Purple Rain..great choice of music, Stephan. I feel nostalgic though.

 

[TMC]

What an abrupt stop!

Oh I agree. But I'm just documenting my deep dislike for Sam Smith and it now appears I have to hear him SEVERAL times this season based on the planned programs.

I am really curious about version/music cuts used by Tessa and Scott for this 'Latch' FD...Will re-watch Jason's program, but in general I'm more s Sam Smith fan in collaboration (Disclosure<3) than solo...

 

[LRK]

A bit of an abrupt ending there, I thought...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Right, Jessica Pfund and Josh Santillan. THIS is what a "Purple Rain" routine is supposed to look and sound like!

I never expected to be saying this, but Stephane Walker could be a dark horse for a medal if he performs like this again in the FS.

What an abrupt stop!

Yep, that was a cringe-worthy cut.

 

[Mrs. P]

outside his ambitious technical elements his program is a bit empty and a bit less eye-catching at first glance than last season. When he does it cleanly he can be sure of a +100 score though. JMO

Yeah, I'm looking forward to looking at protocals and seeing potential numbers

41 PCS is pretty strong for this point of the season and probably will go up. Jason got 40.10 at Ondrej Nepala last season and Shoma got 34+ at US Classic, though it was a messed up SP, so not great comparison.

I love Latch actually. That's probably the only time Sam Smith works.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Well here's another SP that will have no music on YouTube.

tsk tsk tsk. Why didn't Prince embrace people doing programs or routines to his music and us watching them online???

 

[Sydney Rose]

I'm really loving the rink music they're playing.

 

[TMC]

This song is making me want to watch Hot Tub Time Machine again

 

[Crossover]

Go Grant!

 

[karne]

Grant wearing blue for Rhapsody in Blue.

NEEDS MOAR GIRAFFE

 

[NoNameFace]

Go Grant!

shame, I forgot about Grant in my cheers - go spin judges' world around!!! (his spins are giving me smile every time I'm watching him skate)

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Well, that took a long time!

But, worth the wait. Third for Stephane, well ahead of the guys behind him.

Well done!

Wonder what the judges were looking at, though...

Elements:
4T-2T
1A
CCoSp
FSCoSp
3Lz (forward)
StSq - STOP WITH THE RANDOM FOOT CLOSE-UPS!!
CCoSp


Seeing ladies skaters doing three different spins in the SP always makes me forget you can do two camels or two sits...essentially, that there there is not a spin zayak rule

Score: 30.15:/34.45/64.95

 

[Mrs. P]

I like this program from Grant. And he got the quad in only to pop the 3A. Aw, man.

 

[TMC]

I enjoyed that! Shame about the pop

Ugh we have one of those directors who think we want to see foot close-ups

Patrick Chan's strong influence on the skater's costume.

This layover on the screen is kinda trippy.

Very rough skate.
