Well I don't like him either....and I can kind of classify why:

1) Jumps a bit on the stiff side with next to no flow coming out

2) That was an odd pancake spin...

3) He's trying to extend, which is great, but he lacks the flexibility for the extensions

4) The artistry is music, but not much else...

 

Boy's got a lot to work on....

5) that fratboy manner

All this but also. I think, I got it. He reminds me Lysacek

Nah, not really, I think his build makes him appear more fratboy than he is. True fratboys don't figure skate. It too girly for them. =D

Spare me. I have no idea why I totally dislike him. 

 

I don't dislike him - he was so cute being happy when he got into gpf last season that it'd take a lot for me to dislike him - but I dislike his skating. Ever since I first saw him live at jgp Poland 2015. He just sermed heavy. Here he skates through this monumental piece like speedy gonzalez, so chaotic and completely without the feel for the music, movements sharp and unfinished, and I just want to see Denis Ten.

I think Lysacek had slightly better spins...at least his free leg didn't dip down in a camel....and he tried hard to get his sit spins low enough.

I'm so sorry for Mitsuki! With a first and a fourth place he could still qualify but it's abt the other guys now ...

I miss Denis too. 

 Of cause, it's all about skating. No personal hating:-)

Well Mitsuki still has a chance right? Isn't his score now above Roman Savosin?

 

Tonight, the ones I liked were actually Koshiro, Basar and Artur...the others guys all felt a bit off. And the jumps always felt off for the other men tonight, a lot of distance, not that much height, the arc looked funny....

Koshiro was charming And "just did it... with the music" (c)

there's still a chance..? kind of 

 

There is..I should be more optimistic

It will depend on Erokhov, Pulkinen, Torgasev, Economides and Efimchuk...

Both Ignatov and Mitsuki have 24-24 points now. I wish he could have beaten Ignatov here...

 

There's still a chance, but it will be hard to make it.

But at least he will edge out Ignatov, since he's got 1 gold and Ignatov none. ..

 

Looks like JGP Poland will decide everything. The only potential gpfinalist in Italy is Murashov - looking at the Italian field, he'll probably get in, others will fight for the gpf in Poland.

 

 

ETA: wait, no, I'm wrong. Looks like the full list of Italian gp is not decided. Where does Torgashev have his second gp?

 

ETA2 : Matteo Rizzo still has 2 gps to do, he could be a spoiler.
