I have no clue about the standings, just that Nika is leading with Jun just behind?

Yes, followed by Deniss, Mark, and Vladimir.

it's been such a fun ride see you tomorrow, my catnips love you all

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

This was one of the most entertaining competitions ever, partly due to the skaters and partly to you. Hope to see you tomorrow again!

okay so I found a non-vk pirate stream today, but I really want the protocols now and they aren't there and that's very annoying

Not what I expected to see as the top finisher after the SP.

Also results are now up.

well, Jun messed up, but Nika's PCS are... he's a rather bland skater and that program is absolutely terrible in every way, sorry...

 

[labgoat]

He died on the ice, and was apparently penalized for it

I remember Toller Cranston used to die often without penalty, even Torvill & Dean died on the ice.

1989 Worlds Fluff - Death on Ice (the original!)

During the 1994 Winter Olympics, CBS did a memorable fluff piece about the ISU putting the kibbosh on "dying" on ice. Watch it here: http://youtube.com/watch...

I think it's a newer rule that you are not allowed to lie down on the ice?
But I think it was a very nice program and his skating has become even softer. I just think there were too many repeted moves. He choreographed it himself if I remember correctly? Maybe there should be a few tweaks still.

yes.

a newer rule

see the link from 1994 - not exactly new, but very funny.

 

[yesterday]

So as long as you have one knee under your body and do the "dying" with hands forward, head down, that's okay. Where's the great difference..? (aside from the rule)

I saw some Instagram stories and no offense, I’m happy Deniss is back with shorter hair.

I think we have all been stunned into silence by some of these music choices. Including this one. Which is…unique, let us say.

To which music choice are you referring?
