Senior Men's LP (starts at 4pm EST)

[Joesitz (RIP)]

That is, if NBC does not have a reason to preempt it.

I'm assuming Bradley will skate to a kind of Andrew Sisters rendition of Bugle Boy of Company B. That is a jazzy blues number. It's great to do a Lindy Hop to it off skates but I think jazzy numbers are difficult to do jumps in a routine while skating in the jitterbug mode.

I'm sure Ryan will be a lot of fun but can he keep up the pace for jumping?

The top ten finishers will be interesting as there are a number of good Men in the Field.

Thanks for starting the thread Joe!

So excited.

But I thought Ryan skated to the Bugle Boy for his SP.

Is anyone else's IN terrible? I can't get through more than 10 seconds without it freezing. :/ And restarting isn't helping.

Yeah, I really don't want a repeat of what happened with CBC television when they dropped the Canadians Men's SP for hockey.

I'm assuming Bradley will skate to a kind of Andrew Sisters rendition of Bugle Boy of Company B.

I heard that Ryan was reusing his "Amadeus" LP from last season. Or are you referring to his SP?

Mine quit out too but is working fine now. I enjoyed that skater who informed us he wasn't wearing any make up...lol

mine too. the sound keeps going but the image stops.

Oh that's right! I'd forgotten. I love that program.

 

[Layfan]

It's just the worst when they fall on non-jump elements. I can't believe that happened to him at the very end when everything else went kind of okay.

Wow! Is anyone else watching this?

Jonathan Cassar had a gorgeous program to Schindler's Litz! Amazing circular spread eagle. He seems to have very nice jumps. Wonder if there's any chance of him upgrading his difficulty.

Got a lot of the crowd on its feet.

Then he made everyone laugh saying "no chain this time everybody."

 

[alexeifan]

Loved Jonathan too, wish he'd get as much points for those spread eagles as the jumps. Could watch them over and over!!

Ha! Johnny Weir won the reader's choice award. Bet he loves that.

Aw, what Johnny said was sweet. And he texted Ryan last night saying "that was gorgeous." Who knew?

 

[alexeifan]

Johnny looked happy to get his award..nice speech said he didn't want future skaters to be pressured into their music and costume choices

 

[Layfan]

There a 45 minute break between the second and third groups? Isn't that weird?

 

[alexeifan]

I think it's because the next group isn't live on NBC is it?

 

[alexeifan]

Not many people are on here..lol is no one into the men?? How sad lol

 

[PolymerBob]

They are not on IceNetwork; they are not on NBC.
Where are they?

Where are they?

Right now, I believe they're presenting Johnny Weir with the reader's choice (Michelle Kwan Trophy) award. They'll be back at 4 PM on NBC.
