Ugh, do you have to demean everyone in comparison to Chan, including a young 16-year-old kid making his major international debut? He's really talented!

IN is working OK for me.

Dornbush should thank Mark Webster. If it were not for Mark, Ricky would have the lowest TES in the event.

me too! I would have had him higher!

**ImaginaryPogue** · 02-10-2012, 10:53 PM

I'm wondering if one of the spins was discounted.

**SkateFiguring** · 02-10-2012, 10:54 PM

This is my stream. It's perfect.

Ah, I see he was 16th in the SP, and 4th in the FS so far, so I get the scores, for some reason I thought he placed higher in the SP...hmmm...

You call that demeaning? Comparing to the World Champ at 16 is demeaning? You really think that lowly of Patrick Chan?

Anyone hear the game of 'Skater Says' the announcers are playing with the audience in the background? I found that funny.

Caluza and Kam were good, I thought, especially Caluza. I can't wait to see more of him. I have the flu so I'm having trouble paying attention, keep falling asleep..

Great intermission music and music between the skaters.

**bigsisjiejie** · 02-10-2012, 10:57 PM

Yep, USFSA is certainly looking pretty stupid right now with the decision to pass over Armin...who likely could have dealt successfully with this altitude. Not sure if Dornbush's problems were solely altitude though. He's just sort of lost the plot as this season has worn on.

I'll be doing play by play and analysis of the final two groups over on my blog: http://icemusings.blogspot.com/2012/...ree-skate.html Thanks to everyone who's been posting! It was a great way to catch up!
