He put a hand down on 3A, did a 3z-2t combo, and only a 3loop for single jump. Also possibly lower levels of footwork. And it seems to be already a foregone conclusion that Russia will only have one men's slot for next year. I don't see Voronov breaking into top ten.

IIRC, he did 3a with heavy hand down, 3z/2t, 3loop.

Plaintive music to open with a bit of chor but not much / music sort of explodes for a second and a huge high 3a - beautiful / music dies down again and his chor reflects it int 3f3t / flysit into O ftwrk that's with the music but maybe a little slow / combo spin is centered with quite good pos if a bit slow / spread eagle into 3z / paus & change of music for strt steps crowd is clapping and I can't put my finger on it but the steps aren't quite with the music / generally there was lack of presentation in the program

I'm starting to get really nervous for Johnny going after Lysacek, Buttle, Lambiel and Joubert. Good God! At least he's not going right after home-country favorite sons.
I'm not asking skate gods to let him win - just medal.
Or even just do his best.
I really am going to bed....
BTW, good jobs by Yannick Ponsero and Christopher Mabee!

Music: Piano Concerto No 2 by Rachmaninov dark maroon top with white trim
A fair bit of stroking around with not much chor / 3f turnout 2t / 3a / sit ch sit was lost by the people walking back & forth in front of me / O ftwrk was expressive and flowed nicely with the music / combo spin / strt steps move with the music but seem a little simple

just a double loop for Voronov but still a pb. Anyone have the skating order i cannot get the isu page to come up. Othman next.

Oh, Johnny has even more fans than Takahashi here in Japan, so no worries about that. I went to the open practice session on 19th and he had loud cheers from the audience (I'm one of them
). I really hope he shows us a good performance and I guess the result will come after that.

Music: Danse macabre / dark blue with one white sleeve and down side /
3z3t is nicely done / very flowing movement and good speed / ftwrk into 3f / death drop is big with fast spin with variations - nicely done / diag steps use whole body and express the music - a little too much arm flailying for my liking (but it's always been that way with his skating) / 2a / O ftwrk the same comments as strt / combo spin includes a lovely stretch catchfoot pos / sit ch sit has good speed and positions / He skated that program about as best he could

Thanks for the order.
I had not realized here in Finland it was on another channel and i missed so many skaters.Seems it just started on euro sport but showing highlights of pairs short.

Really? Interesting! When I watched clips from the Japanese TV last time there was a poll in which Takahashi was 3rd favourite male athlete (a baseball player and someone I forgot were 1st & 2nd). And in an online poll for a favourite figure skater Takahashi was first (Oda second, Lambiel third).

It looks like the competition is strong today, Hope Eman and Weir does't blow it!
well, of course TV airs special programs on Takahashi and Oda, and generally Takahashi is more popular, but on the rinkside Johnny gets louder cheers--I don't remember anybody called Takahashi's name, but Johnny's got a lot of cheers on 19th at least. I'd say Johnny has "stronger" fans?

Lots of skating around with no chor to speak of into a beautiful 3a / 3z3t with a tiny wobble on the landing of the toe / ftwrk 3f / butterfly back sit / O ftwrk is very flowing and edgey but not much connection to the music / bac camel starts the combo spin and then right into the sit ch sit - both are well done but this music is doing nothing for me / strt steps again flow with the music /
