Very sad, Kim from KOR just popped two jumps, and the very sparse crowd is trying to rowse him.He looks like he's only 12 yrs. old.
And he's skating to a real cool western song, one absolutely cannot go wrong when going with "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". *double cool emoticon*
Bravo to Clint Eastwood, the King of Cool.
His coach (who looks about 16 herself) looks as sad as he does. This was the first sad skate for me. Most of these guys are skating well with only one mistake. It reminds me of what a cruel sport this is (in spite of the kind audiences). So much talent and hard work, so little glory.

Okay that's it for the 1st group, with Alex Kam leading, now time for the 2nd group to warm-up.
Any live feed?
Lol I'm trying to multi-task, feeding my Chihuahua, cleaning up, preparing dinner, getting off the phone with my cousin, aunt, sister, et al, and managing to follow my IN video screen as much as possible.
This reminds me of the Olympics, the first groups were not memorable except for Brian Joubert, Jeremy Abbott, my fav from Sweden (he skated to "Insane in the Membrane"), and maybe one other, but when the final elite group comes out there's absolutely nothing else like it. The difference between the last group versus the rest is immeasurable, the chasm is that deep.
Allright, there's Nan Song in the mix, I knew he was going to be a star when I first saw him at 2010 Skate America in that bright yellow shirt & black slacks.
One minute to go, then BAM!!!!
Shih from TPE had lots of trouble, two falls on jumps, fall on footwork, totally off-center on his first spins, but his second set of spins were good. Just not his night.
his equilibrium seemed off, and there's Mr. Sato in the K&C with him.
BRAVO!!!!
I love this young man Luiz Manella from BRA, he skated to Patrick Chan's "Take Five" and did a superb job, cool & slick on ice, my fav tied almost with Alex Kam's program.
He looks very young but he too is definitely going places!
This young man from Brazil is teen-idol material. He's beyond cute. He skates pretty well too!
Maybe the altitude is getting to some of the skaters.Originally Posted by Nadine

2nd place and he gets a HUGE applause from the crowd, well deserved!
His season best is .01 over Kam's score tonight. But alas, fell short this time.
Nice program from Jordan Ju of TPE, only fell on the 3L, but managed to save his 3/3 combo., skated to some jazzy music.
Thank you so much Nadine and Spun Silver for the updates!
Following through my cell phone and this is the only way to know what's going on. Very much appreciated.
Nice job from Kevin Alves of BRA, just one fall on a jump, and I loved his blinding fast scratch spin to end it with. ;cool:
