Men's Free Skate: 2013 NHK Trophy

[Shayuki]

Ah man.

I love this music and especially that timing for the step sequence. I don't think this was quite at the level I'd like in choreography but either way, I liked it quite a bit.

Now just to hope that Fernandez drops to Bronze, I really ... well, am not his fan.

I wish fernandez to go back to last season's lp and costume.

Fernandez is so off tonight. He looks exhausted too. Sad.

Javier and NHK do not get along. This feels like deja vu from last year with a U.S. man there to seize the medal. Could Jeremy sneak in for bronze?

That said Javier can do this program better. I loved it at Japan Open.

It feels like Javier is really rushing into everything

How could Jeremy not sneak in for bronze? That was a disastrous skate for Javier. I'm not a big fan of his, but I feel sorry for him.

If Jeremy gets Bronze here we could almost call that "a Tuktamysheva".

Disappointing skate. Lots of costly pops. He may be moved off the podium

Score: 66.03+80.64-1.00 = 145.67, 230.45, 4th out of 8

Dislike Fernandez's costume and program.... :/

Without the jumps, his skating looks sorta laboured, and not very exciting imho.

 

[mirai4life]

Fernandez ((((((((((((((((((((((((((( y

 

[gimble]

Not Fernandez' night... He does look very exhausted.

I agree with everything you say, Becki.

 

[Ziggy]

Fernandez bombed big time.

An extremely impressive amount of transitions in that program though. A lot of connecting steps.

Yeahhh, sad. He looked really heavy/labored/tired throughout to me. Will his SP score be enough to get him the bronze or is it going to go to Jeremy?? *suspense*

Wow, I did NOT expect Abbot to be on the podium but there it is.

 

[samson]

Wow. Jeremy might medal... He really IS pulling a Tukt.

Adam might also hang onto 4th...

 

[Mrs. P]

Woah. Jeremy got the bronze!

 

[auser]

Is it me, or does Javier look kind of hampered like he's injured and does not have freedom of movement?

 

[wordsworthgirl]

JEREMY GETS BRONZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm crying again!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ranjake]

Woah. Jeremy got the bronze!

Looks like he's going to!
