2015 Skate America Mens SP Oct 23

[Bumdid]

They should just end the competition with the pairs, tbh considering they were the cleanest out of the four disciplines. Watching people pop their jumps just make me sad.

 

[Violet Bliss]

This skate is what is called a disaster. Poor Alexei.

 

[daphenaxa]

what an unfortunate program by this guy, no sure who that is

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Bychenko's TES...

 

[Franklin99]

At least Florent jumped a lot better than Bychenko. What's wrong with him?

He singled both jumps in his 3-3 combo and fell on his 3A attempt...and a step out. Total meltdown.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Damn Israel, what happened?

Israel only has one spot for Worlds, And Samohin's doing really well,
Maybe this is pressure showing

 

[blue_idealist]

Is there something wrong with his skates? He seemed scratchy the whole way through, like they were dull or something.

Alexei Bychenko, Israel.



Okay. Switch to full-screen, rachet up the nerves, come on Max!

 

[peese]

I'm enjoying my cocktails and it almost looked like Bychenko was too! Good lord! Poor guy.

4th place at Europeans last season

 

[charmblade]

Maybe he had skate problems? seems to be fiddling with them in the K&C

 

[gibbynka]

I loved the song (never heard it before), but the awful fall and the popped combo made the program really sad to watch

 

[blue_idealist]

Yeah, I just noticed that he took one off.

 

[Winnie_20]

He singled both jumps in his 3-3 combo and fell on his quad attempt...and a step out. Total meltdown.

I'm watching. I just don't understand why he seems so off, he's much better than this.

 

[gravy]

The slow music during the falls... how fitting.

Did someone use that song before Adam did for his exhibition last year?

 

[Pippuripihvi]

Bychenko says he touched the concrete with his blade :shocked:

EDIT: he says he got into someone's trail/trace on the ice and there was concrete and he just bumped into it with his blade and there was noting he could do. That's why he was checking his blades

 

[Mista Ekko]

He seems to be explaining to Galit Chait what went wrong in Russian, Anybody?

 

[Serious Business]

You know things ain't good when the coach is facepalming in the K&C.
