Men's Free - Notes & Results

What a show to put on for his countryman, that Lindemann.

 

[gellio]

Did he do well.....? I hope so - I like him! Pictures are popping up so fast on Yahoo too.

 

[gellio]

Yeah...he's the bronze medalist...good for him.

 

[Ptichka]

exactly. plushy has plenty of pressure skating with a bad knee from mishin and himself of course. Do it for yourself baby

ITA. Besides, Piseev is not suisidal, and the last time I checked Russia did not have two skaters with better chances than Plushy's.

 

[gellio]

PLUSY FELL!!!

 

[rpiche]

ouch....

 

[gellio]

I'm talking to my friend in Berlin who said he fell doing footwork - must have hit a rut.

 

[rpiche]

I thought it was the triple loop

 

[sarahmistral]

shocking, i know...

but I don't care, b/c Lambiel is going to finish off the podium anyway --oh well, he lost it in the short, and made a VALIANT effort in the long...
this is going to be a fun next few minutes....

Sarah


Rosaleen, Joe, was Joubert better than Lambiel????????????? Besides the combo, I mean

 

[gellio]

PLUSY WINS!

My friend in Berlin said Lambiel was much better than Lindemann.

Phushy wins with a few 6.0's even with a fall....

I'm just reporting what my friend said. He said the German commentatories thought Lindemann may finish below Weir. I am happy for Lindemann though....I like him. I like Lambiel too.

 

[Flora MacDonald]

Plush had a magnificant performance-until he fell it was the best World's men's skate ever. I'm still not convinced it wasn't.
He foiught so hard, I was going to cry if he didn't win.
And I'm not a fan.

"makes a laughingstock of the sport I love"
-one of Eurosport commentators


I'm not one to cry foul on every little judging, but geez...that was sketchy, to say the least...

[Flora MacDonald]

[Dee4707]
