Men's LP

[casken]

I loved Shultheiss's program at SA even though he didn't skate it well. I can't wait to see this!

Mura is next...
I luv his LP when I saw him for the 1st time on the Japan West Sectional....
Hugh 3A-3T...popping a jump..
hit the board after 3loop, the rest is fine...as I type, he stumbles on the footwork
Not as sharp as I saw him skating before.

 

[casken]

Too bad for Carriere. I really like the choreography of his LP.

But doesn't that clench the GPF spot for Verner though?

 

[screech]

I have to say, Mura's outfit looks like Elvis Presley designed dress clothes for prisoners.

 

[persimmon]

Aww Stephen! Too bad, he has no hopes of making final now... He's usually so consistent too, at least on non-3A jumps! What is going on with the American singles skaters' long programs at this event? I think the time change or something must be affecting them, they seem particularly out of it... We'll see how Johnny does! Can't wait for him, and Oda!

 

[Hsuhs]

Ah, who cares what he wears As long as he lands his jumps.

So long as Ponsero doesn't win.

I do not think that he is having an easy time with that Firebird program. I did not think it was a good choice from the start.

 

[casken]

Ah right. Ponsero. He does have a quad, so it's possible.

 

[Hsuhs]

It's top 5 for Takahito Mura today :thumbsup:

Allez Yannick?

 

[1795]

wow ponsero 4t? then his 3A

 

[gopatrick]

Beautifual quad for Yannick! 3A almost underrotated but should be fine, i think...
Haven't seen a combo yet...
2nd 3A turns to 2A-2T...
Oh nooo, he's messing up the rest of his jumps again...

Well, it doen't look as bad as I worried: 142.85=70.65+72.20
Bronze for sure
