2014 Rostelecom Cup Men's Free Skate 11/15

[Doggygirl]

I too love Hallelujah. I was so wishing for a better skate for J10. Hopefully some other time this season!

Artur - this program just loses me. I find my mind wandering half way through.

 

[noskates]

Yes, me too. Thank you for the commentary. Sparse as it is, it sure beats Peter Carruthers on Universal.

Who is coaching Artur? He looks super young!

 

[Meoima]

Poor Artur

Barring an absolute meltdown it looks like Javi has punch his ticket to Barcelona.

*unhappy sigh*

Come on Jason, please make getting up in the middle of the night worth it.

 

[silverfoxes]

Quite a boring and generic program, so it's not surprising he doesn't seem into it. I hope he can get his mojo back one of these days...

 

[adelia]

Terrible.

 

[noskates]

Oh, poor Stephen. .02 difference.

Good 3A to start for Brown! Let's hope things ride out well form here.

Some mistakes, but solid outing - he's crying/emotional after his skate

FS: 80.26+78.98 = 159.24 (PB), 235.56, 1st (out of 6)

 

[Mrs. P]

Holy balls. He messed up on the lutz but then improv the combo on the second half!

 

[karne]

Pretty good, Jason!

 

[Doggygirl]

I like this program of Jason's so much more than his short program. Love all the choreographic touches (thank you Rohene!!) and love how many of the jumps come out of nowhere and others have unique entries. Beautiful spin positions (I know nothing about the levels).

 

[OS]

Jason need to skate to a big raucous John Williams, I enjoyed the final 40 seconds....

 

[TMC]

Holy balls. He messed up on the lutz but then improv the combo on the second half!

That was AWESOME

Couldn't believe it

 

[Mrs. P]

Okay I can breathe now.
