Skate Canada 2012 Mens - Long Program (4:10PM PST/7:10PM EST)

Does Mishin make his skaters do run-throughs and double run-throughs at regular practices? A la Frank Carroll?
 
Gachinski has absolutely no program. He has no transitions at all...no upper body movement I hope people do not want us to go back to this Plushenko like skating. I will take 5 falls from Chan any day to what we just watched.

ITA and this coming from a neutral party re:Chan. I never get Artur's scores...especially the pcs.
 
Gachinski is done, a hopeless headcase, I think it will be best if he retires after this season
even Kovtun a junior could outskate him with that score
 
Balde

Black vest and pants, white shirt. Moonlight Sonata

3 flip?
3 lutz
3 axel - pulled it out
3 loop - fall out
circular steps
camel spin - not 8 rotations
2 axel
3 lutz / 2 toe
camel spin
3 flip?
3 sal/2 toe
spin

sorry guys - his lutzes and flips are almost indistinguishable to me.
 
Tilak, this feed is a find. We owe you. I just made fresh homemade double chocolate chip cookies and if I could web over a couple to you, I would!

So you think he will make it to the end of this season? I don't see a Russian nationals with his level!
 
Balde really disgusted with his score, but he shouldn't be. That was a fairly flawed though interesting skate. He should be able to improve as the season goes on. He should also adjust his music mix so that percussion is toned down--it overpowers and grates on the ears. Distracting.
 
Balde has charisma to spare, but it seemed like there was a fair amount of skating on two feet.
 
I wouldn't rule Gachinsky out. He surely has a lot of talent. It's a pity that he totally blew it at worlds and didn't have a good start to this season. He has proved in the past that he can do it - just remember the euro12. I just hope he gets it together and finds the confidence he needs to take it to the next level.
