Men - Short Program

[janetfan]

Yeah, I sort of felt the same way, his emoting didn't really feel organic....but I guess it's difficult to be compared to the divine Anissina!

Are you sure it matters in this scoring system? Evan's emoting was good enough to win the OGM. I really don;t see Rippon's artistry as a thing to knock - not after just watching kevin......

KVDP's score is 62.22

Dai is on the ice. Man, he's hot!

 

[Nadine]

I would have Kevin in 3rd place. His age works against him unfortunately.

Daisuke Takahashi out on the ice (wow, where did all those Japanese flags in teh audience come from?)!

 

[lisou]

Where are you watching ? The Russian feed died before Rippon.

Dai's skating makes me melt!!! *fangirl squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

 

[evangeline]

Despite the bobbles, there really is such a discernible difference between Daisuke and the rest of the field in terms of presence, charisma and attack.....should go into first?

 

[Nadine]

Biggest applause fromt the audience for Daisuke Takahashi!

Some problems on the jumps, but his PCS should hold him up overall. He's like Ricky Ricardo on skates. Just a natural performer.

 

[lavender]

Not his best by far but I don't care...I love Takahashi. Such a performer and his edges make me melt.

 

[siberia82]

3F+3T, 3A, 3F step-out

Dai's skating makes me melt!!! *fangirl squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

His low-cut shirt is definitely very distracting...

 

[siberia82]

In the slo-mo, you see him stick his tongue out a little during the end pose.

 

[Nadine]

To tell the truth I liked him more last year. I don't much care for this year's programs from him. Just a personal preference.

 

[siberia82]

His low-cut shirt is definitely very distracting...

It adds to the effect.

Dai's score is 78.12

 

[lavender]

They certainly are scoring differently here...SB for Dai (okay if they say so).

His shirt goes with the performance and music. That's what they use to wear right.

 

[evangeline]

78.12 for Daisuke. SB. First place.

Surprise, surprise....

 

[siberia82]

Oda is on the ice.

 

[lavender]

Little Oda still isn't on Dai's level imo but he certainly has the jumps.

 

[evangeline]

giant 3A from Oda!

V. smooth 3F-3T....

His low-cut shirt is definitely very distracting...

I am glad he doesn't have a hairy chest.
