Brian's score is higher than I have expected.

Great skate from Brian, good for him! He has set the bar with that score.

Majorov O_O

I like Joubert, but that score is definitely based on home field advantage. Kudos he skated well tho'. Brian has been through a lot and he's well-liked within the sport for his dedication and charisma.

Holy crap, Majorov's not doing his best program!

Majorov O_O

ooohh sweden...

 

[periperi]

Those were some hard, painful looking falls Majorov took.

He skated great! There's clearly no such thing as home field advantage, or Carron and Jones wouldn't have got 10 points below their SB in the short dance, and missed qualifying for the free.

Majorov is rushing around and crashed after a gorgeous 3A.

He really needs to learn self control and settle the nerves.

Yey it is nice to see Joubert smiling at the end

 

[Spun Silver]

Skipped Majorov. I don't care for his skating at all.

Maojorov's footwork looks so labored, lol

Joubert getting nice homeground sp inflation hwell:
as predicted he will be on the podium probbaly silver or bronze

Um.....let's wait until we actually get the scores first before complaining about overcoring.

Where was I complaining? It's just the gut feeling with home ice, the crowd, old veterna...

Nice for Brian but my fear is he medals and like his compatriots P and B in ice dance I am not sure they should take this as a sign they are back or on their way up. Both in different way mirror each other - good or were really good skaters but the competition are newer, fresher and simply getting better. I know P and B and BJ may feel their reign was too short but that's life. I hope they go out on top. I think Brian gets overscored on his pcs all the time. And I would like to reward consistency in some ways. It is sometimes osrt of a sad thing when a normally consistent skater ie Shibutanis screw up the one time at some a major championship - I know ice is slippery When you look at the skaters you realize OMG there are so many good , not necessarily great skaters and getting in the top ten will be hard ie for Kevin Reynolds for Canada or one of the Americans. Other than the Japanese men it will be hard for Canada or the US to get 3 - in part because like in pairs there is a chance they might kill each others chances.

Go, Adam!

 

[sequinsgalore]

I'm finally watching! Good to hear Joubert did well. Majorov as a hot mess...

Rippon is on the ice...

 

[spikydurian]

I love Adam's curls!

 

[Bluebonnet]

Wow! Joubert! 83.47!

 

[seniorita]

Raya just qualified, yey~!

I miss Shultheiss a lot!

Please, Carron/Jones are fairly new to ice dance scene and frankly did not skate to a high level, whereas Brian is a past champion and a great veteran of the sport, and he's from France, plus he skated very well. That's when homefield can help with extra points.
