OMG, I can't believe Ponsart used Zhenya's signature music "Tribute To Nijinsky", which is Evgeni's iconic program (received 11 6.0's at Russian Nationals) and is identified with him. :love:

Still, I love Ponsart's turnout & pointed toe ~ gorgeous! :cool:

poor youngster from France messed up on all his elements, and he honestly looks like a novice compared to his countryman, Ponsart, who has exquisite artistry.

Now I'm soooooooooooo EXCITED about France's mens program after seeing Ponsart skate for the very first time; imho he's better than Amodio, and has the makings of a great skater. Can't wait to continue to watch him over the years. :love:

I LOVE this time schedule. I can keep it on my desktop all morning and "watch" via the score feed and here. Short dance should be the same time I'm giving a test, too--so much win!

Solid jumping... he needs more speed and polish on his elements, though.

Nan Song has the 4/3 nailed! :cool: as well as his other elements, though the 4/3 was a bit slow, and I wish he wouldn't stalk that jump, but he did it again! :love:

Now I would like to see him have a totally different program, costume, choreography, et al, to do justice to his untapped other talents (loved his pointed toe on the sitspin). :)
