Men SP starting order

[Mrs. P]

Didn't skating order matter? He was the first one who did really well in this comp.

Yes, basically group six (with the exception of Adrien) basically did not do very well. Ryan Bradley barely qualified (though all the meldowns following him made him not last!) So Jeremy was the first clean skater in group seven. Koz was right after him and Chan was later in the group.

Argh, I see Ryan Bradley must have had his usually meltdown.:disapp:

go adam!!!!....he spun out of 3A but AMAZING Rippon lutz!!!

 

[evangeline]

Not bad for Adam, just a wild landing and over-rotation on his 3A.

Love his 'tano lutz though, perfectly timed to the crescendo of the music!

His shirt reminds me of seaweed, though.

 

[Bennett]

Well, S/Z and Plushy skated in the first flight for the Olympics in the SP and did just fine.

Plush is an exception anywhere in the comp. He was considered the one to beat.

 

[ryoko]

wow. great lutz from rippon. that was awesome.

 

[evangeline]

80.11 for Adam! He looks thrilled.

...did the announcer just call Adam "Evan Rippon"?

 

[figuristka]

Aww Adam is adorable.

USA: Jeremy 6 + Adam 7 = 13.
I can breathe again.

 

[Phoenix347]

US had just enough for 3 places at the moment. 6 + 7 = 13.

 

[cjsk8fan]

Well until the long program anyway.

About 10 points more than his PB at the senior level

Anything can happen in the long.

 

[cjsk8fan]

I do think that Jeremy suffered from an early skate.

 

[Ren]

That's the first thing I thought of when I first saw that SP. The second one was, "A seagull entangled in seaweed?"

 

[mishieru07]

Anything can happen in the long.

Definitely. It ain't over til it's over.

Oda aside, the men really brought it today!

I do think that Jeremy suffered from an early skate.

I think the score is fair, although his PCS could be a little better around Kozuka range. He landed all of his jumps but they seem tight. The landing on his 3A is shaky, so maybe thats where he lost the point???

 

[lavender]

I'm so proud of Adam.

 

[TCAngel18]

well, im satisfied, well mostly....wish jeremy was higher, but the rest im ok with...only upset about adam not being in the final flight...
