Oh no, it seems skating at home undid his nerves...

SP: 40.22+40.96 -2.00 = 79.18, 4th (out of 5)

 

[firal]

It's the first time he had to deal with at home pressure...did you see even the ice-girls were jumping up and down with excitement?? Sigh...big lesson today...

 

[chezzu]

i am kind of sad right now for javi. omg.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Aw... poor Javi.

 

[kimganos]

Er, Machida has some of the best lines out of all the men. Long and lean does not help in that department (case in point: Hanyu).

 

[jkun]

Welcome to last place... WOW.

I doubt it. With the PCS he usually gets probably sitting around ~83

EDIT: whoops nevermind. forgot about the falls. Time for Maxim to win for no reason..

 

[Alchamei]

Can he even medal?!

 

[sunnystars]

Oh Javiiiii

 

[samson]

I can't listen to this music without seeing Mao's 08 SP.

Do you guys think Machida has a PCS disadvantage because of his body type? He's short without the long limbs (like Berezh), so visually his lines isn't as "good looking" as someone tall/lean.

oh lol I thought you were talking about Black Betty and I was like...

 

[silverfoxes]

Don't see Miki. Where is this supporting gf?

Miki has a show in Germany this weekend.

Oh, Javi...

 

[mikiandorocks]

Mark my words. Kovtun will still win this

 

[Scovies]

Poor Javi. That's my favorite SP of anybody this season, too. I hope he kills it at Worlds.

 

[WeakAnkles]

That was a Telecom performance...totally phoned in. Not one smile the entire performance. And he's one of the most engaging performers in the sport. Major ouch.

 

[chezzu]

that tes.......

 

[s_parks]

this reminds me of how Yuna was in 2008 GPF :hopelessness:

Hopefully he'll still get a silver like she did...

 

[luvsasha]

Oh Javi
It's like he was trying too hard or something. Maybe he rushed the takeoff of the quad sal? In my head, I was willing him not to rush it...

 

[sunnystars]

Mark my words. Kovtun will still win this

why do I feel like agreeing with you....

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

I doubt it. With the PCS he usually gets probably sitting around ~83

I wonder how many points above Voronov he'll be.

 

[Lota]

I didn't want Mura to be last, so I guess I got my wish. But I didn't want it like that...

 

[evangeline]

Mark my words. Kovtun will still win this
