Thanks for the PBP, Alex. Those of us at work really appreciate it!

Does Kevin *have* to place 12th here in order to be allowed to *go* to the Olympics??? I goddamn hope not!

go adrian!

Oy Vey the screaming, it sounds like he is in agony, but I applaud the originality.

I knew KVDP score should have been higher, now he was so easially overtaken.

did he scream at the end or was it the music? lol

Iam impressed at how good the European men have been and its not even the final group.

JAAAAVIIIIII!!!!

Sorry... I love this guy

WOW! Javier must have skated very well (73.43 for TES) . . . good for him to place above Kevin!

Javi beat his old LP personal best score by 18.53 points and he beat his personal best total score by 21.28 points! WAY TO GO!!

Javier was great, he has improved a lot. The choreography was very good, even if Pirates of the Caribbean has been so overused in the last years, but he still made it look interesting. Hand down on the quad and on a couple of other jumps, but landed everything quite decently and took a lot of risk.
I'll try to upload his program later on.

**sigrid** · 01-21-2010, 02:10 PM

I'm so happy for Javier!!!!

4toe hand down was his biggest mistake. 2 3axels, one of them after the middle of the program combined with a 2toe, a perfect program!!!

Congrats to Mr. Grütter! He finally has a pupil with rock solid triple axels!

A dream come true

Wait Kevin needs to be in 12th in order to go the olympics is that a qulification thing or is that a federation thing?

**figuristka** · 01-21-2010, 02:17 PM

Wow what a great skate, not my favourite program but he skated his lights out.

**Trewyn** · 01-21-2010, 02:17 PM

^^Yeah, it is so for Isabelle Pieman, but I think I read in a Belgian newspaper that Kevin was already locked, so I don't know; he might have finished high enough at Worlds last year to not have to worry about national olympic committe requirements.

EDIT: I think Contesti is a cool skater.
