2014 Worlds Men Short Program

[Mista Ekko]

I get his a "Star of the future", But i don't agree that Ngoyan deserves better PCS than Pfeiffer here

Pfieffer is a lovely skater, with 2 bad landings though, And Nguyan had a major disruption, Followed by a major buildup to an underrotated jump,
And very juniorish choreography

Walker has powerful jumps and spins to this Japanese inspired program. The audience is applauding along with the music.

I don't know about anyone else, but I thought that program was really weird. The costume didn't do anything for me, either.

We love the traditional Japanese bow he is giving the audience and they do too.

Balde to close group one.

Nice to see a Swiss spinner.

Pfeiffer is an excellent example of why corridor judging in PCS is such codswallop. He has some of the most interesting choreography and interpretation and will never get the credit for it because of the way PCS is currently judged. Ridiculous.

Walker started with arm gestures right out of the Laetitia Hubert School of Bizarre Arm And Hand Movements, but the some interesting spins. I'm not sure the costume worked--it's a bit too cheerleading skirt, y'know?

Bobbles on all three jump passes for Balde. He is still working the performance though.

Audience is clapping along to the thumping music for his step sequence.

Gah, one of Nam or Elladj has got to make the free, or we (Canada) have to rely on Kevin to be in the top 10. ohnoohnoohno.

Well, the last 3 post Olympic male SP's have been quite good

It has nothing to do with what you said but does anyone else feel like men and women take turns splatting? When men skate well, women fall left and right in an event. The other way around the following event.

Group 2 take to the ice for their warm up.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Remind me why Martinez isn't here ?


And did Nguyan get full credit for that Axle ?

Easy 3R/3R from Caluza. Good 3R from Rakimgaliev.

Am I the only crazy person who keeps 2 livestreams going? The Eurosport video stream keeps freezing on me but I like the commentary...so I have ISU open in another window.

Hi 3A from Rakimgaliev. Romanenkov looks strong as well.

Or we are both crazy .... I'm doing the same thing as you.

Bobbles on two of his jump passes but he's working the step sequence and the crowd is clapping along with Strid.
