Evan with Gwendal. "The perfect program" says G. Evan, "I found out I had the stomach flu, about one hour after the SP. I didn't think I'd make it to today's progra..."

[Frau Muller]

"Now - the exotic Emanuel Sandhu!!!"

Tick-Tock Sandhu Mix
"dressed in Italian blue...for his Italian mother."


DOWN on quad toe... (aww....)

"This is turning into a horror storry..Canadian fans trying to lift him...everybody, actually." [must have missed 3 ax...]

3 sal OK

2nd 3 axel.."no better than the first."

3 loop - no problem (cheers)
2 ax - 3 toe "It's getting better now."

3 flip-3 toe (flip OK but not toe)

Ends. "Oh dear....at least he's a lovely mover on the ice...."

[fratboy96]

"Did you hear the gasp from the crowd"

This was in refence to the 3a... did he hit it?

EDIT: "The damage has been done." Guess not.

[CDMM1991]

Live from CBC:

SANDHU

4T- goes for it, and falls uhhhhhh-oh.
3A- goes for it, and falls again
3Lz- Pops
The performance is absolutely gone.
3S- too little, too late
He's skating about as fast as my grandmother at this point.
3A- pops to a single
3L
2A-3T
3F-3T, two footed, flips out
He has no fire left. The effect he usually has on you just isn't there. He's a robot at this point.

[Sk8n Mama]

Even worse than usual-two pops, fall on quad, fall on axel. Why am I even the slightest bit surprised? At least he rotated the first axel.

[Frau Muller]

Sandhu to 5th, so far. Eight guys to skate.

Well, the Americans will at least all end up in top 10!!!!
Sad for E-man, though....

[Saundy]

I'm going to KILL my boyfriend...he said at Skate Canada that Johnny Weir would bomb by hurting his foot or something (he actually said that too...I think he's psychic) and he did.

And last night he said Eman would fall today...and he did...twice!

If Buttle bombs I will freak!

Back to crying...

[Frau Muller]

Min Zhang, one of the gt jumpers from China. Currently 11. Filmtrack 'Alexander.'

***(missed some)

"Slipping towards end"...but 3 flip-3 toe in last minute. solo 3 sal.

"Good ending...but bad start - fell on 4 toe...then a good 4 sal. Whole package not enough."
