Less than one hour now. Wish all men to skate wellI am mostly nervous for the skaters being nervous and stumble, fall or don't do their best. It is so EXCITING! How can people be excited about curling???
Until IT starts, watch this adorable image of Jeremy and his coach. Go JEREMY!
Just finished watching the first half, with special guests Jamie and David. Just some quick highlights:
-Jamie is not taking back what she said about Plushenko
-David hopes the judges mark him fair but also shouldn't be afraid to give him a 4 on transitions
-both hopes that Stephane keeps it together mentally because they see he's too hard on himself during practices
-compared Jeremy to Patrick and loves his SP (which we all know is choreographed by Shae Lynn Bourne, who's Canadian)
-thinks that the only way Johnny will be in the final flight if everyone makes a mistake, David also adds that Johnny needs to focus on his skating and not on off the ice drama
-both likes Evan's work ethic
Plushenko would've still won every competition he was in this year if the judges gave his transitions the low marks they deserve. So, even fair judging shouldn't keep Plushenko from winning gold.
We are geoblocked from all the good coverage. Now, go back to the Men's short thread, and lots of wonderful posters have posted links. Some work, most don't. (for those of us unlucky enough to be in the USA). Last night I was able to use Russia channel 2 for a while, but then it switched to hockey. But I appreciate everyone who has posted links-thank you!Originally Posted by Spun Silver
Tonight ought to be a barn burner...and i hope to see my personal undervalued fav-Contesti.
Well every competition he was in this year he did not have this level of competition. Cup of Russia there was 1 maybe two guys who could even come close to challanging him, he did not do the GPF, Nationals was a Lovefest and besides the other guys did not skate that great. Maybe one or two did, but here there are like 5 guys who could outskate him IMO if everything is fair. The judges keep reminding Joubert that quads are not everything, why don't they send that same reminder to Plushy?
Could we please, pretty please, at least see their, all of theirs, programs first and then talk about the scores?!
How long would the Men's SP take? 3 hours? More?
Let's hope Brian doesn't look like this the day after tomorrow...
Jamie and David are being really unprofessional. Any mention of Johnny was followed by a pregnant pause and laugher. Screw them.
Last minute predictions:
Plushenko
Verner-10
Dai-11
Abbott-13
Lambiel-13
Evan-15
Joubert-16
Wier-17
All I have to say is I'm glad I can give my full attention to watching whatever NBC decideds to show tonight. Trying to watch the Pairs Short while studying for Quantum Chem and the Free Skate while studying for Organic Chem 2 resulted in me getting distracted. So, yay for no tests tomorrow and being able to watch. Here's to hoping everyone has a amazing and clean skate and gets scored accordingly!
Edit: I'm sort of surprised I'm so excited for the men. Remembering to 4 years ago when I knew practically nothing about skating and was bored by them. Now I find it all so exciting.
