I agree with all you said. For his first competition back, I think Johnny did really well. I'm proud of him. He said he was serious about this comeback, and it showed in the performance. Yeah he didn't win, but he didn't have any major mistakes, he performed quite well, and he went for the quad. I'm feeling positive. I agree with you, I think he's on track so far. Fingers crossed for the long program today.

fingers AND toes crossed! :P

also, i firmly believe this is the "new" Johnny...apparently he changed boots about 6 weeks ago according to IN, and he kind of lost the quad. he was previously training in his old boots...the ones from Vancouver. the "old" Johnny would have bailed on a quad in competition especially since he had to really retrain and work hard. to get it back and it's not all the way back yet. He's definitely all in. He knows he needs the jump, and the only way to make an "old dog" learn new tricks is to fully commit.
btw, how's the crowd at this competition? I'd imagine it's a different environment fro Johnny, even with the love and support form his fans, a small competition is different from all those high profile competitions and performances he's done for years.

Congrats to medalists: Hanyu, Dornbush, Fernandez. And to Weir, who showed a creditable return to competition.

As always, good to see Schultheiss back because he usually comes up with something interesting! :)
 
I enjoyed Fernandez' program and his performance. He just popped too many jumps, particularly the 3S, or was one of them supposed to be 2S because he could not repeat 3S after all the combos?
 
A few double jumps for weir and a single but also level 1 step and spin so that took off points. But a good balanced program with jumps and 2 triple axels and lutz and flip and the quad went from << in the SP to just < in the LP. It was a technically fine performance that really should only improve.
 
Upon reading the protocol I just realized Javi's first popped Salchow was meant to be a 4S. He will bring it next time. Now, I need the others' videos.

Johnny's tech content and BV are just too weak.

Fernandez having same pcs as Hanyu is funny. Hanyu Lp is great, and the music awesome!Only the costume looks juniorish.
Watching protocols from here and JO it looks like many try two quads in FS which is something I didnt notice last season, or is it new trend?

Only Korpi can dress like a lime lemon and look stunning!:laugh:
I like Julia's sp,the costume looks irrelevant though
