2nd group on the ice. No Brian.
Yeah the crowd seemed a bit down when it was announced Brian had withdrew to injury. 
Without him in it the competition really comes down a big notch imho.
Still, I'm looking forward to Amodio's excellent MJ interpretation on ice (his is the best by far, way better than Tomas Verner's imho). And also I want to see how Brandon Mroz does this time, as well as Kozuka of course. And this surprise French man whom completed a 4/3 yesterday without me watching. (8^O

The most beautiful single jumps you will ever see.
Chafik of France got the crowd going, but I have to say I don't like his style, especially grating were the airplane arms & the scratchy landings on his jumps; he really needs to hold out the edge on his jumps much longer instead of putting his foot down right away.
But except for the pop or fall? on his opening quad & subsequent 3A, everything else was good. And when his jumps are *on* they are to-die-for in the same vein as Vaughn Chipeur. That's what I call a natural JUMPER!

Brandon did something that may have been a popped jump, but I'm not sure.
Wow, I'm really starting to like Brandon Mroz and definitely think he will challenge for the top of the podium at Nationals! 
His only bobble was the fallout on his second 3A. I looooooooooove the powerful music at the beginning, it really fits his strong style of skating, and the 3R right on the beat of the music was FAB!!! Not to mention his opening quad followed up by a 3A/3T combo! With him I can just sit back, relax, and *know* he will do well. As he kept landing jump after jump after jump I got more & more & more excited, lol.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRANDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree,He needs more athletic type music...
not crazy about florents--too many rest stops inbetween -badly choreographed by moving hands. which allows him to stop and rest whereas other skaters can't do that. too easy for him to do the jumps after rest stops.
decent skate--probably get huge score though. undeserved-with rest stops

Florent was really on!
I was also doing the math, if Amodio stays second ahead of Mroz, let's see his total now.
Well they're both FAB, but like with G&G versus M&D at the 1994 Olympics, it all comes down to style, whichever you prefer? In the words of Scott Hamilton "the passion" of Florent, or "the perfection" of Takahiko? It's apples or oranges.
We shall see...
