And Hanyu is still gonna score ahead of Max Aaron, natch. Well, oops, I wrote that after Hanyu's first mistake, so yeah he's behind and should be. What a sport (not art).

IMHO, neither Brezina, Joubert nor Reynolds have got much of anything over Max Aaron in terms of PCS. Where are they better truthfully -- none of them is really musical or interpretive, and Brezina's program lacked choreo big time. Giving Joubert level 4 on his spins is a crime. I'm not sure whether this sport is eventually gonna just fade away from interest for me. I wish I could let go of my hard core thingy ever since childhood. Lots of years and hard to let go. If the scoring gets any worse, maybe I can drop it, or else just enjoy the skaters and not watch comps in real time.

Brian O said Hanyu has work to do -- an understatement. Not a great feeling for Brian O with both his skaters making mistakes. Hanyu and Fernandez should be in Reynolds and Joubert positions.

I'm almost certain this Men's SP is a dream. These results cannot be real life. Someone other than Reynolds, please win SP. I don't think he really deserved that low of a score... =/ What's going on?

If Yuzuru skates like he can in the LP, I think he's still in for a medal. 75.94 isn't half bad. If he does a 177 LP like at GPF, that'll be competitive.

It's almost hard to fathom but he is still 18. His time will come.

I'd be interested in hearing you fully explain your position, because right now it just seems that dem foreigners aren't as good as Americans, something you depict time and time again.

I like Denis Ten's music so far. :)

ETA: It's nice to see Frank and Lori standing next to each other again. That is Lori, right?

I'm with you starrxskies. That's what tends to happen when people running a sport don't understand what the sport is truly all about. The judges base their scoring totally too much on quads.

Has Denis set things aright?
