Oh no, Javier (along with Artur), has all the goods to dominate the world, but he just lets it get by him, he needs to focus, and get the job done. Look to Zhenya. Jmho.

The judges disagree. Gachinski has the second highest skating skills PCS so far. My eyes are doing back flips in their sockets.
5th.. ouch.
Shocking..not in the same class as Brezina, Verner.

Javi
Had to step out for a while, even though Zhenya was about to skate. Came back to his triumph. Yes, he has a *very, very* strong will! I thought he might come through, pain or no pain, injury or no injury.
Artur just needs a polisher; I remember back when Lysacek began with Frank Carroll, he was all jumps, no style, wooden, raw-boned. Fast forward through the years, to a serious polish by Tarasova, and presto!
When it comes to the jumps, Mishin is an incredibly effective teacher. He seems to understand the physical dynamics involved better than most do.
ETA: Sorry about Javi. I still have high hopes for his future. There is more pressure on him now than there used to be, but I hope he will get used to it in time. Pressure is the price of success.

Javi :(
Maybe next time...
Is this vocal stuff in Amodio's music legal?
Congratulation to Plushenko!!!
Sad for Fernandez!

Evgeni Plushenko just made history today, the 28th of January, 2012, becoming the 3rd man in history to capture 7 European Titles, only being surpassed by Ulrich Salchow of Sweden (1898-1913) with 9 and Karl Schafer of Austria (1929-1936) with 8. Now Zhenya, The King of Figure Skating, with 7!
And he first man to do so in the modern era.
Gachinski's SS score tied with Brezina's.
As long as it's not actual words it's okay.
