God, what is he wearing?! And why is he doing so many triple salchows?

FS: 54.03/78.80 = 132.73, 199.70, 1st (out of 7)

 

[LRK]

I'm guessing at least one of the 3Ss was meant to be a quad?

 

[juuryokunashi]

I LOLed at his costume as well, but it went well with his music/program, so *shrugs*

 

[silverfoxes]

Well, it was a vast improvement over yesterday. Very interesting program. At least he didn't wear a lion costume

 

[bramweld]

^^Maybe its the only consistent jump he has at the moment. The men's discipline seems to have moved on without Amodio some time ago. But good for him if he still enjoys competing.

Problems with 3A, but overall solid skate

Me too, what surprise me is that he didn´t use a 3A.

 

[yuki]

Good skate for Martinez! Shame about the fall, but the rest was solid - I especially liked the step sequence. Lovely costume, too.
Him still being lower than Amodio in the FS with that TES difference is

 

[Meoima]

I wonder, is Amodio injured? :scratch: He did so badly yesterday. It's still early so he might get better but...:scratch:

 

[juuryokunashi]

Me too, what surprise me is that he didn´t use a 3A.

I'm guessing one of the 3S is a failed attempt at something else too. He actually looked displeased with his performance and didn't even wait for his scores at the K&C (or at least he wasn't in the camera when his scores were announced).

 

[cruzceleste]

I wonder, is Amodio injured? :scratch: He did so badly yesterday. It's still early so he might get better but...:scratch:

Maybe he is planning to up his tech during the season

 

[silverfoxes]

Don't think so. He's always been a major headcase. It's unfortunate because he's really great when he can keep it all together. I hoped this season would be different...well, it's still early.

Florent's PCS being higher than Michael's is to be expected I guess; Michael is still very flaily, unpolished on ice, compared to Florent's years of experience that he showed on ice a while ago.
