Kevin AYMOZ (FRA) | Men Free Skating | GP Final 2023

And his colleague and teammate is up next Kevin Amos from France 181.75 his season's best he's tripling the second intended quad. Oh shame mega difficult transition but a fall on the triple axel into a single not sure if this physically arrived after the difficult falls at the start ah cemented fragility it's a performance that Kevin wishes he could restart entirely will any frustration be born now in the cardio sequence. Wow what a car I mean it's amazing what a contrast in this four minutes just unbelievable and you know Mark I felt when the program began I thought he was in a trance completely focused but was it a trance technically which loses the connection with the music or was it a trance of performance which can lose the connection to technical and I thought he was in such a trance to perform this that once that first mistake came it broke the trance and it broke the concentration technically and then it just went downhill from there just couldn't reconnect I mean I think you're entirely right and one of the most wondrous things about Kevin Amos and coach Sylvia is how they wear their heart on their sleeves how they show give us an insight into their souls almost with their passionate interpretation but blessing and a curse because he felt like we were living every emotion in that four minute free skate start well quad toe triple toe not technically as sound as others in their short program Kevin was almost joined second on the program component scores as we see him pop the second quad which suggests that amidst a European champion world champion olympic medalist Kevin's right up there but he has to be technically absolutely pristinely perfect with his less difficult planned program content and under rotated triple loops falls like that we'll see him completely drift off from a competitive standpoint but then that said as we look at the flip you see a choreo sequence which I think probably the best in the event I have been hard pushed to find a better choreo sequence than what Kevin delivered which was the 12th and final element in his program yeah and I agree with you because I think he put his freight gave his frustration out in that sequence the anger internal perhaps but external I mean some of the judges that have seen that kind of reaction for the dancers have had a nicer face than that one that was scary it'll be like a little scary whoa yeah but this is a remarkable performer who had a disastrous day no question you can't avoid that it was not a good skate and I wondered if he was over focused I don't know but I've never seen him so intense at the beginning and then lose so much during the program technically it's so intense at the end in a different way yeah well 126.71 of course that is second in the free program and with a 219.91 this will be really low he'll probably end up six but this is an experience that I think will will not let happen again he'll be he'll review this what happened and learn from it as he moves
