2014 Rostelecom Cup Men's Short Program 11/14

[makaihime]

Eurosport commentators talking about Voronov having time to spare on the 3T made me wonder: has anyone ever tried something as crazy as 4T-4T? It seems to crazy to be possible but you never know...

I heard a few skaters have tried it out during practice but no one has done it in competition.

 

[satine]

Good skate from Voronov. Just... don't do A-spin again.

We've seen more A-spins this season than ever before, haven't we?

 

[s_parks]

oh no... step out and hand down on combo...

 

[Meoima]

Javi will have a disaster skate. I can feel it.

I will skinnnnnn youuuuuu!!!!

Just kidding okay... Please Javi...

 

[satine]

I like his A-spin...:

Are you sure you don't just like his butt? .......Ok sorry, inappropriate :

 

[rosacotton]

Kovtun is going need to work. He could be off the euro/world team.

And Artur, too!

Jason BROWN (USA)

Music: Juke by Little Walters

Blue shirt, black pants, sparkly suspenders

3A - hangs on a bit
3F+3T - stepout, hands down (fall), looked at least 3T<
CSSp
StSq
3Lz
FCSp
CCoSp3p - ended after music

Not quite his best, that combo mistake can be costly

SP: 37.26+39.06 = 76.32, 4th (out of 9)

 

[Violet Bliss]

While Javi's imagined disaster was being discussed, Jason had his mini disaster.

 

[HanDomi]

ended about 3 sec after music.... : (

 

[Meoima]

I really like Jason's Lp. His SP...not so much.

 

[silverfoxes]

Are you sure you don't just like his butt? .......Ok sorry, inappropriate :

No, you're right.

 

[karne]

Sigh. Not feeling Jason this morning.

Not one of his better skates.

 

[Doggygirl]

After Voronov's skate, Jason's program seemed particularly cutesy and cheesey. Not sure I'm loving this one.

 

[Sandpiper]

Just one major error for Jason. But he also did no 'tano, and messed up the final spin. I wouldn't say it's a disaster though.

 

[makaihime]

Come on Javi.........

 

[gibbynka]

I really like Jason's Lp. His SP...not so much.

This is exactly how I feel. I love his LP, but his SP is not that great (at least for me).

 

[satine]

Is it smarter for a skater to finish their last spin(assuming that is the final element in their program, as is usually the case) but go over the music and get a -1 deduction? Or do they receive the deduction and possibly have their element invalidated? :think:

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Great job Sergei! That opening combo was one of the best 4-3's I've ever seen!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Ouch, poor Jason... but that's a pretty fair score given the < error.

 

[Meoima]

Oh no Jason... That score is quite low...
