Yeah, and Ryan said it with a smile.

Ryan himself said in an earlier interview that missing the Olympics still hurts, so it's obviously still in the back of his mind.

Gorgeous opening unique & innovative hydroplane into 2A!

Then followed up by a nice 3L/3T(fall on 3T), and fought for the nice solid 3F.

Good job, Lloyd, good job!

No, Tom Z said it to Ryan. But there was smiles all around, so I guess it wasnt intended to be snarky

Ryan's sister was there, as it was said she would be before the competition. I thought Tom Z wasn't supposed to be there at all?

I'm still on a high from Ryan Bradley, but Christopher Caluza was great !

indeed. How amazing that he could come back though and have this beautiful moment.

I kinda feel the same way. I expected the team to be Adam and Jeremy. Now that Adam is out of the picture and after that spectacular SP, the title is Ryan's to lose pretty much. Abbott has won twice before. Now its Ryan's turn.

Eh? Well, I was totally on a high after Ryan's skate, so I could've misheard, but I thought Ryan said it. I didn't notice Tom Z saying anything. I apologize in advance if I misquoted it.

Joshua Farris fell on the 3A, but came through with the rest of the jumps (had a brain fart, lol, still thinking about Ryan's program).

**Spun Silver** · 01-28-2011, 10:24 PM

Farris, another young man who has it all... but I'm tired!

I was crying tears of joy, but I, too, thought it was Ryan that said it.

I kind of missed these first two in the 4th group. IN now is giving me grief. I think Farris opened to El Dron with a 3 axel but fell; then did a nice 3 lutz 3 toe. then my screen froze. Saw some well centered spins. and some nice footwork. But, I think he needs more experience to convey power in his skating and connection to the music. I liked his arms and posture. 60.91 in 10th. Not bad at all for first seniors. Good job!
