i tune out every time krasnozhon skates, not my taste at all

 

I managed to catch up on Men and... well, I don't tune out exactly but it's my third season waching him, and I just can't get into his skating. His skating is so heavy. Hiwatashi's and Torgashev both are more pleasant to watch. Does Krasnozhon even have a chance to break through the American ranks? There's Chen and Zhou and Brown... On the international senior circuit I don't think he stands a chance to make it top 10 despite the quads.

krasnozhon doesn't even have quads though? only 4Lo, and that's usually < or <<. i dont recall him ever getting positive goe for it. as a senior, i really see him as a non-factor for the foreseeable future, unless he drastically gets a lot of quads in a short period of time, which i guess is possible, but he's taller and more muscular than the skaters who typically land a variety of quads (nathan, boyang, yuzuru, etc..) and i don't think it'll be as easy for him.

 

in terms of the us junior men here, i'm quite taken with hiwatashi's skating in the first place lol and can't quite understand how krasnozhon had higher pcs than him, or indeed over anyone at all, despite the cleanliness of the jumps. he's improved over the course of the season, but generally, you know, he's still the first skater that comes to mind for me when someone uses the phrase "skating like a hockey player."

I thought Krasnozhon had a one more quad, a 4T ot a 4S, lol, I think my brain rejected the idea of someone starting with a 4Lo. If he only has one unreliable quad then he's gonna get completely lost in the senior circuit.

 

Right now he's poised to win the Junior Worlds, but his skating is so underwhelming. Usually when we watch junior worlds winners, we speculate how they will fare in senior ranks, how they will improve, how quickly they will become a force to be reckoned with. Even Nam and Daniel looked promising and invited speculation. But Krasnozhon is just... meh. 

 

Oh well, next year, the junior fight will be more exciting perhaps.

The Men's LP started! Donovan Carrillo is on!! Good luck to all the guys!!! 

Oh, shoooot, I'm here. *look for stream*

I'm lucky today! ISU stream is working for me ... with VPN ofc! AUS!

So, half granted. And that makes it 3 out of 4. I am going to play this game.

That's a former skater as his coach, right? If that's Amodio, I am OLDER THAN HIM, how is he coaching already. This sport!!

That's a cool design of a costume. Great for this music, too.

Promising. Get the jumping technique, boy!

 

He got a Hamtaro!

 

Black Costume count: 3 out of 5.
