About this listen

Tony and Thomas break down Day 2 of the Skate to Milano Olympic Qualifier in Beijing. First look at the men’s short program: what Petr Gumennik showed in form and scoring as a neutral athlete, where Donovan Carrillo sits after a crowd‑pleasing skate, and why a six‑point logjam from fourth through eleventh sets up chaos for the free skate. Surprises from Monaco, Ukraine, Germany, and Chinese Taipei, plus a quick audit of under‑rotations, spin calls, and PCS intent versus outcome.

Pairs and women are settled. The alternates, the citizenship caveats, and what these results mean for the team event are discussed. The episode ends with a preview of the men’s free and the free dance: quad math, stamina, judging tendencies, and the scenarios that could move skaters from the middle rows to the Olympic bus.

Expect rulebook nerdery, historical context, and plain‑spoken analysis with music and program talk woven through.
