Men Short Program

[Nadine]

Sorry unable to type I'm shaking....still get over Evgeni!

FIN into 2nd.

[enlight78]

I have to agree his 3A and 4T/3T was +2,+3 amazing

[Medusa]

Yeah Plushy! That should fire the others up. If they don't put 4-3s in their short programs, they might be toast before the long program even begins. Finally some suspense. Chan might succeed without 4-3 and get a high score - but for a skater like Lysacek it's a clear message: get the 4-3 in the short.

82.25? That skate was worth 78-79, IMHO.

well, he probably got hefty +GOEs on his first 2 jumping passes. they were breathtaking.... couldn't really not give them +2 to +3 marks. while some might not like his style per se, his speed is phenomenal.... the ease of stroking and the tech. aspect....esp. in the short where this is important....is highlighted.

Ivan TRETIAKOV: 3A,3F-3T,3Lz
Score:65:10,second

I don't have a problem with + goes on his 1st 2 jumping passes.

Just that Verner was so much better only one week ago, and he had 81.

This young one from RUS is a great jumper, just a minor fall on one spin, otherwise he will be Evgeni's successor in the future possibly. Bright future ahead of him.

And he goes into 2nd place with a score of 65.10

Go Shawn!

Thanks. Good point there. But Verner got nearly the same on PCS as far as I remember, his TES was lower though. It was because of those spin levels, and the relatively small GOE he received (4-3 nearly into the boards, 3A nearly underrotated, 3 Lutz was quite low).

[enlight78]

Will Sawyer ever have a 3A; cause he really needs one

[Nadine]

I really love this Canadian Shawn Sawyer's donut spin with variation & also that last one with full stretch!!!! Amazing!

Didn't really pay attention to the jumps, my mind on Evgeni, gradually shaking becoming less & less for me, lol.

Able to type now.

Shawn SAWYER: 3A(2 footed).3F-3T,3Lz(2 footed).I like the last spin very original!!
score:61:38,third.

[Nadine]

And CAN goes into 3rd place with a score of 61.38

Verner had 37.10. And he _landed_ all his jumps. And as if Zhenya's spins are a work of art.

Go Tema!

Who was the girl they showed in the audience? She looked like Hayden Panetierre?
