The end results would be difficult to predict. This is very exciting. I hope Voronov medals.

I'm pulling for the top three to stay as they are; that would be an awesome podium!

 

[Wrlmy]

1st warm-up group is on the ice.
I'm excited to watch Shawn's program again!

 

[Wrlmy]

Jeremy Ten:
3axel, free leg might have touched the ice
3lutz-3toe, crowd goes wild
3flip
footwork little slow
spread eagle into 3loop
3lutz-2toe
3flip? Ice Network froze
3salchow? IN froze again. Geez.
2axel
Probably will move up. Clean program AFAIK

 

[fiercemao]

P.J. Wong said Ten's 3S didn't count. The Russian skater is so duuuulllll.

 

[Wrlmy]

David Wilson is so fun!

Vladimir Uspenski:

Audio sucks. IN's got to fix this
big two-foot on 3axel
doubles and two-foots another axel.
very cautious
3lutz
3loop
IN decided this is not worth showing
falls on very cautious 3flip
3loop, probably two-footed
double axel
his heart is not into program
hand down on 3toe

 

[Wrlmy]

Only thing the Uspenskis have in common is unfortunate hair.

Yasuharu Nanri:

well groomed, bad costume
3axel-2toe
3lutz-2toe (or very underrotated 3toe)
IN froze
step out of 3loop
IN froze again, but it was a combination
hand down on lutz
very slow
hand down on 3toe
3salchow
Very unfortunate choice of music

Many thanks to Wrlmy for calling the elements! :thumbsup:

I hope Shawn shines and wins this group!

 

[Wrlmy]

Anton Kovaleski:

Nice to see a Ukranian skater.
2axel-3toe
3f-3t, down on 3t
3lutz-2toe, long telegraph
wonky landing on 3loop
3lutz
fecking IN
He fell on something
fecking IN, I want my money back

 

[Wrlmy]

Only Shawn can make this group interesting.
I wish him all the luck in the world.

Shawn Sexy Sawyer:

3flip-3toe
3axel, 2-foot
3lutz IN froze
russian split into gorgeous 3loop
2axel-3toe
gorgeous spiral
IN froze, but the crowd went wild twice, so I guess he landed two following jumping passes.
IN went black.

Is icenetwork freezing for everyone? I've had perfect picture.

Yay Shawn (aka Jonathan Rhys Meyers look-alike!)!!

 

[emma]

thanks for the pbp, wrmly. sorry it's so frustrating for you with IN freezing up.

 

[*Sniper*]

A huge score for Sawyer!!

I'm so jealous. Was it Shawn's pb?

 

[museksk8r]

I feel for all the skating fans who paid for Ice Network coverage. I've heard nothing but complaints on all the online skating forums I visit. I'm glad I decided not to subscribe as I would be furious with their results.

Glad it sounds as if Sexy Sawyer sizzled in both his appearance and performance!

 

[Medusa]

A huge score for Sawyer!!

Huge - HUGE!! But he was great - except for the Axel. Everything went well, everything was fluid - no other jump besides the Axel looked shaky. It's just a bit sad that his basic skating, I mean edging and also the speed, doesn't seem to be on par with Chan's, Kozuka's etc. But his musicality and interpretation is outstanding. So I think that 67 points is a bit low for PCS.

 

[feraina]

Wow, Shawn Sawyer was *amazing*! That was a phenomenal performance, both technically and artistically. The jumps had great flow and a sense of ease about them. He has impeccable line, carriage, stretch, and he skated with such freedom and control at the same time. And it was musical and exciting. Wow!

Totally deserved high score. I really hope that he will medal, that performance was incredible.

 

[Wrlmy]

Oh Evan

 

[fiercemao]

Sawyer is fantastic. One of my favorite men's programs this season.
