2012 NHK Men's Short Program SP

Kevin just can't put it together...

[MaiKatze]

Is Kevin R skating same program as last season(no judgement ... just looks familiar)?

It's the same. That music is so catchy, maybe that's why he's using it again.

Score: 70.05 (SB) and into 2nd

[auser]

While admiring his skating, Eurosports commentators wondering why Dornbush hasn't made more of a mark. He's only been a senior skater for a couple of seasons, right? Give a young skater some room to grow.

Underwhelming first group. All skaters did mistakes and everybody is virtually tied.
