind about Satoko after watching her live at GPF - liked her musicality and overall performance (even if I still don't like her jumps).

I think someone found a broom... or was it a big vacuum cleaner (OUCH!)

 that's probably because Max and I were sitting together during practice for both Skate Canada and Helsinki and sometimes had the same reaction (we've talked about this a few times, too). Jason I can appreciate much better now, despite not being a fan of the programs his choreographer gives him. He's also extremely sweet in person, we met him in the hotel lobby too and he's very genuine - it's hard to not like him.

 

I was surprised by my impression of Mai and Wakaba in person. I had heard that Wakaba was known for her speed, she's not slow by any means but I feel her two programs last season didn't allow those abilities to shine through - on the contrary Mai's speed is very apparent. Marin I've never seen before, Satoko I've seen twice now and I enjoyed more at Skate Canada last year than I did at Boston but I think this is because I really love The Planets compared to her FS last year.

Her SP this year was not the greatest, definitely seemed over the top with the dress, the makeup/hair, the shoulder shimmies, and the music with very little skating substance to match.

 

HHCC last year was miles better and I'm glad she's bringing it back.
