Thanks, Alex D! This one seems to work for me! Yaaaaaay! http://www.bestsportgo.tv/20130925/vv-649767--5242f46da79e08.58998087.html

NP, i just saw Es running on tv here in the Restaurant, will head back to the ice rink now.

@ Sara

Es is not at Oberstdorf, they sit in Paris so they dont have acces to the press centre.

What a treat to see Jason and Nobunari back to back! Two solid early season performances. Glad to see Jeremy Ten got a PB too.

Both Jason and Oda were amazing!!

Too many jump mistakes. I like Mario, but I'm not sure the music works with skating, though audience responded to it.

SP: 31.65+28.61-1.00 = 59.28, in 13th (out of 32)

 

[draqq]

Interestingly, Nobunari Oda used this Mario music first, albeit with fewer sound effects. So it definitely works with skating.

But at any rate, I would rather have seen other video game music used since there's so much orchestral music available from the likes of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, just to name a few.

Just watched Elena's SP: why is her dress YELLOW??!! :scratch: the music is dramatic and intense, the colour should be darker!!

Too bad about the jumps. He needs to do better in the FS, if he wants to go to the Olympics. I hoped for better after Anita's meltdown yesterday... :disapp:

Jason Brown got all level 4s (and only one to do so)! Nobunari still had higher BV and GOE, though. Jason still got solid +GOE, just lost .1 for the tentative 3F-3T combo.

Nice work Nobunari!

What's up with the low scoring judge? He gave Jason 5s in PCS, LOL.

All in all a good start in the men's competition.

There was also one (the same?) judge who gave Nobunari 6.00 & 6.25 in PCS

 

[Mrs. P]

There was also one (the same?) judge who gave Nobunary 6.00 & 6.25 in PCS

I bet it was the same judge! Thankfully those scores are thrown out!

 

[FSGMT]

And one judge in Ice Dance gave 5.0s and 4.50 to M/K, marks between 5.50 and 6.00 to the top2 couples and 7s to O'B/M...

 

[Mrs. P]

That said, I just realized that all the skaters in the Top 10 got personal bests....are the judges being extra generous today?

 

[karne]

Brendan got +GOE or neutral on EVERYTHING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!
