I was heartbroken for Daisuke.
Men Skate America 2013 Short Program
- Thread starter sky_fly20
- Start date
Anyone else have horrific sound issues on IN? I didn't get ANY sound at all on either Max or Adam, then when it did come on it was nothing but muffled echos. So I'd have to say it's as if the Men's SP didn't even happen. Huge disappointment.
About the TES box. Mixed feelings. On one hand it was interesting to see the points rack up, on the other it's also a distraction.

Yes, it sucked. No sound for first two men, then not bad, then video freeze problems in short dance.

I lurve Daisuke and am really bummed about this performance. Hopefully he will improve in the FS.
Props to Jason Brown for having the Prince symbol on the back of his shirt. I'm a newish member of his fan club, and am looking forward to this season.
Very happy to see Adam have a fairly good SP! Can't wait to see his FS.

amazing Jason, congrats, America. 
he's like a mercury on ice, his motions are so flexible and ceaseless in the same time, it was a great pleasure to watch. / oh, also he and his trainer in C&K is the cutest thing ever.) /
and Adam is improving his skills, very emotional and stronger, steadier than before. Good job for him and team Raf, Ashley was very good in JO, can't wait to see her again.
what about my sweet japanese team: Machida is very good and comparing with last year he's jumped on the next level (higher in components, in matureness and also quad!). but still, he was good on the start and the main question, has he enough strengh for the whole season? that's why i think it's not the time to start crying about Daisuke. just remember GPF.
Kozuka's situation is the saddest thing, i still think his performance is one of the best and wish him all luck in the world in FS.

Oh my, my predictions are not even close, LOL. On FSUniverse I participated in the game and predicted a Japanese sweep... Maybe Kozuka and Takahashi will skate better in the freeskate. Feeling really sad for Gachinski, what is wrong with his confidence? Machida was wonderful!!!
I have to say I really see the improvement in Adam Rippon under Rafael Arutunian's tutelage. His skating skills have improved tremendously from what they were and he is much more of a showman and a fighter out there on the ice. He has become more extroverted and more watchable, IMO. A very impressive showing in the SP! YAY ADAM!!!
I agree. The presentation was much more confident and he didn't stalk the 3A like he's done in the past. Also, I'm not sure if it is just his costuming but does he looks more solid and muscular?

Jason is Jason. Nutcracker, Nessun Dorma, Flow Like Water, Liebestraume... He is just 18, but he has skated so many excellent programms. Really, I don't think about his points, I'm enjoing his skating.
For you reference: Ivan changed both family name and federation, so Ivan Rigini (not sure of correct spelling) will compete for Italy.

My favorite was Adam! He was amazing! I like Machida, too, but his music isn't too exciting, thus the program is also a little bit bored me. And Jason!! I love him, but sometimes his movements are too feminine, when he skates. But it's a personal taste. I adore his LP, so go Jason! Poor Dai, Taka and Gachi.
I hope they will skate better in LP.
( Machida's costume is terrible, it seems so cheap. )

He is: as he said during the TSL interview, he has worked a lot on this! And I agree, his presentation is really mature and elegant now, I think that the PCS could have been even a bit higher...
I wish he would get a new hairstyle.

Oh boy!
Thanks for the info, I had no idea... I knew he had both Russian and Italian nationalities, but not that he was considering switching. Any info on whether he's already eligible to get the italian spot that Parkinson won at Nebelhorn Trophy? Or is he still in the 1-year-without-competing period?
