2014 Nebelhorn Trophy

[Mrs. P]

Managed to fit a quick break to watch Jason's program! A nice start! And happy to see he kept the suspenderography to a minimum.

Back to work!

 

[TMC]

Ahh I'm so happy that there was much less suspenderography than I expected. Solid skate crowned with amazing scores!

 

[Meoima]

Jason has a good SP. I am not a fan of "fun program" but he did great. :yes:

Liam Firus: not his best skate... neither technically, nor artistically

Great minds...

Great minds...

:yes:

That outfit is really, really nice as well.

suspenderography... I need to add this word to my vocabulary haha

Jason BROWN (USA)

Blue shirt, big suspenders, black pants

Decent skate, but not quite (yet) my taste of choreo, but he sells it.

SP: 43.50/40.09 = 83.59, 1st (out 4)

I wondered too?

Elladj's performance was awesome. Jason's also great though with higher tech(and therefore 5.5 higher PCS).

I stole it from Karne

 

[Mrs. P]

:yes:

YES. I love the outfit. Blue is also my favorite color. I have a purse that is the same color as Jason's shirt, LOL.

My heart rate is back to normal now. #fangirlproblems

Menshov was scored too low.

Jason was good but, where is the quad?

Best entertainer was the canadian guy, can't spell his name to save my life.

Liam, too bad about the bad skate. He is one of my favorite.

 

[Mrs. P]

Jason was good but, where is the quad?

Still a work in progress.

But considering he's in the lead by five points and beating three guys who did quads today, he's OK for now.

 

[TMC]

Elladj's performance was awesome. Jason's also great though with higher tech(and therefore 5.5 higher PCS).

There's no reason for Elladj to have the exact same choreo score as Michal. No way. I thought his program was pretty much the same as Jason's in, pe and ch-wise.

I agree, Balde had way better choreo, presentation and in than Brezina. I would still place him 1 point behind jason, since he had better ss and overall flow

. . . I just have to say. . . coach grampa is just adorable

I think this is as good as he is going to skate this, no progress unless he throws in the quad.

 

[Mrs. P]

I think this is as good as he is going to skate this, no progress unless he throws in the quad.

Not true. His PB is 86. His PCS is likely to go up as the season progresses as well. Also he will likely add the quad later in the season. Recent interviews tell me he's hitting it but not enough to where they want to put it in.
