Yeah, why are so many guys doing it this season? It's a pet-peeve of mine...

I was so tense and nervous during his performance, I couldn't enjoy the beauty of it. He successfully lands one jump, and I am so nervous about the next. Pheww....glad that's over. I have to learn to be less emotionally invested in his performances!

My gosh, Yuzuru was awesome!

What's wrong with Jeremy and Adam? I thought they were bad, but then after Yuzuru skated, I thought they were REALLY bad. Let's hope the US never has to send those two again.

Hanyu is a future World champion. Maybe he will be the one to challenge Chan in Sochi.

Lol I didn't watch Contesti, but the replay shows he did great!

I like this routine, and both him & Kevin Van Der Perren are showing the old guys still have it.

Wow his free skate ties with Jeremy. But Jeremy's margin from the SP keeps Contesti behind him.

There's no way you can compare most skaters in the world to Hanyu. He is a phenom, MUCH BETTER than Chan was at the same age. If Jeremy continues on from this event and wins Nationals, there's no way the US can deny him his Worlds spot, as the US champ is guaranteed a berth to the team. Same with Rippon if he were to win Nationals.

Lets get it over with, hurry up guys!

But the rest is badder. At least for now.

What a nice treat from Contesti after Hanyu's program.

Last group up! I hope they deliver. We've had some nice skates so far from the men, if you ask me.
