Mens Short

With all the injuries, mishaps, and withdrawals, this Worlds has been such a roller coaster. Now we have climbed, slowly, to the top of the track; fasten your seatbelts, everyone. What I hope most for is no more injuries!
 
Abbott was great - the crowd was mesmerised. Have you seen the girls behind Abbott after he finished his program? They looked as if they were going to ask for his number.

Love the music, love the choreography - Abbott and Voronov (his steps improved enormously, but I think they were right in placing Abbott in front of Voronov) together showed what I love about men's skating, the diversity this competition can offer is amazing.

Abbott got the highest PCS - that stupid Axel hurt him big time, he could have been in the top five at the end of the day if hadn't popped that Axel.
 
OMG! These judges are SO TOUGH! Jeremy's only mistake was a 1Axel, otherwise the 4toe+2toe and 3Lutz were fine and well done I thought. I too would have him in 1st right now, regardless of his rookie status! I thought his PCS should have been higher!! His interpretation, choreography, execution, transitions, and edge work is the class of the field to this point in the competition.

I LOVE Abbott and really like Voronov. I have an adoration for Ponsero as well! I really hope they can all move up in the LP!! I agree, the girls behind Jeremy Abbott in the picture looked absolutely mesmerized and thrilled by him. I am too, girls!!

While it may have been posted somewhere in the earlier pages of this thread, does anyone have a internet video feed link?

He got 2,5 points more PCS than Berntsson and 3,5 more than Schultheiss - which is not a tiny margin PCS-wise. He screwed it up all by himself with the Axel - my German commentators also said that his last step sequence (which they loved otherwise) can't be more than level 2, perhaps just level 1.
 
Warm up of the next group.

Stephane Carriere of US, looking very sharp.
Johny Weir of US
Alban Preaubert is in the warm-up group.
Sergei Davidov, Belarus
Tomas Verner, the crowd is going wild
Stephane Lambiel, oh boy, this is going to be mighty good.

Stephen Carriere is landing his jumps VERY tight today. Hand down on the 3Axel. The solo triple was landed but wasn't very pretty either. I'd have him behind Jeremy Abbott for sure.
