Senior Men's LP (starts at 4pm EST)

[Nadine]

lol they show Doug Ladret by the side of the boards, he's the only MAN that had the guts to stick up for Razzano yesterday! YEAH!!!!!

[Chemistry66]

143.50 for 213.29. Into 4th? Really? Behind Richard, Adam, and Armin?

[Serious Business]

Oh my freaking god I've been waiting to see Keegan's skate to Incredible Hulk for a few years now (used to be a huge comic book nerd). That was made of awesome and win.

He does need to work on not just the finesse and presentation, but keeping up the energy and intensity throughout a program, 'cause that really hurt him in the PCS sending him to 4th

[museksk8r]

Razzano kind of favors Sasha Abt.

[Layfan]

Behind Armin? Hmmm. I don't know about that.

[Chemistry66]

Holy crap that was a huge triple axel.

These men are bringing it today.

[Nadine]

Lol my sister asks me if Keegan is a midget? She's serious. (:^DDDD

[lavender]

I miss it but what's the deal with Razzano. He does remind of the lovely Abt.

[Tonichelle]

hearing Scott commentate (my all time hero) during Keegan's skate I got a little choked up. I've been watching Keegan skate since 2004 and knowing that kid was something special. He doesn't have the easiest time of it just becuase opportunities in Alaska are non existant. He has a great support system in his hometown of Girdwood, AK, but that's about it. Money is tight for all the sakters, but considering how much more expensive travel is for Alaskans it's exponentially more difficult. I commend Keegan for staying at home to train.

The top 3 US Mens is definitely not as strong as the top 3 Japanese men.

But I think they're referring to how "deep" the field is. When you compare the top 12 US Men vs. the top 12 Japanese men, Scott and Sandra thinks the US is deeper. Maybe after this competition someone who has also watched the top 12 men at Japanese Nationals and comment on this???

[Nadine]

Not watching Razzano but did see he fell on a jump. :( Too bad, but he had the skate of his life the other day, now he can retire on a good note, if he wants to that is!

[Serious Business]

Douglas just did a 3axel/Russian trepak kicks combo. A first in the sport.

[lavender]

ITA there's so many good ones. I'm pretty happy with all the variety.

[emma]

Razzano's jumps are really amazing; too bad about sitting down on the second axel; and yes, I'm seeing shades of Abt too.

So, was there debate about his SP scores? I was shocked by his PCSs. Anyway, how old did they say he is?

[seniorita]

Top 6 at Japanese Nationals could have gone at Worlds. I dont know the top 12.
I love keegan, and he changed a lot since Junior Worlds!
