Men's SP 7:30 EST

I'm eating sushi (rainbow roll and godzilla roll); hopefully that is good luck for my favorites.

I'm so jealous.

There's a sushi place like 5-10ish minutes from my campus but I'm right next to a not that great city (about 5-10 minutes in the other direction) and it's not smart to walk alone in this weather also.

I like the new scoring program IN has, but they should post the TES and PCS as well as the total score! Would be slightly better than having to wait until the end to see the split.

poor Ripon; he started with 3axel, step out looked rotated; steps and cross overs into 3 flip 3 toe; flying camel to donut spin, nicely centered; steps into 3 ltz with both hands up, falls. sit spin with change foot; foot work nice but feeling blah compared to other versions this season; ending sping a change foot camel, broken leg, back sit to upright.

Awful skate from Adam. Big stumble out of his 3A, good 3-3-, but a fall on "his" Lutz, then he lost his mojo during the fw, but closed with a great, fast spin combo. He's gotta be crushed.

Wow, Keegan beat him. Yay. I'm not sure Adam is tough enough for the gold medals.

Adam looks slow tonight. Bad fall on 3ltz

[HCOSurfer]

Looks like the pressure got to Adam.

[Nadine]

Having HUMONGOUS problems with IN tonight, trying everything to resolve, missing the top men unfortunately, closing down & then booting up again, hope this helps.

Again, Rippon falls on his signature element two years in a row.

What's with Adam and Nationals? He hasn't skated very well at this event since he became a senior.

[tripleaxle]

Maybe time for considering to change coaches?

He hasn't been a Senior that long and he's probably really feeling the pressure this year now that he's one of the frontrunners. Maybe he just needs more experience to get used to being one of the top guys.

Brandon did reasonably well; skated to The barber of Seville. Opened with 4toe2toe but tight on quad turned out; 3 axel tight landing; camel spin with change foot into donut; steps into 3 Lutz; another spin from death drop into sit into tuck but very slow at end; steps sequence a lot on one foot, nice; final spin. Looks reasonably happy.

Yeah he does not do well when he's being hyped.

Poor Adam!

[Spun Silver]

Ugh, dismal program from Brandon - hideous arrangement of Barber of Seville and imitative choreo (copying Ryan's Mozart program) that doesn't go with the music. Messy landing on his 4T into 2T, slow spins, interspersed with silly cutesy moves. Painful to watch
