ugh bolero

 

[WeakAnkles]

13.35 for the combo? I guess Mr K got extra points for the hops...

Yes that's my point. Machida has great lines, but does he get the PCS he deserved? I need to look at the protocols when it's posted to see how the PCS stacked up.

Oh I see what you mean. I'm sure the many fans on this board will disagree, but it's not as much as Machida being underscored as it is other skaters are wildly overscored.

 

[sabinfire]

Alright, this is hardly a competition anymore. At least I'll still be tuning in for the ladies FS.

Hanyu's short made me take notice. I just love it. He would have had close to 100 if he didn't fall on the lutz. Love Hanyu but he really does need to become consistent.

Me too Sorry Maxim...

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

That score

I know. A fall on a 4S, a fall while skating, a double lutz, and a scratchy 3A. And if not for the fall deduction, he'd STILL be clearing 80 points. :sarcasm:

 

[jkun]

Ughhhhh who will lead..

 

[rollerblade]

Oh God, please no. There's only so much I can take!

Kovtun is the only one with two quads in the short. But with all that bobbles I don't think he can beat Hanyu. We shall see!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Argh... stream cut out! What's happening with Kovtun?

 

[jkun]

Me too Sorry Maxim...

Not just you. His skating is not pleasing to me. . . I really don't want him to lead with magic pcs. Wow. But even after 2 quads, his TES is still 5 points off from Hanyu o_o

 

[evangeline]

Messy, though not a disastrous skate from Kovtun. Should (and deserves to) go behind Hanyu.

 

[HanDomi]

Argh... stream cut out! What's happening with Kovtun?

Turn out of 3A, and after opening combo

 

[IcyEdges]

Something makes me feel like Javi has too much distraction leading into this with all the promo work and media stuff he's been doing. Maybe not enough on ice training time and well his nerves and the pressure got to him. How sad.

Same. I hope he becomes more consistent in the future but I'm happy that he smiled today.

I just think we should review the rules of the Predictions Game
