[Icey]

I wish they wouldn't leave the scores up during the warmup...come on...

They heard you. lol

First people complain about not having the scores, now they are sick of seeing them.

 

[TMC]

SUPERNERVOUS, she shouted, panting

But Jason's costume looks pretty good, eh?

 

[andromache]

She at least kept it tucked in.

Probably easier for ladies usually since their costumes are tighter?

Yeah, that's true. But 30 seconds would be sufficient!

3Lz - !
CCoSp3p

Ok, but jumps lacked crispness, he had to fight a bit for them

SP: 76.98, 1/6

 

[Icey]

Jason's program is coming off rather flat for me.

 

[andromache]

Shocked not to see him try the quad...

Wonder if Kori thinks it's more important for him to win here than try the quad and risk losing?

 

[SaraM]

Not really diggin Jasons new SP, not much different from last seasons...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I think Jason's costume may be looking far better tailored than the last time I saw it

Yes, so much better. A fun skate as always from Jason.

Alright, I'm off to get ready for work. Depending on what my clients want done, I may or may not be back in time to catch some of the pairs. If not, see you all tomorrow for the free!

Yeah, the schtick is tiresome...he looked really slow to me as well

 

[Interspectator]

That is a jam-packed program he's got. --I just don't like jazz, sorry Jason. But it wasn't bad. Great energy, as always.

 

[gravy]

Oh.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm just going to take a deep breath here.

Yeah, hence the decision to not try the quad. They tend to change the layout, so I don't think they'll be sticking to this one forever.

It looked like Jason had to work hard to just do everything else. And given the competition this far he was going to be first even at 80 percent

Jakub KRSNAK (SVK)

Black clothes, gloves, white suspenders

3Lz - twofoot, stepout
3T+2T

SP: thirty-something, 7/7

 

[Sackie]

Wow the judges were generous with Jason's score. 76 for that program.

 

[gravy]

Krsnak's costume reminds me of Abbott's from 2012:

[Tavi...]

Jason looks much better in new costume but I'm disappointed he didn't try quad and that 3A didn't look great - maybe because he's not used to it there? He didn't seem slow to me but I don't like the extra cuteness they've added.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm just going to stay calm here.
