Men's Short Program

[futureidol]

Can someone post the total scores for the rest of the skaters please? Nevermind, I see someone is doing so. Thanks.

SO PROUD OF YUZURU. He is my future Johnny. Love him!

I haven't been keeping up. This Hanyu kid (first time I've seen him) is totally fabulous. Love the program, the confidence, the total commitment. WOW.

I too think that he has the potential to be the one to watch in Sochi - he's a keeper!

Noticed that too. They have not updated the scoring since Kevin Reynolds. ETA: it just unfroze and is now caught up.
Hanyu: give this young man a couple of years, and we may have a Sochi medalist here. I like him. How old is he?

He is 16. I think his birthday is in Dec 1994

I think Hanyu is 16 years old.

But Hanyu's big problem is his stamina for the LP.

Love Nan Song. Great jumping ability and musical. Except I despise this music. Oops, popped his last jump. Eek. Regardless, this is China's best fellow in the next couple of years. Aargh. That pop really sunk his boat.

I remember he had that problem in his first year as a junior too but by his second year he kinda got over that. Hopefully he'll get over that by next season >.<

Guess American boys did alright. All 3 of them will be at the last flight.

So now you have faith in the swans (pl)! Me too!

Song did perfect 3/3 and 3A, then popped the last jump.

This Hanyu is dangerous. Jeremy has to be careful in LP. Yuka said that Jeremy's going to put a quad in his LP.

I take it this gentleman is Kazahkstan's #2 man behind Denis Ten? The outfit is hurting my eyes, yikes.

Excited for Johnny's return next season and Yuzuru continuing to grow and blossom as a skater. Johnny designed his costumes and he is his idol. I will always have faith in swans, and beautiful artistic skaters.
