wow... he did the best heart i have ever seen in the KnC

ISU bio says "collecting rocks and stones, collecting old coins, Ukiyo-e (color print of Japanese everyday life in the Edo period)" so I think the 'koi' part was supposed to be coins. But man he has some old-man tastes.

Honestly, I think I misheard "coins" as "kois." Still seems like the type who might visit a Japanese garden every once in a while... I don't mind people with those types of hobbies. Heck, he could be an old soul...

Canadian M. Li is wearing a sailor's uniform?

Oh La Boheme

At least no Aznavour... FFFFFFFFFF

What is the craic with the "Na na na na na" in the background of the first song?

Never in my days did I think I would hear "Sweet Dreams" being sung by Marilyn Manson. But, you know what, I liked it!

I take back what I just said. The second version of the chorus was awful.

Not keen on the top that Aurélien is wearing. Maybe if the red was up around his shoulders and as you went down it turned into black to match his back leggings.

Goes into 2nd. But still a massive 30-odd point gap to Rio.

I love the 2a eu 3f but David should just do 3f-2a... so much easier.

 

[4everchan]

I think David will not grow too tall.... Canada may have finally a short enough skater

Li is darling

My jaw dropped when I saw the name of David's coach. One of my professors at Uni was called Eileen Murphy.

By and large, I'm with Graham. I like David's costume, and think it ties in with the song well.

Maybe the black section could have been broken up a bit more.

Yes. Enjoyed that programme.

Goes into 2nd. They're getting closer to Rio. David's only 20-odd points behind!

Konstantin and David should exchange pants colours...

Too bad about the opening triple Axel, but otherwise he really nailed the jumps.

The Murphys are coaching a huge crop of young men, including national champion Wesley Chiu. Interesting you just heard that name for the first time.

that's' quite an achievement for David considering Rio has a quad and 2 3a in his program... and well David is not yet doing these jumps
