I watched the first few Jr Men...not impressed. Jordan had decent jumps...wonky landing on this 3Lz combo but otherwise good, spins were dreadful...painfully slow! Nam's program is, imo, slightly inappropriate! His music was Smooth Criminal (good choice) with a lot of MJ dancing...including the iconic crotch-grap-hip-thrust! Considering how young he his (11 or 12, I can't remember) I didn't think it was appropriate and if I don't like it when Joubert does it, I'm not going to like it when a child does it either! I didn't watch much more...it wasn't exciting like it was last year!

Nobunari withdrew, citing an injury. The men's SP was skated last night. It was won by Maciej Cieplucha, the Polish National Champion, who gave an interesting program with a 3/3, but popped his loop to a double, and I believe singled his axle.

Liam Firus was seond, Patrick Wong third.


Ronald Lam imploded, and skated as though his program and he were not yet ready for prime time. The sr ladies SP's I saw all were pretty terrible, with falls and pops on most of the jumps. The Jr Pairs long, sr men's long, ladies long and Sr pairs long will be skated today, and are available on skatebuzz as streaming video live.
