I didn't realize he attempted two quads, thought the second one was a triple lol

 

[OS]

Did anyone do a clean quad today?

 

[SaraM]

did anyone do a clean program today...? Do we blame the ice

Menshov was the best today. Pity, he could not nail the quad salch but good that he is trying. His 5 quad ambition is amazing especially at his age. Voronov looked tired - may be he has health issues. I agree that Muse does not suit him especially at this level of performance - one has to be much more dramatic than that.

The Japanese guy did. But no quad from him.

And yes! The Russian silver foxes 1-2! Memories of the podium at 2014 Euros when they were 2-3.

[OS]

Yaaay Russian silver foxes #1 and #2

It was expected... i was hoping Adam and Brezina can upset, but alas no way lol...

If Michal falls less than 4 times in his FS, it will be a victory for him.

 

[gravy]

If Michal falls less than 4 times in his FS, it will be a victory for him.

I love Michal so much, but this is so true.

Oh i don't know.. i think he may get away with 3 this time *fingers crossed*

:thumbsup:

 

[TMC]

Brezina is so much faster and I think his footwork is better, though I like both of them.

Yeah, I'm actually a fan of Adam's and don't really care for Michal so much, but today Michal deserved better PCS.

 

[Interspectator]

Yeah, I'm actually a fan of Adam's and don't really care for Michal so much, but today Michal deserved better PCS.

When you are doing a Freddie Mercury song and he's belting it out at the end, you need to be really putting power in your skates. Channel Patrick Chan's feet! Hopefully we will see magic at the Grand Prix and Nationals. The program has potential.

I agree. It was definitely not bad, just looked like he needs a bit more time for it to click.

I think these two are REALLY close, Brezina has better SS, but Adam is strong in PE, IN in general, Choreography is harder to say, Michael's has good transition and advantage of an upbeat music, where as Adam's more challenging being so different from his classic route, I prefer Adams. With more milege, Adam has a chance.

They arn't that far part today 36.89 vs 37.17 It is early in the season sooo...

 

[lauravvv]

Never mind.

 

[gmyers]

Hope menshov can pull out the victory. So close.
