What an exciting final group. The 2 young Canadians Reynolds and Chan, the French skater Preaubert who skated his best on the GP circuit last year, the young American Carriere who beat both Canadians for the World junior title as the trio shared the podium, the steady and reliable Lysacek, and the more spectacular but less reliable World silver medalist Takahashi.
Starts with a face as if someone just killed his puppy!
3t (intended quad)-3t
2ax (intended to be triple) but it was HUGE!!!
footwork intro 3z good.
very basic spins, he didn't change edges in neither of his three spins
He was slow in the footwork sections, but look as if with a little more work could work better.
I think he works better with fast tempo music
He does not look particulary happy, so maybe I got the jumps right.
Who does he remind me of??
Dressed in black.
24?? He looks 16!
2ax, two feet
3flip-3toe (fall)
footwork into 3z (double?)
The spins are quite nice though a little slow; except maybe the camel, that's not how a camel is suposed to look like IMO.
Both footwork sections were nicely done but like most of this group, it's very basic.
Ok so the jumps didn't work but it was a very enjoyable program
Oh there's Mishin! He hasn't been in SA since 97-98 season!
I'm talking more about Mishin than Lutai.
Oh Mishin gave him a little cheer.
Can you tell I'm nervous about Andrei?
3ax good
4t-2t yay!!
footwork into 3l
Can you tell he is Mishin student because he did his three jumps at the beggining?
Ok people in the other forums are right, he is a Plush clone.
Circular footwork is mostly all in one blade, a lot of turns.
Straightline footwork, good but a little sllow.
Ok I'm biased, I like this very much, but I'm very bias towards him.
He is happy!
Oj this is just beggining and this is lovely!
3z3t two feet (both jumps)
3ax Very nice!
footwork into 3f fall
Footwork sections are quite simple as well as spins, but this is the first group so it's expected.
camera lost him for a little bit
But this was a very nice program, shame abot the jumps
For him that is a pretty good score overall, but it still looks like the judges did not want to give him the PCS. That is typical when judges dont consider you "established" enough.
