Rogozine--number of mistakes. Looks pooped at end of program. Really needs to work on artistry, but he's still kind of young.

3Lz - 'Rippon'
2A
3F

Could use more speed, but a solid skate.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I'm not seeing a good match between Rippon and this program...at least not artistically. He's getting through it, workmanlike, but I'm not feeling it. 3A's still kind of scary.

Rippon
Score: 142.58 (SB), total 210.47 (SB) and into 1st

What's with Adam's jump layout? Why not a 3-3 somewhere?

Voronov--Weird choreography doesn't really work for the music, not a lot of anything going on between jump and spin elements. A few nice moments though.

 

[Mrs. P]

What's with Adam's jump layout? Why not a 3-3 somewhere?

It's cause he doesn't have a quad. If he does a 3-3, then he would have to figure out what to do with one of the jumping passes. He's already doing a 2A for one of them.

 

[Mrs. P]

Is Voronov a flutzer? I noticed he has no 3Z.

Voronov

[FlattFan]

Looking at these American men, suddenly I'm wondering what happened to Mroz? Is he done? Haven't seen him in the GP series.

 

[samson]

But couldn't he take out one of the double toes in his axel combos and turn that into a triple toe somewhere? Lord knows he has the ability and he's not doing a triple tow anywhere else. Maybe he's trying to train to have the 3a/3toe by nationals or something.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Dornbush not getting off to a good start. :disapp:
