I hope somebody in this group has upbeat music. I’m counting down to clubbing hour when it’s fabulous Adam’s turn.

It was highly unprofessional for Tara and Johnny

What's new, frankly

 

[Heleng]

Not what Kevin was hoping for, and tough luck on the injury, but still, an amazing accomplishment for him to get to Nationals as a full-time student at MIT, one of the toughest schools academically in the world. Judging from my son's friends who go there, he must be brilliant.

Good skaters in this next flight!!! Come on boys....Light up the crowd!!

 

[skylark]

Who are the commentators, please? Michael Weiss is one; I missed the other intro.

 

[badknees]

are they going to fix the scoring error?

 

[cheerknithanson]

I can't wait to see how Alexei does! And to see if he has another hilarious K&C moment.

 

[labgoat]

i wonder myself if he is there. dick button, yes he is. i think he kept people watching by his commentary, and describing the jumps etc.

i think he was the last man to win 2 ogm . celebrating his anniversary,

congratulations dick button

I remember Dick Button talking about how as a skater you want to leave the sport different and better because you were in it and taking that as my motto for life. I learned so much about skating, performing and life from listening to him over the years. Such an intelligent man, no wonder he is a legend. A person I'd most like to sit with for a coffee and discuss skating.

It was highly unprofessional for Tara and Johnny to talk about that judging error on air. They should’ve discreetly notified someone rather than bash the judging painful to millions of people.

I think most of the stufff T/J say is really unprofessional. And congrats Shum on doing that along with a full-time coursework and research at MIT computer science and engineering! He's a super sweet, humble guy, too.

So true. So true. I keep forgetting who I’m talking about.

I disagree. I think it's ridiculous that such an egregious error could have made it past the entire technical panel, the data operator, the replay operator, the referee, and all of the judges before his score was announced. It shouldn't be happening at the nation's most prominent competition, especially in a year when there's so much on the line, and in a sport that is already known for sometimes questionable officiating.

Oh please...unprofessional to call the judges out for an egregious error like that? Are you kidding me?

I don't even listen to them but that's some major grasping at straws.

 

[SnowWhite]

Hoping Alexei does well here

 

[labgoat]

Just what we need, Sean Rabbitt...please give us something to smile about.

 

[tosca]

OMG. Max was just interviewed and literally said that his shot at the olympics was over. devastated.

 

[evasorange]

Heartbreaking interview with max on tv just now...he said he knew after the second mistake that his Olympic chances were over and the tears started rolling down his face...omg my heart. I don't want to believe it's over for him....

Seriously, they get paid to tell the audience what's going on. How is telling that there was a scoring mistake 'unprofessional'?

 

[mrrice]

Tim looks good in the warm up......They all look good. Good luck Alex, Alexei, Sean and me Junior....Emmanuel.

 

[college pat]

yes on air, not to point out the error, but to make sure the judges was done with their scoring.

It was under review so the judges wasn't done with scoring tallying, they should have stated should have been a double lets wait for the review to be sure or something to that effect.

How is it unprofessional? Furthermore, how is the judging "painful to millions of people?"
