Come on Carriere... Romance in Twilight without the pointy fangs.

Glad Ge doesn't have three 3 flips planned

he didnt plan 3 flip for coc either, he planned quad toe but i guess he changed his mind right before free and got confused

 

[karne]

Sparkly.

[balletanddancefan]

[MalAssada]

Oh Carriere :hopelessness:

 

[Doggygirl]

Carriere: On the one hand, these two pieces of music seem a bit odd together. And yet I like the way he skates to both of them. I'm finding his programs much more interesting to watch this year than what I recall from previous years. Like they fit his style or something. I seem to remember him as more "generic" in the past??? (although my memory isn't what it used to be LOL) Anyway...wish the jump landings would have gone his way. But beautiful skating. Enjoyed that.

 

[silverfoxes]

The Twilight music needs to GO...but credit to him for saving those jumps

I like how the lyrics were only in the background and not overpowering the skater.

 

[karne]

Come on Artur!

 

[satine]

Hallelujah makes me want to cry tbh. Always had a weakness for that sappy song.

I am sad for Artur. He did not have the spark at all.

Too bad I was not able to watch the SP last night. Guess watching via streams is jinxing my favourites, for that I will content myself with your wonderful updates guys.
