Roman GALAY (FIN)

Music: Tango Inverno Porteno by Astor Piazzolla

Black/red sparkly costume

3A - stepout
3Lz - fall, no combo
3F - stepout, hands down
CCoSp3p
StSq
CCSp* - botched entry
FSSp - was it a flying entry? (didn't see)

SP: 47.65, 1/1

 

[ruffledgrouse]

It also looks like he botched an attempt at a flying spin. Will the one he did right after count? I thought you couldn't try again on elements like that

 

[MFarone]

I liked Roman's costume but that was a really rough skate. Maybe nerves?

 

[OS]

Go Adam!!!!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Poor Roman. A skater like Jason or Shouma or Gracie could brush off a competition like this as no big deal if they had a rough skate, but it's so much bigger to the lower ranked skaters...

 

[sequinsgalore]

Adam RIPPON (USA)

Music: Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen

Black sparkly costume, sheer top fabric, silver hair

4Lz - twofoot, fall, looked <<
3A - stepout
FCSp
StSq - bit slow?
3F+2T - ok, bit forward on flip
CSSp
CCoSp3p - nice layback

Dramatic ending pose. Mistakes on all jumps, so obviously not the best season start

SP: 69.29, 1/2

 

[Interspectator]

Oh, Adam, the DRAMA!

 

[OS]

I quite like this program for the choreography, technical aside... is his hair turning greyish? I thought it would look whiter!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Super dramatic! But there's no way that quad was anywhere near rotated.

 

[SaraM]

Adam Love the SP for him, the stepseq was everything! But could he just let the quad lutz go? yes its great, but he never gets it...:hopelessness:

 

[OS]

Hahah lady gaga born this way! ?? Good timing or what!

Dying. I was about to post this.

 

[SaraM]

Oh, Adam, the DRAMA!

ye it was quite dramatic!

 

[MFarone]

I think I saw an interview (maybe TSL) where he and Ashley talk about Adam using hair chalk on his hair. I don't exactly know what hair chalk is but I'm not a big fan of his new look.

I quite like this program for the choreography, technical aside... is his hair turning greyish? I thought it would look whiter!
