My sound keeps going on and off. What the hell?
Not cute.

My IceNetwork feed froze.
Dai's a World champion... I do not need to make excuses for him. But then, neither do you, eh?

Handsome Spaniard, Verdi - for a minute I thought I was watching Placido Domingo!
Audience dotes on him, stumbles and all.

Orser's skaters rock... wow... even with the mistakes... wow loved it. Don't remember him from last year AT ALL but I'll remember him from this!
I love him, too- but he's so much better than that program, imo. I think Peter Carruthers is a Chan-fan! Not trying to start anything- I loved him tonight, too. Sometimes with Chan, he seems so overmarked- but tonight I did think what he did was deserving.

Feed cut out during Chan's program. But what I saw I loved. Very understated style to go with the music. Of course, there's nothing understated about Chan's edging and speed. He makes all the other skaters look conservative. Lots of intricacies. I love how the Canadian crowd clapped as loudly, or perhaps louder for his successful 3axel compared to how much they clapped for his 4toe. They know the 3axel is the jump that bedevils Chan. Would've liked to seen the rest.
Daisuke's program is just a dream. Or well, an acid trip. Love that he used the entire piece, no funky edits. Mistakes here and there, but at this point in his career, who cares? Yes, there was a time, before his injuries, when his jumps, along with so many other things, were Daisuke's strong points. But take away some of those jumps, and you still have a skater with so much skating ability, charisma and absolute artistic abandonment. And he's still in competition for every medal. I do so direly wish judges rewarded Daisuke fairly back when he did have his jumps down better (and he was as artistically gifted then).

Wow, there were quad luz, quad toe, quad flip and quad sal performed (though not all rectified) in this competition.
