2014-2015 GPF Mens Short Program 12/12

[Sandpiper]

Kovtun: No major errors, but turn-out on axel and combination. If this beats Voronov I'm going to riot.

Kovtun's jump position is atrocious. How he does it....

Hanyu's short made me take notice. I just love it. He would have had close to 100 if he didn't fall on the lutz. Love Hanyu but he really does need to become consistent.

:thumbsup: and his posture has really improved!! Beautiful quality to his skating!!!

 

[luvsasha]

Kovtun is the only one with two quads in the short. But with all that bobbles I don't think he can beat Hanyu. We shall see!

I know, and he landed them. There's just something about his skating that I don't like. But he is very technically strong, I'll say that for him.

13.35 for the combo? I guess Mr K got extra points for the hops...

Ah, I understand, that's the reason

 

[samson]

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

She was probably like "I'm raising a child. I'll see you back in Canada"... and I wouldn't blame her.

 

[Lota]

I actually quite like Max : Probably even more so, since all of you seem to really, well, not like him

 

[firal]

Still can't get over Kovtun and Bolero...

 

[Florencito]

Tonight both my faves came in 5th. Actually the only skaters I really care for in their events...

 

[satine]

I'm scared to look at the scores.. :hopelessness:...

Yuzuru HANYU ..........94.08 (TES 51.11, PCS 43.97)
Tatsuki MACHIDA ......87.82 (TES 45.32, PCS 42.50)
Maxim KOVTUN .......87.02 (TES 46.94, PCS 40.08)
Sergei VORONOV ......84.48 (TES 45.90, PCS 38.58)
Javier FERNANDEZ ....79.18 (TES 40.22, PCS 40.96)
Takahito MURA .........78.35 (TES 40.98, PCS 38.37)

Maxim KOVTUN 3rd place 87.02 SB

Kovtun: No major errors, but turn-out on axel and combination. If this beats Voronov I'm going to riot.

I'm praying that Voronov and Menshov are 1st and 2nd at Nationals. And Adian rounds out the podium.

You can riot now, Sandpiper.

sorry for the offtop, but strange thing came to my mind watching this that Jeremy Abbott could do something interesting with Bolero...<IKnowImAWeirdo...>

 

[MIM]

Owwww my stream died rigt after javi!!

 

[beki]

Honestly, Kovtun has improved, but if he's going to keep landing the jumps I hope Tarasova can do more with him, so he isn't so awkward to watch. I think his SP is better than the LP.

 

[jkun]

YAYYY no magic PCS for Kovtun. Kovtun looking confused. "WHERE DID MY SKATING SKILLS GO??"

 

[HanDomi]

Yuzuru is almost back at his game, I hope for great FS tomorrow, and Javi rocketing to front, and Tatsuki fighting with Yuzuru too

 

[charmblade]

I just had a hilarious vision of Kovtun skating Liza's SP choreo instead of his....hip waggles and blown kisses and all.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Well the judges certainly brought the comedy...

 

[Krunchii]

Kovtun's posture going into that 4S was really ugly, I can't stand Bolero and at the Men's FS I will probably be complaining about the POTOs too
