Yeah, I see, we've reached the haters phase. It just occured to me.... did you actually watch the competition?

He said he is not completely comfortable with his program at this point, but I prefer Slutskaya's rendition. Nonetheless, based on his skating skills, he does deserve higher pcs.
I was talking more about the performance - skating skills, speed, etc.
Ah, OK. For a sec I thought you didn't. My wrong.And yes, I watched the competition.
Please stop making this degenerate into a cat-fight by picking over word choice; let's keep this space one conducive to friendly disagreements. Thanks.
I enjoyed the top 3 + Yannick; I was pleasantly surprised (and pleased!) that Adam went for his tano lutz, since it was such a great element in his EXs this year.
Right. I think that people far too often think of the PCS as being equivalent to the "Presentation" score in the 6.0 era. We really need to remember that a good number of the components aren't based on how "likeable" a performance was, but, rather, relatively more objective measures of ease of crossovers (skating skills) and the complexity of footwork between elements (transitions).
It depends. I think it was. He's been skating to this music for the past 3(?) years, so he knows it well. At least, he wasn't sleep-inducing, like.... others. But it wasn't his top game.So was it fair that Brian got the second best PCS?
So was it fair that Brian got the second best PCS? I haven't seen any comments about his skating except that his jumps were no good.
What do you mean by "tano lutz"?
I want to watch these programmes :banging:
'Tano jumpA jump arm position variation made famous by Brian Boitano (hence 'Tano) where one arm is extended overhead instead of folded at the chest during a jump. This increases the difficulty of a jump.
I know! Everyon's doing Tano jumps this year... did Mao restart the trend, or have I just not beeing paying as much attention before?
musesk8r said:No, Irina Slutskaya and Stephen Carriere, just to name a couple, were doing 'tano jumps before I saw Mao do them.
Verner opened with a quad toe-triple toe combination worth 14.8 points, followed by a triple Axel and triple Lutz. He gained the highest program component score of the day and the second-highest technical tally.
"I was pleased with my jumps," he said. "I didn't like that I got a Level 1 on my combination spin and Level 1 on my sit spin, so I will have to review what happened and work on it for my free skate.
"Also, I hope my choreographer Lori Nichol didn't watch today, because I can do a lot better with the steps and the emotion. It's my first big competition after a long break and I was a little nervous."
I liked Tomas-along with Oda they were great- but his costume distracts me from music and choreo cause it is out of place..
Do you mean Tomas' costume? I fantasized it like a greek sailor dancing zorba in the harbour
