Men's Free Skate - Thurs, 18th 8pm EST

[aurora100]

Is everyone on this board really drinking this much vodka or it's some code phrase I do not know?

 

[Chemistry66]

Oh Brian, Brian, Brian.

I really wish I had some form of alcohol right about now. Sucks being an underage college student with no car or person who provides easy access to alcohol. Guess I'll have to settle for either chocolate, other sugary food (aka marshmallows), or something like the warm comforting cheesy goodness of Velveeta and shells (aka mac and cheese). Recommendations?

That was the most boring program I have ever watched. He got 7.8 for Transitions at Euros. There were nonoe! He skated around and tried the quad, did another lap of the ice for quad 2, then another lap for the 3 ax. AWFUL

He only got 6.75 here. I guess judges are taking comments to heart. YAY! Don't get how his interpretation is 7.55 where Adrian got just 6.6, but that's just me.

Sochi flight next!!

this is bad night I m having stomachache already

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Verner did a great quad to open his program....then messed up the first 3a and popped the second one to a single, singled a flip, and fell on the footwork.

Thanks, Verner was first up and I missed his skate. OK, 2 quads for 12 men.

Maybe Jouby will pull a Miki Ando and come back with vengeance next year.

 

[Eevun]

We do AND it's acode phrase for: VODKA!!

 

[emma]

well, I have to admit that I started the night with a crazy stomachache - now I just have a headache. Thanks for the link for online streaming....i'm going to just watch the tv now.

Sorry for Brian. Hope he comes back strong at Worlds

Chocolate. Definitely chocolate. The only thing that can come close to a good shot of vodka!

Three enjoyable skates out of twelve: Adrian, Artem and Javier ....

 

[silversprings77]

yeah i feel sorta bad for Brian but i've noticed that he came in with one goal in mind: Gold or bust....and he seems to be one with the attitude of winning is everything....perhaps the pressure got to him.

 

[seniorita]

*hands over the vodka*

Splat galore. Ugh.

God, I think I'm gonna join this drinking game

 

[Dee4707]

NBC is going to start now.

 

[silversprings77]

God, I think I'm gonna join this drinking game

every time someone falls take a drink???

 

[DesertRoad]

I think Verner wins. But boy, I was hoping at least ONE of them would really rock the LP and unfortunately they all failed. Jeremy definitely overscored considering Brian's score. Javier was pretty good!

Verner was never a podium hopeful. Come on. He's a longer shot than Dennis Kucinich at the primaries.

I forgot that Alexie's music....Memorial

Dee, that music is called "Ancient Land" by Ronan Hardiman, part of an album of his, the name of which is "Anthem". He does music on Celtic themes (He's Irish); this one, I heard, was based on the culture of Jersey, in the Channel Islands. Alexei also used this music for "Overcome", but it is my understanding that this music has martial connotations.

Chemistry66, when I was in college, our "treat" was either chocolate bits and/or peanut butter with popcorn.
