Men's Short Program

[draqq]

Michal Brezina

Going all kung fu Verner style.

Solid 3A. A three-turn out on the 3T in the 3F+3T, but a very high 3F. Might get an edge call on the 3Lz, but it was completed nonetheless. He's improved his edge quality from last year, very nice to see. A bit slow on the change of foot on the combination spin. Not much artistry you can put in a kung fu program; still, a good performance for him given his shaky season so far.

SP: 77.50 (Hmm... overmarked in my opinion)

You can quite easily dispute Patrick's score. He was technically brilliant but artistically still somewhat robotic. Although his PCS actually weren't really overscored this time - the tech mark was. His spins aren't as good as some of the other skaters. He has easy positions in the combination spin and his Camel-change-Camel is only a Level 3 and with less speed than one might wish for. He did not deserve more than +1 GOE for the 4Toe+3Toe or the 3Axel either. No doubt the judges gave him +2's and maybe even some +3's on the Quad-Triple just for the hell of it.

Would you have him ahead of Brian Joubert? Because I'm pretty sure cloudkicker wouldn't. I agree, though I would've been fine with +2 for the combo (not the 3A).

They need a new after skate Soundtrack, it's been looping Britney, Katy Perry & Ke$ha lol

Brzezina looked good. Better than I expected. I love this program and costume for him. What a contrast from his Olympic argyle. What was the music?

But those long, slow camel spins that he and others are doing have to go. BOR-ing.

I think he's keeping his LP pink argyle.

Go Daisuke!

3F/3T? Clean
3A ok
3Lz Clean

maybe its the lack of sleep, but did Dai just do two 3flips?

"An American in Paris" I believe. Done it for the past 2 seasons.

Thanks Blades. Good points.

Daisuke sure knows how to bring it at the Big Show!

 

[herios]

Very nice job by Dai, Yeah

That's what I thought but I think the last one looked like a Lutz right at the last second.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Dai was on. Should be interesting to compare PCS.

 

[Mrs. P]

Nice work Dai. I think he should get higher PCS than Patrick, but we'll see...

His lutz technique is questionable, probably meant to hide a flutz. Too soon of a turn before the toe pick, doesn't get a deep outside edge.

Thank you to all who have welcomed me! That's very nice! And thank you so much for the link to this Latvian channel. If I only had seen it earlier, then I could have seen everything. I've already watched Chan's performance on YouTube. Thank you all so much!
