Men's LP

Gachinski - very young and talented. Landed a huge 3A (with hand) and a great 3A+2T. Some mistakes though: fall on the 3Lz and a doubled flip. I think he has a bright future.
TAT was so excited over Denis Ten's skate, btw.
She was hugging some random chick by the boards after it was over.

Denis Ten skated the freaking lights out. One step-out on the solo 3A, perhaps underrotated - but the rest.... A divine 3A-3T, every other Triple landed with soft landings and very sure. What a guy. His ice coverage was also so much better than yesterday. PCS seemed low to me, especially since the performance was so clean and just belonged together. And the guys is just 15 - how bad can growth spurts affect the men? I remember Plushenko struggling a bit at 16 or 17, but he coped very quickly.
And I am glad to know that he will be able to go to Worlds in 2009. He needs experience.
Gachinski has some work to do in my opinion, his jump landings look very insecure, he is looking a bit awkward, channelling Pluschenko a bit too early for his age...

I know some male skaters just get more power when they grow up, just as Patrick Chan...
I didn't think Artur was bad actually. I enjoyed his skate. Obviously at this stage, Ten is more advanced, but Artur is very young and in his second season on the JGP.
Bariev - only did a 2A but no falls. I enjoyed him more yesterday. He had a great step sequence.

Either do I. But I think Mishin should get some new opinions to train him, not just make him the Plushy No.2...
I wonder about Johnson's 3A. His double is TINY and very tilted in the air. It was his weakest jump by far.
I agree, I enjoyed him. - sorry it didn't come across my dry commentary
Dornbush - lots of speed and flow and musicality, but he made key errors today. Step out on 3Lz and a popped combo. Scratch 3A.

Still in awe.

That chick was Ten's coach Elena Buyanova
About growth spurt affecting men - actually, Gatchinski was pretty badly affected.
