MEN - Short Program

[Spun Silver]

I hate it when Adam falls on the Rippon lutz! At least he pulled himself right back together. He's a much better competitor this season.

For me Misha had the best skate of the night so far, Loved it. Christopher Caluza's program was fabulous.

 

[Gymfan15]

Wow, I totally did not know that Ross Miner skated to Para Ti! Love that piece.

 

[evangeline]

Sounds like an interesting competition so far, especially to see some of the lower-ranked skaters.

I only wish I could actually watch it

I'm following 4 sites. Pathetic, I know.

So I already know Ross did great.

 

[Spun Silver]

That's gotta be an SB if not PB for Miner. He was in the zone! I missed a few seconds but what I saw was dead-on and perfectly timed with the music.

 

[Nadine]

Nice job by Ross, this is going to be close between him & Adam, though I prefer Adam b/c imho he has that intangible, something you cannot teach, more natural performer imho. Still, good job by both USA guys!

 

[jaylee]

Ross Miner was terrific! Jumps clean as a whistle. 3A, 3Lz/3T, 3F. Just a great, great performance. Woo hoo!

 

[Nadine]

Nan Song, if he hits (& I hope he does) should blow both Americans away. Seriously, he's a star, BRING IT ON, NAN SONG, BRING IT ON!!!!

 

[Nadine]

Yep, the lutz cost Adam, poor guy. You gotta skate *clean* Adam, you have to skate clean to get the scores...

 

[Bluebonnet]

Wow, Miner did great!

 

[Violet Bliss]

Nan fell on 4T. Did he fully rotate it?

 

[Spun Silver]

:disapp:

(That's a general comment, not an answer to your Q, SF.)

Actually on replay looks like he got 'em. ETA: Guess not...

[Nadine]

Ah, not Nan Song's day. Trouble on his first two money jumps, and his spins travelled at the end, but here's hoping he fights back in the FS! :yay:

 

[Violet Bliss]

This is like Fernandez at Euro. They both need experience near the top.

Go Patrick go!

 

[SGrand]

Go Patrick!!!

Just saw on Examiner that he touched down (hand and foot) on Q.

 

[jaylee]

Patrick: both hands down on the quad. 3A okay but not great flow on the landing. 3Lz/3T okay.

 

[Violet Bliss]

He fell on 4T. I sort of felt he would have some mess today.

No real fall?

He supposedly had great jumps after that.
