Honestly I would watch a full program of Lucas Broussard just doing spirals across the ice

Mad respect for Lucas Broussard who apparently decided that since he'll never podium, he'd skate with watered down content in order to be clean and concentrate on the presentation.

The arms, the posture, the transition, the musicality... That was magnificent.

Lucas Broussard — Everybody Hurts SP at Nebelhorn Trophy 2023

[chiarrara]

I love watching Lucas Broussard skate, like he looked so shaky the whole time but I could see like the Jason Brown level skill and talent he can achieve with a bit more confidence and experience.

And that Ina Bauer my GOD. I was genuinely awed by him. Some of the edge work he's trying is like, my favorite kind of skating that doesn't get rewarded nearly enough, so I hope he keeps at it.

I don't think I ever saw Lucas Broussard skate before - and he's so, so lovely!!! 🥺

And okay, now I see why people would rave about seeing "a good spiral", his spirals are the loveliest, too!

Coach Isabeau

lucas broussard is so wonderful and i am just so gutted for him

[figureskatingfanblog]

Fall on the opening Quad Toe. Nice Triple Axel. Nice spin. Solid step sequence. Solid Triple-Triple. Interesting spin. Fall coming out of that last spin.

Solid skate from Lucas Broussard of the US. A couple of mistakes, but not bad. He's got a lovely quality.

65.31 and into third behind Naumov and Carrillo

Ranking the GPF programs - the junior men SP edition

6 - Nozomu Yoshioka - Malaguena

Remember what I said about how I don’t mind warhorses for juniors. Yeah no, changing my mind. Nozomu is a lovely skater and has a chaotic vibe that i find endearing but that Malaguena is very by the numbers, it lacks the spark. And the spins, oh the spins. Bad.

5 - Robert Yampolski - Lord and Master, choreo by Nina Petrenko

Teen angst at its finest but it works for him. A lot of the jumps are basically YEET-and-pray, and he still hasn’t found the dosage between fierce and frantic.

4 - Nikolaj Memola, Prelude in C Sharp Minor, by Rachmaninoff, choreo by Corrado Giordani

Choreo is a bit too busy for such a tall skaters. Unless you’re very very good, carrying out a gazillion arms and legs gestures to pump the transition count, when your limbs are so long, won’t end well. And to his credit, Nikolaj almost pulls it off. 

Still the choreo doesns’t really suit the music. A shame because he could absolutely pull a less busy, more lyrical style.

3 - Shunsuke Nakamura - El Conquistador, choreo by Cathy Reed 

Here you’ll find drama, and skating skills, and flair, and a bit of theatrics. The music is kinda generic and so is the choreo but Shunsuke can perform and sell the crap out of it.

I have to admit I haven’t been overly impressed by the junior japanese men, but coming off the likes of Kao Miura, Shun Sato and especially Yuma Kagiyama isn’t easy. A lot of them have had no international experience priori to this season, and are very rough around the ages. The only one who’s skating I find impressively refined for his age is Takeru Amine Kataise, but his jumps are not it.

2 - Lucas Broussard - Adios Nonino, choreo by Corrie Martin

I’m not sure I like all of the choreo here. Some of the moves and positions Lucas hits feel awkward for the sake of being original. That said, musicality is very good, lines and extensions as well. Needs more stability with the quads and 3A but could be a true threat in a few years.

1 - Takeru Amine Kataise - Yoshitsune Main Theme, choreo by Kohei Yoshino

100% a tribute to Yuzuru and it shows. It’s a shame the jumps did not work out because everything else is stunning. The posture, the extensions, the arms. That short is different music-wise than the rest of the field and sets him apart nicely. Very effective.
