Please men's event - don't be a shambles! It's my favourite discipline, and really, the last two weeks there has been little joy to be had... I just wish that everyone goes out there and do their best... Especially, of course...

Go, Brian!!!!!!!!!

On the one hand, he started his on ice-training on Monday, which is... worrisome... On the other hand, with no GPF on the line, maybe he can just relax and just "do his thing", which is really what I wish for.... (All right, I want him to win, but I'm sure you all know what I mean.... :) )

This empty arena is just one horrible look.

Chinese fans were angry that a guy with either safe skating policy or simply the one who doesn't have a quad ended up above Nan.

Some tension and nerves in the first group. Nice for Jorik that he landed everything. Good to see Nan back out there, but he did seem a bit tentative, understandably. It's probably good that he got out there to compete. Hope Nan does better in the fp, as I think he has the talent to be leading after the first group.

Nan's countryman, Jinlin has nice lines and a good program -- just needs more maturing and experience.

For someone one who did successfully major elements judges should have given a better PCS.

It wasn't perfect but it was good, very good! He always manages to get back on track. I loved his steps

Very entertaining for Brian. I'm sure he'll score well, despite the fall-out on the 3-axel. He doesn't have great lines and stretch and not much re transitions, but he's beloved, and there was great drama and charisma -- his trademark. :)

Mura is fairly good techniquely, but no artistry to speak of.

Wow, I thought Brian might get closer to 80 for that performance (at least 78 or 79), but I guess the judges are not giving him extra points for his charisma. I think Brian is a better overall skater than Mura, and Mura had some slight technique problems (not clean on his quad), but I guess the judges are taking off for Brian's turn out on his 3-axel landing.

Only 1 point more than Mura on PCS. No home scoring advantage in France

EDIT: I simply can't watch Tomas anymore. It's heartbreaking :disapp::disapp::disapp:

Well, with 2T in combo and sloppy landing in 3A, that TES... the GOE must have been generous... Okay
