So you expect Evan to do 23 rotations in the later half vs 10.5 in the first half of his program? Or 9 jumps vs 3 in the top half?
Well, he did twenty-and-a-half rotations in the second half at the Olympics.
Back on topic: Lysacek was seen doing a beautiful 3Lz+1Lo+3F the other day.
...I thought he wore Dior or something like that? If you're going to get catty, at least bring in the correct name! (Wang is soooooo overrated)
Show me the jumps (lol).
The quad is the future of our sport. Our judging system has become so technically driven that we have to now focus on the technique and push the envelope.
We've lost our six-point scale of judging. The "6.0" was such a huge brand for our sport and we lost that brand when we lost that system. One brand we have now is the quad; it's the only thing that’s recognizable to anyone, whether they know skating or not.
Lysacek did not do a solo 3T in his Olympic LP. His solo jumps were: 3A, 3S, 3Lo, 3Lz and 2A.
(just like Yi-na Kim, only Kim got higher GOEs) and 3A+2T (just like Mao Asada).
In fact, Lysacek did 3A+2T and a solo 3A and 3F+2T+Lo -- just like Asada, except Asada's was a 3F+2Lo+2Lo.
But Buttercup, I have to put one other dress on the costume list: Rachael Flatt's magnificent Firebird costume for this year's long program. It was beautiful, even poetically so in the way it reflected the music.
