Why does Menshov so often land the difficult stuff and then fall on the triple jump off steps... Or pops it... Gah.

Aw, I'm sad he fell.

The technical score box is cracking me up. Do you guys like it?

Wow, that triple Axel really looked like a quad might have been possible.

I believe it is called Working The System.

You can work the system whilst having choreography which has a purpose, without resorting to blatant time-filling.

Rippon does skate much better than he ever did. I just wish the program had more character and was balanced better.

According to the little box, his TES is lower than from Skate America....predicting 75ish.

ETA: 76+ season's best. But he's capable of higher!

Ugh, none of these performances seem to be coming together for Max quite yet. Also I really wish the music didn't speed up right as he's doing his spin? But I like this program on him, and I hope to see it skated cleanly.

Big mistake on the quad, but on the other hand, he landed the combo. This program lacks spark, though

Despite the mistake on the quad, it looks like he got the levels on everything else. He should get 85+ for that, I think?

ETA: Oh boy, I was wrong. :(

I'll take this one! Better than he's been. what a stylish, elegant, charismatic skater. I think he should be marked high.

The scores seemed a little low, but I think this was a big step forward for him! and he seems happy. love his sweet smiling face.

Aw, I always forget what a wonderful skater Jeremy is. Glad he recovered from the tripled* quad.
