Mens Short Program

Javier Fernandez

Boy what a program I LOVE IT!! - great choice of music and fantastic start with 4T GOE excellent and I would give that +3, but combo was messed up turn out, back in the program and transitions were great, 3A what a shame could not hold on, fully round I think. I think it wont be far off plushy around 81 or 82:biggrin:
 
To be honest, Javier was far form his 2011 Skate Canada SP. He was very nervous and his steps were not as sharp as usual. But I'm glad he is in the mix
I hate this SP from Tomas. Second place, YES!!
 
I was on the phone and couldn't pay attention to Javi. :mad: I saw his spin combo and thought he really had good line and the speed was good till later so he had improved his spin. Then shocked to see only 80+ for his score and find out about his messed up jumps.

Well, Plushenko's jinx is working well. I picture him giving the evil eye, scaring the crap out of everybody! :laugh:

Let's see if it works on Joubert.
 
:love:GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRIAN!!!!:cool:

Here's your chance. As Eminem famously said "you only got one shot"...
 
Tomas kept his head on his shoulders! Too bad the quad didn't work out, other jumps looked pretty solid!
 
Tomas Verner

Not bad - Modern version of Carmina Burana (is that another A Goldstein arrangement) Not round on the 4T so that will be downgraded, just round on the 3A, combo good, but that 2nd 3T was a close call, concept of program good, good steps and spins, i think they will be closely looking at all the jumps here, like to give him a good score, NOT sure. those jumps ouch!!

update they gave him credit for the 3A and combo
 
Darn, this is sad, but good comeback after the disastrous start.

However, I don't like this SP, wish he would bring back "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", as well as "Ode To Joy" for the FS.
 
So the real question now is:

Could Plushenko win Euro this time?:biggrin: - a tickling and thrilling thought!
 
Brian Joubert

Nice program to Genesis and Daft Punk - well what can I say. I think the injury has hampered his preparation and the program looked under rehearsed, polish was not there, 4T =fall, 3A stumble and 3L was good from steps, spins are better, steps still good from Brian, probably same score as Brezina
 
Shoot, what happened? Looks like my video totally missed Tomas Verner. Now Amodio's skating...

Odd?
 
When Plush is Quadless, no one else is allowed to have one.

Amodio changed program, changed costume, and did some actual skating.

At least Amodio performed well. But jeez, this is one lackluster competition.
