Joubert seems to be the favorite to win with Kozuka nearbye. The others are too iffy.

I hope Verner, Voronov, and Mroz will stay on their feet whether they do a quad or not in the short. I guess this is the first competition after Voronov switched coaches?

The last season wasn't as great a season for Contesti as the one before, hopefully this season will.

Wishing Kozuka and Machida to show great skating. Machida's Dark Eyes program was quite enjoyable and I'm looking forward.

I like Jinlin Guan's skating and if he still can't land a 3A, it would be nice if he would try a quad combo in the short as well as in the free. He fell on 4t in the free in the domestic comp in mid September but I also saw a clip of him landing a quad combo in practice so he appears to be ready to include one.

I was thinking the same thing but good luck to all

Last year Voronov did so well here. I wonder if it will repeat.

Ah, I'm honestly just EXCITED to see all the men!!!! I missed them last week. Missed the SPs and then gone all day Saturday, so missed their LPs as well.

BRING IT ON, MEN, BRING IT ON!!!!! *clapping wildly*

 

[seniorita]

Takahiko :yay:

 

[Nadine]

Coverage back on IN, which means it should be starting within the next 10 minutes or so.

RUFF RUFF, I'm so excited I'm dancing with my chihuahua.

I don't want to jinx my favorite skater here so I have not mentioned his name, rather I'm keeping it a secret in my heart. I so hope he does well (crossing my fingers, eyes, and toes for him, lol). ^D

 

[Nadine]

Big horn just blew, which means it should start in any minute now!!!!!

Music blaring is "Life in the Fast Lane", yeah!

 

[Nadine]

Introduction of judges. ^)

 

[Nadine]

Here they all come!!!!

 

[seniorita]

My feed shows body building contest, it is such a contradiction to skating:disagree:

 

[Nadine]

Ross Miner (I think his name is) just did a beautiful 3Lutz jump. Ah, how I miss seeing such outfits up close & personal, there's nothing like seeing those swarvoski crystals shine in perons. I still recall Zheny'a beautiful vest at the Olympics, like a million & one stars across the midnight sky...

 

[lisou]

Seniorita, I think the skating should be back soon, tis stream always has a delay of aout 10 minutes.

 

[Nadine]

Warmup over, here we go!!!!

 

[Nadine]

Lovely feel for the music Chen has, and gorgeous 3L/3T combo! *clapping* However, I think he only did a 2A? Rest of the program very very good.

 

[lisou]

Where are you people watching ? Russian web TV is't back on yet.

 

[lisou]

It's back !

 

[Nadine]

Guan is a Metallica fan, yeah! What GUTS to go for that opening 4T (full rotations but fall afterwards) and the 3L/3T afterwards was very very nice. 64.95 into 1st place!
