senior men short program

[kate]

3T was clean on replay, he just a weird landing

Not sure about the crosses on the costume: Ravel's Bolero has nothing to do with religious faith. Not offensive to me, just seems to be an odd choice.

It looks exactly like Sara Bailey's dress in the junior FD...and they were skating to the Beatles.

Is anybody else's feed super choppy?

Go Jeremy!!!!!!!!

 

[Tenorguy]

He looks nervous.... Go for it Jeremy

 

[emma]

does an 80+ score without a quad seem high to anyone?

Good for Evan - sounds like a solid beginning.

Lysacek 83.59

It looks like it doesn't matter he skated first...good for him...but go jeremy and Johnny

 

[HCOSurfer]

Woo Jeremy landed all of his jumps

 

[kate]

Jeremy Abbott (Adagio)

Taking a long time to get to his starting position
3F+3T perfect
He looks like he's concentrating
3A nice (same free leg scrape as Evan)
CCoSp4 fast, perfectly centered
3Lz very nice
FSSp3 (he came up too far in the COE)
That extra piece of fabric on his costume looks like a tail when he turns
CiSt ok
SlSt not as complex as either of Evan's
CSSp4
Very nice for him. He's very pleased.

Awesome job from Jeremy! I was so worried for him since he looked incredibly nervous. A beautiful skate.

 

[Tenorguy]

Beautiful job Jeremy! How are they going to score that against Evan's skate.?

 

[kate]

Nancy has no idea about COP calls. Both did a 3F, a 3Lz, and a 3T, they all add up to the same -- it doesn't matter which was in combination.

Abbott 86.40
Lysacek 83.59

The draw at nationals is public, though. The other competitors or coaches would know if they somehow rigged to have Evan in the first group, and would be incredibly quick to complain.

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying anthing was rigged. I'm merely suggesting that since there was an "uncommon" ice resurfacing after the warm up that perhaps they were clearing the ice because Evan was first in the order so that it looked better for the cameras... that's all. It's far fetched, probably not what the real reason is, but it works for me it could be that NBC asked for each warm up to be done like that.

Jeremy beat EVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HCOSurfer]

JEREMY'S INFRONT OF EVAN

 

[london_calling]
