Final group on the ice!

Brian's scores are so low :(

Here is to him coming back and fighting in the long and winning, just like in the Eur's.

Patrick's scores are so high and inflated, it is an embarresment to the sport.

Huh? I agree that Patrick's score earlier this season were inflated, but how can you dispute this one?

Love that Brezina's eating something before his skate. I've always wondered about that.

[JeffyJosephNCA]

LMAO to the coach with the Bono/Elton John glasses

[aemeraldrainc]

What was it that Michal ate? His coach put out a plate with something yellowish on it..

I don't think I'll ever shake my initial impresion of Michal...he looks like a baby Jeff Buttle to me

I'm following the live scores and am so frustrated that I couldn't see the world record. I hate German television for not showing it, same for Eurosport.

You can quite easily dispute Patrick's score. He was technically brilliant but artistically still somewhat robotic. Although his PCS actually weren't really overscored this time - the tech mark was. His spins aren't as good as some of the other skaters. He has easy positions in the combination spin and his Camel-change-Camel is only a Level 3 and with less speed than one might wish for. He did not deserve more than +1 GOE for the 4Toe-3Toe or the 3Axel either. No doubt the judges gave him +2's and maybe even some +3's on the Quad-Triple just for the hell of it.
