2014 Skate America Men's SP 10/24

Umm..Denis Ten's music is awful.

I think it' might be better without lyrics.
I like original music but his team cut it awfully.

 

[Meoima]

Tatsuki will lead! my hunch

I could watch Jeremy just skate around to any random music all day. I think the entire arena holds its collective breath during the jumps. Hung on with one turn out. Beautiful program.

This is the Guy who's supposed to retire and just get out? If loving this is wrong, I guess I don't want to be right- I'm melting. Jason was great, as well.

come on king Tatsuki

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Tatsuki can really win the competition easily here with a clean skate.

I have left the stream to prevent jinxing anyone else.

Is Machida going for a mullet? :think:

Tatsuki's hair is his American tribute to Vicki De Vries.

 

[Scovies]

Brown's SP is not the right direction for him. And they need to start training the 3Axel at high speed or else it will never be good enough.

I don't think the program itself is, but I don't think his presentation is the right way to go. It's very smiley and happy, and I wish he took a more Rat Pack, too-cool-for-school approach to it.

What, it wasn't about a young Mormon finding gay love on his mission trip?

This made me laugh. But I felt bad about it.

I know, right?

Is Machida going for a mullet? :think:

The Japanese Plushenko?

****

I know Machida's a technical whiz and all that, but after being spoiled by Daisuke, his skating leaves me cold. And disconnected. And bored.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Machida OWNED that.

 

[ranjake]

tatsuki will lead! my hunch

amazing!!!

 

[Mrs. P]

Very nice program by Tatsuki! Loved it.

This is what it looks like when you OWN the quad.

 

[mirai4life]

im so obsessed

 

[charmblade]

Machida!!!

 

[caitie]

Wow, Machida was great. Love that short program.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Umm...

 

[Dr. Jenn]

The announcer (Michael Weiss?) on CBC is killing me. Machida was apparently "practising like a stud".

 

[Maria Victoria]

Sublime Tatsuki!
