... These are bizarre results. (Dai!I hope he doesn't lose his confidence for Worlds!)
Really, I don't know what to say, except- wow, the medallists are all so young! I hope that Kevin keeps working on his PCS so that he someday deserves the PCS that he got tonight.
I just- well. Worlds is going to be interesting.
You mean he didn't deserve them? Others did not land their jumps, or did not landed them cleanly.
Very true. But he lands them, others don't.
Who's looking at the ice? They are to show off the assets.
The assets can't be shown off if the pants are blending into the ice, at least on television/ computer screen. Unless there's a close-up camera angle.
I mean like he's wearing a sports belt right? I mean wow.
If you look at Fadeev's jumps, they are part of the choreography. A major part. Not so with Lambiel's. Plus, Lambiel's CoP spins were markedly worse than his pre-CoP spins. I would almost say that Lambiel is the poster boy for how the CoP affected skating, and not for the better.
Bring back the 80s! Well, there's the camera angle I spoke about, plus Fadeev was sporting some red accents and a deep shade of white, even tho' the pants appeared to be somewhat transparent around the crotch area making the white jock strap quite visible. Still it was the close-up camera shot that allowed our attention to stray, or to focus.
Yes...but...it would have been even better if he hadn't spent the first minute doing nothing except stalking his first two big jumping passes, banking the points, before beginning the actual program.
[Edited to add]: Let me expand on that a little .
