Men's LP...play-by-play coverage/comments

[dwiggin3]

Yay! Jeff!!

Well, the US men didn't do *bad* they're all in the top 6 or so...not bad when you think about how "off" the US men can be. But then again, it was so possible for both Johnny and Evan to medal....argh

 

[Saundy]

I can't agree with you more...oh Johnny!!!!...I'm going to watch on TV tonight but reading all of this just makes me so spazzy...Did Johnny really totally ditch an entire jump combo and 2 spin combos?....please elaborate

I saw it already. He opened nicely, but in the middle he sailed right past a scheduled jump and went into another one. He just lacked his normal spark and seemed like he was thinking too much. I can't remember if he did 2 combos. I don't think so. I think it was only the one in the beginning. So he used only 7 of the 8 jump passes.

Poor Johnny.

Oh my...I honestly can't remember if he got the 3A or not...I kind of think he did...but don't quote me on that! haha

 

[CDMM1991]

That sounds like it was better than Jeff, but it depends what the judges do with it.

 

[Kwanford Wife]

FS= Steaming pile?

I'm thinkin' so... Oh well... since Joubert is in 6th, I won't be forced to leave my husband & go on tour with him... Such is life... I didn't feel like packing anyway...

 

[Jasper]

Not great by Takahashi. He stumbled on the footwork and had so many poor landings, besides the fall.

That better not be bronze.

 

[CDMM1991]

Johnny got the first 3A, doubled the second.

 

[CDMM1991]

Shakin' in my chair!

 

[enlight78]

Johnny what happe? Poor guy even I just want to

 

[slutskayafan21]

Go judges, you have been awful a few times today by giving Lysacek ridiculously inflated PCS scores, and scoring spins terrably, but do the right thing this time and give Buttle the bronze over that skate!

 

[Saundy]

I can't breathe here I'm so nervous!

 

[nicole_l]
