Karen's brother Jeffrey won the silver in intermediate dance.

Last year, he won the gold in juvenile dance.

Go, Emmanuel :yay:.

Emmanual's up!! I loved his short :luv17:

Emmanuel stole one of Yuzu's exhibition costume?

NBC has started with interview with Karen... apparently her brother Jeff won in intermediate ice dance this week as well. Not bad for the Chen family this week.

Or for the other Chen family - Nathan!

Karen seems to be handling herself well so far. Cute interview, she seems to have a good head on her shoulders and doesn't get too over-pressured or overthink things. Kristi's advice to her that Nationals is just a big party actually seemed helpful! Just let it go and enjoy yourself, and that's what Karen did.

Yes, Jeff is very talented, but I think he won silver. Hence the Andrea Joyce joke about Karen trying to outdo him.

YAY EMMANUEL! He combo-ed the second 4S after messing up the first! No +REP deductions!

 

[breadstal]

His quad is amazing He's pretty slow though.

LOL Johnny just called Nathan 'King of the quads'.

Ohh Hanyu... light that fire!!!! Burn baby burn...

 

[karne]

My octopus died.

Now it alive again. Sorry Emmanuel

 

[SarahSynchro]

mrrice, are you watching Emmanuel Savary? He's your Smurf kindred spirit!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Emmanual's looking good in a bright blue ombre kimono shirt. Step out of the quad, falls on 3A. I think the music, while nice, is inducing him to skate too slow for the jumps. HELL YEAH that toepick work to the drums!

Nnnn, wild pop...

He looks pretty tight. I thought it might have been deliberate in the beginning to go with the katas, but I think he was just tight.

Oh well, still happy to see him here

Just came on, don't know if this has been discussed. What a lovely seamless transition from IN to NBC for the men.
I may write IN and see what they have to say, but I'm sure they would pass the buck to NBC for not showing the first 2 groups of women when NBC had the hand off from IN.

 

[da96103]

Rough skate for Savary.

It's both flattering and lacking in feathers. Very un-Yuzuru imo

 

[ruffledgrouse]

This is when you know it's getting bad.

Alex is great! Peter Gabriel right... very nice program

Love the flow, speed, refinement at last...

 

[Chemistry66]

Seriously though, a 3Lz+1Lo+3F is majorly impressive.

 

[desertskates]

This program is really nice. And I love the shirt!
