book dragonwell, the line up is not that impressive... but i'm looking forward to seeing Kevin Aymoz, Tatsuya Tsuboi, Shun Sato, and Dennis Vasiljevs
obligatory thanks for eurosport's ambient sound option.
Andrew Torgashev. all black costume, of course *rolls their eyes*
rough start. i feel for the guy. arutyunyan is not the most empathetic coach, afaik.
spins are slow. choppy skating. and with current coach i don't think he has chance to get better.
Maxim Naumov. announcer completely butchered his last name.
not much luck with jumps, but he's more musical compared to previous skater.
music was forgettable for me though.
btw, disclaimer - i am very much subjective amateur with huge biases for and against.

Tatsuya Tsuboi.
going safe and classical with the costume, i see..

time for warhorses - en aranjuez con tu amor. heard it dozens of times, but have to look up the name every time.
not a jumping day, it seems
i liked Tatsuya's program. yes, my bias is showing :D
but he has a long way to go to get to the level of at least kazuki tomono.
wait! he got only 35.83 on components? i do not understand current scoring rules
Vladimir Litvintsev.
going for tiger pattern when your music is from lion king is definitely a choice 😆
while i didn't like the medley style music, i think he improved compared to last season.
and the ice definitely cursed today. fourth skater falling.
commentator is having a hard day, with all the slavic last names.
Stephen, you went double boring with costume and music... *deep sigh*
another one who improved compared to his past self. i wish choreography was more complicated. i think Stephen can pull it off.
and scores for components don't make sense again...
it's his first season in senior division.
very promising start.
but choice of music invites comparisons with Jun-hwan Cha's program from 21-22 seasons.

i'm not even counting all black costumes anymore. too many of them.
music: as a longtime listener of depeche mode, i'm personally offended by this version of "personal jesus"
this is when i am glad to watch recording. i can skip this program completely. because tutberidze.
first truly beautiful top class performance today, on all aspects.
entering to axel from spread eagle is just chef's kiss.
and we need more coach camera when it's Fontana at the side boards.
oh boy, that was rough. let's hope that it's just start of the season jitters.
despite that, Dennis, you are not getting a pass from me for boring costume and warhorse music
Shun continues technical excellency, well done. but Libertango, seriously?
and while no colour, good to see that his costume designer remembered sparkles.
i can't deny that he's strong technically. speed, jumps, flexibility - all there. there is no polish, which i hope will come with experience.
but it's all soured for me with how he behaves himself off ice.
