And to gallavich, thanks!

you're welcome...Uspenski is easy on the eyes, no?

Damn that was pretty good from Brown. I thought he was gonna bomb and Denis might just snatch that GPF spot.

ESP guys say that Javi didn't looked good on warmup :hopelessness:

"Slightly alarming warm-up for Javier" "Didn't do 3 jumps" "Brian Orser looked alarmed"

Nooo what happend????!!! Was he distracted avoiding people running into him?

 

[HanDomi]

Max poped 1st quad

[OS]

Yes the floppy hair is gone!!! GO Max!! Do it for USA

He will have to bomb very bad to end up below silver.

 

[firal]

I guess it was too much to hope that the men's competition would be good for both the SP and LP.

Please Javi and Kozuka!

They said "he didn't fall, he just wasn't doing them" hwell:

Poor Javi, hope he pulls it together. If i were Brian, I'd be alarmed every second of the warm-ups for obvious reasons.

Disaster start with popped quad attempt, but better 2nd half. He looks disappointed

FS: 66.93+68.58 = 135.51, 212.60, 2nd (out of 7)

 

[OS]

Good on Max trying to interpret the slower section more, this is a better performance than last outing. First section need more work though...

 

[Doggygirl]

Awwww....so sad for Max. I really like his music choices this year. He will never be the most fabulous at presentation, and I think both short and free program choices are styles that can lift him up in that regard. When the jumps don't work.... Hope he skates lights out at nationals.

"Nothing's fine, I'm torn. I'm all out of faith. This is how I feel. I'm cold and I am shamed."

What an appropriate song in the K&C for Max Aaron...

 

[charmblade]

Hopefully Javier was just taking it easy in the warm-up due to the tendonitis. Maybe he wants to save those hard quad landings for the program. But yeah, definitely a little worrisome.

 

[silverfoxes]

They said "he didn't fall, he just wasn't doing them" hwell:

Hopefully just reserving his energy...it'll be ok, I'm sure. It has to be ok...

 

[Mrs. P]

Woah those judges really tanked Max. He didn't even break 70 in PCS!

Jason Brown slay count -1.

 

[apple123]

Brown undermarked blabantly on PCS over the competition though. TR and SS scores are crazy.

I think Jason is quite slow these days. He did a lot of transition but his skating skills are not that great.
