Yeah, but the judging in GPF is different from what we have here.
And PC hasn't skated yet.

"without quadruple, I'm sorry, but, it's not men's figure skating" - Plushenko in his post-skate TSN interview. hmmm ... it's a throwdown ...

 

[skatemom1122]

AH! You've got to be kidding. Feed switched to hockey.

 

[Alatariel]

Plushenko is admitting to being disappointed, didn't eat, but, he skated clean ... has sore muscle problems ... he is off to talk to the doctors ...

Where did you hear it?

Oh that would so suck if he was hurt!

 

[antmanb]

Robin Cousins talking crap again now "the skaters here have qualified by points not by country" what on earth are you on tonight Robin???!!!

Ah thank you! BBC feed isn't covering those, just the skates! Thank you!

Congrats to Florent..love this guy. Good luck to Lambiel, Jeremy, Brezina (another great up and comer), Denis Ten ... even Johnny, Patrick and Evan. I actually hope they all skate clean and see if the judges actually stop manipulating the scores.

So in that after skate interview:

1- it was difficult, I lost 2 kilos.
2- I'm not well
3- Skating with no quad, it is not men's skating
4- we need more triple triple triple triple triple combination.

That is why I dislike the ugly diva as much as I do much.

Classact as usual.

I'm waiting for Patrick Chan's response. Heh.

I think Plushenko's score is very fair. They didn't "give" him any gifts. If he's to win another medal, he's gonna earn it the hard way. And his score of 90.85 is definitely beatable. It'll depend on the other skaters. I think that even the quadless short program skaters have a chance to make similar marks or close to it, so the medals will come down to the long program.

 

[Hikaru]

Javier in the next group. Let's go, neighbour!

Yes!!, vamos Javi!!!!!!

Cheers!! Drink up!

Good news! NBC is showing all of groups 4-6 according to the "You be the judge" app.

I think the judges did a good job with Plushy's PCS scores...he was marked significantly lower for Transitions!

[Scout]

maybe he means the order of skate? more points=skate in later flights?

 

[antmanb]

I'm waiting for Patrick Chan's response. Heh.

He'll be too busy transitioning from the ice to the backstage area!!!
