Abbott destroys competition, heads to Vancouver

i love evan's costumes, ever since his carmen remake with the black dior homme shirt with red ties on his hands.
he has good taste although his firebird outfit WAS too literal and intense.
very avant-garde and he has the frame to support it.
he is the only skater i respect with costume choice.
in the other hand, johnny weir, the so-called fashion diva....CLEARLY isn't. maybe he knows all the designer labels and waves his balenciaga man bag around as his practice duffel, but he does not have a clue how bad he looks with the overdoes of sequins and fur?! for his LP costume.....pink details and TASSLES with a leather bust....gah. horrible.
jeremy, looked awkward with his minimally bedazzled silk blue dress shirt buttoned up ALL THE WAY UP. i think it a little too loose. i can see this program with a more muted colored shirt, the blue is too saturated and rich. but as i read somewhere, a tux would be nice.....or something less 90s giant dress shirt syndrome.

LOVE Ryan. So sad for him, what a great talent. Does anyone know if he gets to go to 4CC or worlds?

I loved Evan's Star Trek costume but I'm biased-I love that franchise. I thought it looked stunning on his frame. Jeremy's was just too low-key for my taste or just not the right style for his AWESOME program. He rocked it. Johnny-I didn't like his 'pretty' costume as he called it. Anyhow, my two faves are headed to Vancouver. Here's crossing fingers all three 'bring it' at the Games!

Cutest. lines. in. the. whole. article!
such a fallacious response to the interviewer.
his arrogance shines- just because he barely made it in the team.
ryan deserved that spot.

I thought Jeremy was terrific. If he skates like that in Vancouver, I see a medal around his neck. I was disappointed for Ryan Bradley, too. I thought he deserved the 3rd spot.
As for the costumes, even my dh said, "it looks like he cut the skirt off a ladies competition dress and put black pants on over top" about Johnny. Way too much. Personally, I liked Jeremy's outfit the best: simple and understated. I hate being distracted by a skater's costume.

What was with the things on Evans shoulders? I am afraid his hands will get caught in them. Ryans's costume was great! Loved his program too!

Abbotts skating seems a bit slow and labored to me. His jumps were great and it was a clean program but still no spark throughout. He in my opinion needs more colour in the way he executes the choreography.

I totally agree. Yeah, it's nice he didn't splat on any of his jumps, but let's not pretend this is a skate of a lifetime... a skate of a Lifetime movie, maybe. Jeremy was tentative and careful and it showed. He never fully got into the music. It was, no doubt, the best skate of the night, but then, that's not saying much.

To me it looks EFFORTLESS, not slow and labored. His limber quality makes him the most pleasing to watch, IMO. The judges agreed, with components soaring into the 8s.

It's the nationals before the Olympics, the last man skating after an evening of splats, and with a level of concentration bordering on constipation, he manages to stay upright. Those judges were ready and primed to throw high marks at anything that doesn't make them want to vomit at what US men's figure skating has become. Let's not pretend those marks are remotely objective.
I thought that Abbott´s freeskate looked magical and got the impression that so did the live audience. I just wonder whether he will be able to repeat that same magic at his first Olympics, Kwan was not able to do it in Nagano Olympics.

Really? And you are so sure of this..how? Were you on the panel? We'll see Jeremy's marks when he arrives in Vancouver. To me, his performance was completely deserving of these marks. Honestly, why are you so sour? Between your comments here on Abbott and your comments about Dube/Davison on the Canadian thread, you come off as a real downer.
