Is anyone watching trouhg Daum? I don't understand why it stopped work for me! when I click on the picture of GP there is some table like registration or something

 

[momjudi]

and apparently espn360 is not showing the men live either

 

[Ximena]

warm up is over (at least on the DAUM I'm watching)

 

[demarinis5]

and apparently espn360 is not showing the men live either

I know, bummer.

 

[yelyoh]

Yeah on ESPN 360 it says Grand Prix at !:50. Nothing is live right now so it's not as though.... oh well. I hope Ice Calc doesn't crach or freeze.

 

[Medusa]

My Daum stopped working, too...

Can someone with livefeed please try to report?!? Pretty please?1?

Patrick Chan
Excerpts from Four Seasons by A. Vivaldi

3a lean
3f-3t
A lot of in between to starts, pretty spread eafle
3z-2t(think it was double)-2t
3l
spin combo, it was nice but a little slow
3s a little lean on the landing
2a, step down and hand down
3f
SLftwk very good
sit spin-sitp spin was good but when it was over it was like he almost was going to fall
sit spin, that was good

Think I missed something, he was better on the GP series, but it was good

Kevin Van der Perren
Lawrence of Arabia (soundtrack) by Maurice Jarre

4t fall
2ax (seemed it was supposed to be triple)
3f
the arena is not full, I thought it was going to be fuller
sit spin, ok this is good though small, but very low and change of positions.
SLftwk, wow Kevin is so slow!! Maybe Pirates and Robin hood type worked better, ftwk vert sumple
Combo spin with upright spin, very slow but made a showing of changing edges
3f-3t hand down (3f was goergeous though)
3s-3t (lean, almost hand down)
3z two footed, underrotated
2l
Cftwk it's slow but trying to do a lot of elements, he looks tired!
2ax at the end
Combo spin to finish...which is probably the most memorable thing of the program
He looks exhausted! It's Torino in a high altitude?

 

[cocovica]

[Hsuhs]

Omg.

 

[Ximena]

Ok maybe the first was triple axel, I really can't tell

 

[Turtleberry]

I just looked it up and Torino is only 240m (788ft) feet above sea level so it must not be the altitude that making the skaters winded.

 

[cocovica]

omg, por johnny fell again...what's with him.. he was so amazing on his GP:

 

[Dodhiyel]

I'm proud of him, fighting for it with injury to the landing foot. I hope he rests as long as possible after this event.

Johnny, there is no one like you. Please, please take care of yourself!

I hope his foot is ok. Other than the fall, did his program seem strong?
