GOGO LIVES!?!?!?!?

#HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND!?!?! #figure skating #fs #stephen gogolev #idf 2023 #a canadian man vertical??? in this economy???

[jennibeultimate]

Canadian men are so frustrating 😭😭😭

The SP results shows everything that's wrong with them....soooo much talent...yet so wasted....sorry if that's harsh...

There are some valid reason for the struggles of the skaters... Roman's first competition (amazing choreography for the program 🫶) and Stephen being probably injured looking very uncomfortable (get well soon kiddo)....yet...Roman is an experienced competitor and @Stephen if the injury is so bad then why are you skating????

If this men result would be the rarity then ok I would let it slide...bad days can happen to anyone...but really it can't be that there is no Canadian men with any sort of reliability...

Wesley Chiu was the only one who was really good and Aleksa Racik delivered ok, but besides Wesley no points above 80? When there are 5 skaters capable of scoring in the 80s???

I just needed a place to vent...I mean Canadian men proved yet again why I didn't expect anything from them...5 skaters capable of placing first and last in the same comp 🙃

Canada get your sh*t together....

[quadfuckinglutz]

The skating gods really said Stephen could land the first clean quad from all the men so far but had to flop with everything else and honestly it wouldn’t be a Gogolev program without a flop

Now that Sheffield is over, i can rant about NHK. Deniss silver and Daniel gold!! I feel so bad for Roman tho, he really Canadian Man’d that one.

NHK is going to be a fucking bloodbath. In no particular order, we have:

Adam Saio Him Fa - IDF gold

Matteo Rizzo - SCI bronze

Kazuki Tomono - 4CC silver, IDF bronze

Shoma Uno - Word Champion, SCI gold, two olympic medals, exc exc

Jun-hwan Cha - SKAM bronze, 4CC gold

Sota Yamamoto - IDF silver

Stephen Gogolev - Canadian. Is backed by the support of Canadians. Support of Canadians usually makes you fail in men’s singles figure skating, however as a Canadian I feel obligated to put at least one on this list

Any one of these people could medal. (Except Stephen if he Canadian Mans this) They could also all fail and none of them medal. Whatever way this goes = bloodbath. lots of death. and crying. and Yuma’s not even competing.

I just realized that we could have a repeat of the IDF podium, and I really want that to happen because it would be fucking hilarious.

Kazuki and Jun 4CC rematch.

Shoma dramatic disaster or clean?

Or actually will Conrad Orzel pull a Euros 2022? for that to happen he’d need to be in a position where he might make the podium with a clean skate, and then everyone else fails. Is this happening? no. but he’s also canadian and therefore must also be included in this list.

FUCK THERES NO WAY TO BE HAPPY I WANT EVERYONE TO WIN

Skate, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Watch this thing. WELL THE THING BECAME MY PERSONALITY. AND CAUSED TOO MUCH CRYING TO BE HEALTHY.

[incorrectfigureskatingopinions]

Congrats to Stephen on a clean skate!

#so happy that went better than skam #i wonder if he was focusing more on the jumps this time? #or is that just more weird judging shenanigans #stephen gogolev #figure skating #grand prix de france 2023

[the-sound-of-her-wings]

sound of silence has truly been done more than enough but the boy landed his jumps and was almost artistic for a second? Love that for him. That was actually nice to watch

Completely agree. Listen if Gogo NEEDS to skate to generic bland rock music to succeed then I'll make an exception just for him.

Four Continents 2023: Men’s FS

okay i made it !!

work’s been a complete bitch this week but glad I finally got to tune in for this :^)

came in the middle of group 2 -

Sihyeong Lee (KOR)

so many rippon arms...like damn

such a good fight!! i really do like this program on him

korean skating is onward and upward man...i’m so excited for this whole team

Liam Kapeikis (USA)

ah yes moulin rouge the warhorse...it has so much of a reputation that there’s so much pressure to deliver a good program for it...

had some bobbles and bad jumps...and then started getting it back together

also kinda suffers from windmill arms...

so many falls T-T my guy, your time will come

Mikhail Shaidorov (KAZ)

literally have never watched mikhail ever, so interested to see how this goes

good technical foundation as far as i can see, nice flow on his jumps

def was struggling stamina wise at the step sequence towards the end...colorado really is unforgiving with the altitude difference

Stephen Gogolev (CAN)

i feel like i saw his spartacus program at the very beginning of the season, so curious to see how it’s evolved

not the 2S... and the other 2S... :’)

ignoring the double sals...a solid showing!! it just sucks that he literally gets no points for those :|

Koshiro Shimada (JPN)

not my fave program of his (imo nobody does chaplin like javi), but oh well

he’s really zipping around the ice today - his lines are always sooo nice

the 2a jump sequence... man that was a lofty one and he still had enough momentum to do an euler and a triple sal after???

def still waiting on him to grow his performance/presence more in the next few seasons...this wasn’t technically his best or worst performance, but adding just a bit more Energy to it makes such a difference

Jaeseok Kyeong (KOR)

first time watching him - his outfit is giving me cute stylish bookworm vibes

wish he’d extend his lines all the way through his hands - they’re really pretty and then it stops at his wrist

good recovery after the fall on the opening 3A. he’s also pretty speedy

the music shift is fun !!

i’m obsessed, this whole program was so fun, and you felt the energy in the first 20s even though he completely bombed the first jump

Maxim Naumov (USA)

i’ve also never watched maxim ever so this will be new for me

the music is called “iron, shadows, loyal” is this a fantasy soundtrack cut or have i been living under a rock

rough start with several hard falls :(

what is with the men and 2_1Eu3_ sequences tonight

i like this music cut though...(feels like he’s trying to follow in jimmy’s stylistic footsteps) but tonight’s performance was stressful

what can i say, i love men who can perform and have terrible jump consistency

Conrad Orzel (CAN)

it’s been eons since i last watched conrad...

ohhh “paint it black” ??? just wish he had a more interesting all black outfit

solid perf technically, hoping he is able to give it more oomph by the time worlds rolls around (assuming he is sent to worlds)

Shun Sato (JPN)

(oh my god i swear i typed shun’s thing and then it didn’t save smh)

his jumps are so soft and precise !! so smooth

can’t wait for him to grow a bit more in the next few seasons and become a total Show Stopper

Junhwan Cha (KOR)

junhwan pls medal PLS

that opening jump on the james bond theme...man oh man

noooo he tapped the boards when he fell

the fuckin popped 2A...chaotic

this is such a great james bond music cut, but alas this was not his best showing

Boyang Jin (CHN)

i honestly feel like i haven’t seen boyang since olys...which were a full year ago...

it’s so weird to me that nathan and shoma aren’t at this comp with him...there was an era where the three of them were everywhere

this is soft and unsnoozy music, aka perfect

not his best skate, but so good to see him out here !! can’t wait to see this program when he’s in better shape and not competing a mile high

Jimmy Ma (USA)

jimmy getting 3rd in the SP was not something i was expecting...but let’s gooo

clair de lune is a very Normal choice...and then it cuts to the EDM music we expect from him (always can rely on jimmy to bring us to the club)

there were some chaos pops (1A...lol) but he seems happy with it overall !!

3rd in the sp to 11th in the fs to 7th overall...yup the chaos of the men’s event

Keegan Messing (CAN)

the world’s favorite, father of two - i’m emo over him giving jimmy a hug as they pass each other on the ice

i’ve seen this program so much this year, and it’s a packaging that would be cheesy for anyone else, but it works SO well for him

two clean 4Ts and 3As?? he’s on FIRE

that’s it, 4CC is over, give him the gold (i’m sorry kao, it literally doesn’t matter how well you do. keegan deserves first in my heart)

Kao Miura (JPN)

kao literally wasn’t on my radar until i saw him this season during the grand prix series...and MAN oh MAN when he’s on, he’s ON

when he ups his performance energy, it will be the end of me

his jumps rotate so evenly (idt that makes sense, but it makes sense to me)

really milking the chorus of this song...hell yeah !!

wow. what an event !!

Some excellent news today. Stephen is going to be competing at 2024 Skate Canada Challenge in Winnipeg, MB. He's not actually required to compete here as he has a bye to Nationals, but this will give him another event before Nationals, and another opportunity to woo those tough Canadian judges. Also a good time to remind you all that Stephen has won Challenge at every level from pre-novice to senior.

I have to really commend Stephen for some good decision making this time. Way to go.

There is going to be a time schedule posted but right now you can look at the schedule here. The men are competing November 30 and December 1. I will be able to cover this one thankfully.

Good luck Stephen!

2022 Junior worlds entry #9

Men free program

Andreas Nordeback(SWE)

Thoughts: there was power in that ending. And I liked his outfit more than I thought I would.

Stephen Gogolev(CAN)

Thoughts: I never noticed the light dusting of freckles on the back of his neck before. I love surprise freckles!

Tatsuya Tsuboi(JPN)

Thoughts: he’s very special. I didn’t know Sei Kawahara was part of his coaching team. No wonder. I loved watching Sei skate.

Liam Kapeikis(USA)

Thoughts: I liked seeing Kai in the audience. I liked Liam’s smile. Liam is everything right now.

Mikhail Selevko(EST)

Thoughts: I always love the ones that put their whole heart into their programs. And he’s wearing PURPLE! Is that Alexander they keep showing in the audience?! That’s so cool.
