Finlandia Trophy Review

Men:

Yuma Kagiyama (Japan) Total Score 263.09 - 1st in short, 5th in the free. The short was absolutely breathtaking, but the free was very rough. However, it's been a while since Yuma has had a disaster skate so I'm glad he got it out of his system because he has the Grand Prix Final and JNats coming up quick!

Kevin Aymoz (France) Total Score 259.15 - 3rd in the short, 2nd in the free. Wayyyy overscored in the short, but it's very groovy and he moves so well to it. Free was okay, he went down on the first 4T but he kept it together. I still don't trust him tho.

Daniel Grassl (Italy) Total Score 258.55 - 6th in the short, 1st in the free. Why isn't his jumps getting rotation calls????? I really am not digging the Billy Elliot program. He doesn't have a lot of speed and there's a lot of music cuts and it makes the program feel like it goes on forever.

Sota Yamamoto (Japan) Total Score 249.91 - 4th in the short, 3rd in the free. I'm so sad he didn't make the podium. Both of his programs are so gorgeous. The 3A was very troublesome for him in this competition, as he went down on it in both the short and the free. I love him and that's all that matters. Can't wait to see him at JNats.

Lukas Britschgi (Switzerland) Total Score 246.7 - 5th in the short, 4th in the free. His short is very interesting, I just don't love the long voiceover, but that's just a personal preference. The free grew on me a little more. The music is very pretty, and I felt like I was traveling through space and time just a smidge.

Kazuki Tomono (Japan) Total Score 238.41 - 2nd in the short, 7th in the free. Great short program, but it's a shame that he fell apart a bit in the free. Both of his costumes are gorgeous. Japan's depth of field never fails to amaze me.

Aleksandr Selevko (Estonia) Total Score 214.15 - 8th in the short, 6th in the free. Meh

Vladimir Samoilov (Poland) Total Score 205.47 - 9th in the short, 8th in the free. In both the short and the free he absolutely nailed his first opening quad - the Salchow in the short, and Lutz in the free which is very impressive. However, after the first jump, he kinda fell apart in both programs. Needs to work on his consistency and PCS.

Camden Pulkinen (USA) Total Score 195.18 - 10th in the short, 9th in the free. Watching him continues to frustrate me. I just want him to do well, but he doesn't look that fazed that he isn't doing well. The music cuts in the free are weird. I wish he would just stay with the first song the whole time. Hopefully, he can get it together at US Nationals.

Maker Suntsev (Finland) Total Score 180.48 - 11th in the short, 10th in the free. "He is a samurai, and he is fighting for important things" lol. Yeah, the music for his free program has a lot going on, and yet he did not show a single emotion.

Valtter Virtanen (Finland) Total Score 166.25 - 12th in the short, 11th in the free. He's li37!?!?! And is a doctor!?!?! And has a child!?!?!? Good for him for going there and doing his thing in front of the home crowd.

Junhwan Cha (South Korea) WD - :(((( His ankle is bothering him again which is absolutely tragic. Maybe if the Korean federation didn't overwork their skaters he would be healthy. IDK why the judges are robbing him on his PCS. I love you Jun forever and always.

Women:

Hana Yoshida (Japan) Total Score 199.46 - 1st in the short, 2nd in the free. Both of her programs are a little weird but I like them for her. Went for the 3A in the free, but went down. So excited to see her at the Grand Prix Final!

Rino Matsuike (Japan) Toal Score 199.2 - 4th in the short, 1st in the free. She's just the free skate queen I guess. Who needs the short? JK, I need the short, because I love Moulin Rouge, and I want to see her skate it clean.

Lara Naki Gutmann (Italy) Total Score 198.49 - 2nd in the short, 3rd in the free. My creepy queen finally made the podium. I am actually so obsessed with the Squid Game program and the free is also very pretty. I love her so much.

Sarah Everhardt (USA) Total Score 191.17 - 3rd in the short, 5th in the free. Her jumps are great, but does not show a single emotion (sounds like someone else we know who is shaped by the same people lol). It's a little frustrating because I really like the Firebird program but it just feels like she is checking off the boxes as she goes through it. However, she is very young and has so much room to grow. SO excited to see her at US Nationals. She has the ability to shake things up a bit.

Ahsun Yun (South Korea) Total Score 187.68 - 5th in the short, 6th in the free. She surprised me (in a good way). The music in the short was a smidge fast for her but the costume was great. She also had a solid free, she had one boo-boo with the pop on the Lutz.

Lorine Schild (France) Toal Score 182.36 - 7th in the short, 7th in the free. She improved a lot from the Grand Prix de France which is great! However, neither one of her programs really stands out to me.

Niina Petrokina (Estonia) Total Score 178.66 - 11th in the short, 4th in the free. Struggled in the short again, but her free was pretty solid.

Mai Mihara (Japan) Total Score 174.74 - 6th in the short, 8th in the free. Her performance was pretty similar to her performance at Grand Prix de France. She keeps popping the 2F which is frustrating.

Lindsay Thorngren (USA) Total Score 170.64 - 8th in the short, 9th in the free. I'm glad that there was nothing on the ice to mess her up in the short, but she still went down on the 3Lz tho. 0A in the free was a shame

Janna Jyrkinen (Finland) Total Score 157.44 - 9th in the short, 11th in the free. Short was decent but fell apart in the free. Quite slow.

Nella Pelkonen (Finland) Total Score 155.22 - 12th in the short, 10th in the free. Only got a level 2 in the stsq because she didn't have twizzles. Did a good job of holding it together in the free, but she did pop the 3S.

Olivia Lisko (Finland) Total Score 153.67 - 10th in the short, 12th in the free. Had a decent short, but there were 2 pops in the free.

Pairs:

Deanna Stellato-Dudek / Maxime Deschamps (Canada) Total Score 207.44 - 1st in the short, 1st in the free. 10 points higher than Skate Canada! I hate the cover in the short, but I think I liked the water program a little more this time around. Still have some things we need to clean up tho. Idk how they'll fare against Miura/Kihara.

Maria Pavlova / Alexei Sviatchenko (Hungary) Total Score 184.21 - 3rd in the short, 2nd in the free. I am an absolute sucker for a Pirates of the Caribbean program! That aborted lift sure was scary tho. I do not vibe with the short at all.

Rebecca Ghilardi / Filippo Ambrosini (Italy) Total Score 181.59 - 2nd in the short, 6th in the free. I really like the short, and was disappointed that they changed the free from Phantom to Dracula. Free skate was quite rough, so I'm only gonna talk about the short. It was awesome and they were so dramatic. She was absolutely feeling it.

Ice Dance:

Lilah Fear /Lewis Gibson (Great Britain) Total Score 203.22 - 2nd in the short, 1st in the free. Them winning was not on my Bingo card, but I'm so glad that they won. Love the Beyonce program - especially the first half. I think they have too many cuts in their short.

Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier (Canada) Total Score 200.79 - 1st in the short, 4th in the free. A FALL!?!?!?!?!? Still hate the backless suit. And I don't really like her dress either.

Juulia Turkkila / Matthias Versluis (Finland) Total Score 196.6 - 3rd in the short, 2nd in the free. Listen, I was not expecting them to do well but they kinda slayed. I really liked the free. Her dress was great and the emoting was wonderful.

Ice Dance Result

[positive-twizzle-energy]

Unpopular opinion (and I mean UNPOPULAR) but rocky is still a better program composition&concept than whatever porridge g/f are skating to. Is the execution worth the points they get? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Would I rather watch g/f, even just doing warmup exercises? Yes absolutely, their skating is mesmerising. But also their program has no memorable moves and has the sinkats-like arm choreo🤷

[carolinahope]

Gibson and Fear were fucking amazing. So captivating, so well put together, so well skated.

[dizzyduck44]

I said 12 months ago that if the older teams who stayed on after the Olympics don’t innovate their skills the younger teams will start to catch them.

I wasn’t wrong.

Well Done Lilah and Lewis 🥇

GPF Torino 22 - Fear/Gibson - Free Dance

Elements:

StaLiRoLi 4+4 (time, but SOOOO much stronger than last outing) | Twizzles 4+4 | MiSt2+2 (much better speed, coverage and edges than i expect from them, could easily be 3s by the end of the season) | OFT 2+3 | DS4 | CuLi4 | Choreo Twizzle (+2.80) | ChSq (+) | Choreo Slide (+)

Program: Lady Gaga Medley

First off, for what I was able to watch, Lilah and Lewis were on fire. A lot of improvements in cleanliness and power were visible, and they could really give it a go at Europeans if they keep up this trajectory. They were still a little stiff and/or hesitant in some of their more difficult elements which held them back from getting 3s or higher in the levels, but the Twizzles and all of the Lifts were just *muah*, chefs kiss.

But second and most importantly, absolutely FUCK peacock. How fucking DARE YOU not only crap out the stream in the middle of a performance (that will never be available for replay or uploaded onto youtube), but in the middle of the Choreographic Step which is the HIGHLIGHT of the program. I'm so pissed -- not just for missing them, and the score, but knowing I'm probably gonna miss the entirety of Laurence and Nik too because Peacock is having technical difficulties and says "We'll be right back." which is a fucking LIE.

Why.... has the ice dance videography been SO! GOSH! DARN! BAD! this event?!?!? its the dang Grand Prix Final, these programs AREN'T new and neither are the elements or basic format of these programs!!! most of the teams use a fairly similar layout and positioning of the elements... which are all hella telegraphed.... so there's no reason to watch a lift zoomed out from the back row of the arena to only zoom into a shoulder as they are exiting... like come on....

Score: who the f knows, all I know is fuck fuck FUCK peacock.

Actually it was: 125.15 for a total of 200.90 into 1st
