Well, he does like his recycling.

How many years did he recycle this programme for? And "Earth Song"?

3? 4?

Loved that voiceover....not

I don't even know where to start with that. The whole thing seems an unfocused vent...

There are two types of figure skating fans:

I swear everytime I make such a comment someone just above me stated how much they liked vests (moose) or a dress (Jeanie) or now grey pants.

He skated to this forever. It is the figure skating program I've seen live most often. Actually, more often than I would have liked....

Maurizio always look like a happy pill in the kiss and cry

 

[YuBluByMe]

Litvintsev is much too good to be in the first group. I hope he has a redemption skate.

 

[TT_Fin]

I like also blue pants...

 

[Anni234]

After SP I will always remember Litvintsev as the guy with a Lion King program, but a tiger pattern shirt

and trashy stuff (me)

I also like trashy stuff, but even in that people can apparently have different taste.

Just when I was thinking that Zandron was going to stumble his way through the rest of the program he started landing cleanly one jump another. I was watching and eating simultaneously. For real. Maurizio I think is my favourite skater in this 1st flight

My favorite was Ivan, but I respect and appreciate that Zandron was able to combine a theme that is important to him with some decent skating. My second favorite skater so far.

I know he was a skater himself, but when I listen to him I get the feeling it's someone who has watched two competitions in his life. I don't know why that is. Maybe he's trying so hard to give the audience what he thinks they want to hear that everything he knows gets eaten up. I don't listen to him anymore but I remember all his completely useless comments which are on the level of my commentary here about dresses he likes, music he likes - as pretty much the only comment about a program. How is that appropriate for a professional commentator? Not even talking about his extreme biases.

Maybe I didn't notice much of that because I just talk over his commentary when I'm forced to hear it (as I said, it makes me aggressive, and I don't need that energy in my life), but I do think he does some more technical comments now? Sure, he still does comment on packaging, and his pointed comments and deliberate half-information, but at least he doesn't say blatantly wrong things as some commentators in other sports and other countries from what I've heard.

Everything he doesn't say (even if it is important), seems to be a deliberate choice not to say it or from a general lack of interest. Like for example, I'm pretty sure he didn't even mention that Filip Taschler had a serious back injury, which does seem quite significant, no?

well merry Christmas. and look at the seasonal color palette in the score box

 

[Ichatdelune]

Why is Litvintsev skating to Boccelli in a Nutcracker outfit?

 

[jgg220]

This program and music remind me of Christmas leftovers: a little bit fun, a little bit sloppy, and a little bit floppy.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

They should have waited with the second type of quad another season. He needs to build some reputation first. Vladimir won't be happy with the score, I fear.

 

[yuumagical]

Litvinsev was really bringing the Christmas spirit...while the Christmas music was still playing...

There's still some old Christmas cookies left in my kitchen, I should probably throw them away sometime...

 

[Jeanie19]

Vladimir. Great costume and program. A couple of mistakes, but still a really good skate.

 

[Ares]

Not a bad skate from Litvintsev but I doubt he can move to the top 15 or something save for a splatfest. I liked that he was full of energy till the very end.


Some jumps looked URd to me

why there was a Nutcracker section in this mix? so many questions and no answers at all
