Group 1 -
Tomas Verner - free pgm / skated through 1st jumps / great speed & flow / looks like he’ll be skating through all of them / really skating the strt ftwrk full out - I like it then into the combo spin to end the pgm
Yannik Ponsero - short pgm / skated through an axel / and another jump / combo spin starts backwards - / skated through a lutz / back sit is fast as is the front sit - good spin / I liked the beginning part of his music but am not really fussy on the 2nd part - it just doesn’t seem to suit him (IMO) - he’s skating to it but . . .
Daisuke isn’t here and hasn’t turned in his music so we get 2min 50sec of background
During Daisuke’s ‘music’ Sergei and Jamal were both working on axels - I saw at least one clean 3a by Sergei and a bunch of doubles by Jamal (don’t think he has a 3a) Tomas did a couple of 4t’s
Sergei Voronov - short pgm / 3f3t I missed the next bit while re-connecting my wireless. Nice 3loop / then spread eagle seq into combo spin - I saw Urmanov arrive, but only just now spotted where he is at the boards /
Stephane Lambiel isn’t here and hasn’t turned in his music, so more background - Jamal just landed a nice 3t3t and Tomas a 3a and now all for of them ar at the boards with their coaches / Tomas another 3a but with a hand down this time / Yannick is trying 4t but all I’ve seen so far have been triples / there’s a clean 3a from Thomas and a 4t3t by Yannik bit of a step out on the 3t / Sergei’s trying axels but I think he’s doubled most, if not all of them
Jamal Othman - free pgm / 3z3t / now a bit of break / back in to the chor for the O ftwrk as the music picks up / and Tomas just did a 4t3t with a step out of the 3t and as he did it I missed a jump of Jamal’s / 3l / some interesting chor / Sergei’s bailing on a bunch of axels / 3f2t2t by jamal as he’s back into his program / and Thomas landed a good 4t3t right in front of me / Jamal’s doing that camel spin where he grabs his blade from behind his back - got very slow and looked awkward /
8 minutes left in practise / Yannick just fell on a quad something, looks like Sergei’s left the axels at least for now and doing a few lutzes all -doubles that I’ve seen / I missed something trying to get the wireless connect again because the small group of people across from me were clapping / clean 3z from Sergei if a bit tight and skiddy on the landing / Sergei just landed 3f2t2l - he has quite a loose air pos and a fair bit of wrap at least some of the time - great camel ch camel though /
