Oh cool I didn't realize you can rewind on the live feed on Universal Sports live feed, like a DVR, awesome. Cute someone was holding a "Team Morozov" banner with all his pupils including Miki!

Ryan Bradley

A little forward but fine 4T+2T. An extremely high 3A. Good 3F. Cautious, though, on the transitions and not a lot of speed connecting the steps. But what really hurts him is the American theme to a Russian audience. The slight lack in performance might be made up by the quad.

SP: 70.45

4T+2T - forward on landing, only managing +2T, but otherwise ok - and maybe < on 4T

He's not giving as much personality like at Nationals - seems focused on the elements - but a solid program.

Score: 70.45 and into 3rd

The judges still got to see a lot of Bradley's back side. A cautious performance. Marks depends on how 4T is credited.

Well, 3rd place.

Ryan has absolutely horrible programs for a Russian audience. Like, the worst choices possible. He definitely should have been in 1st, though.

Clearly Bradley was really cautious and slow, think he was focus on going clean, which is fine. The score was OK considering how slow he was.

ETA: Read my scores wrong. But Miner does still have the highest PCS!

Well, I'm happy he was clean and only doubled an intended triple in the combo.
He can raise his head high. Can't do anything about the placing.
I hope he can keep it together for the free skate.

Lucine = the Adam Rippon of Monaco!

Does he get points for the hydroplane, if that's what that move was? Very pretty!

Ryan did well. I'm sure he was focusing on technique since he knows the charm won't get him points with international judges but it came off kind of cautious. I'm sure he wasn't expecting to be skating in Russia in his US military uniform, either. Still, good job!

I thought Ryan would get a little higher. PJ Kwong said on CBC that his performance level wasn't as good as usual, and I definitely noticed. I remember him saying in an article that he changed some of his footwork so he faced the judges more, but he still wasn't facing them that much, lol. I think Ryan's going to have to skate better in the free if he wants in the top 10, unless a lot of people bomb in the rest of this group and the next two.

It's sort of funny how all the American men are so close in points.
