Men's LP

I feel bad for Evan. In Canada, he's doing all the usual arm waving thing, but the audience does not seem to tune in. He's basically performing for himself.
 
YAY SSS makes top5!!

It's so weird to see Evan this early.
Go Evan!
3flip?
3axel
3sal
3axel-2t-2r
3loop
3flip-3toe
3lutz-2toe
I missed the next jump

Evan is so consistent. Surprised at no quad attempt.
But, oh please, gain a few pounds and get a new costume. You look like a tarantula without a prom date.
 
Ergh, Evan is putting me to sleep. I can't even keep focused on his performance. It looks better than last week, but all his jumps look so *small*! Really, I mean, he's always had problems with his quad and 3A, but today his jumps look so low. Every jump looks on the verge of being under-rotated. God, I hope this LP doesn't beat Shawn Sawyer's. I mean, probably there's no hope of Shawn Sawyer beating him over all, with a 7-pt lead, but I definitely think Shawn's LP is better.

Oh, yeah, he looks *awful* with all that arm-flailing, and without the audience getting into it, he just looks silly, like an ape with all those dangling limbs and the hunched shoulders (made worse by that awful floppy costume).

OT: did Frank Caroll just say that he's being mistaken for John McCain? OMG, I totally didn't realize before, but he's totally right! (if that's what he said) Maybe that's why I was subconsciously disliking him. (I'm feeling so mean today. ;) )

Sadly, I have to agree.
 
Evan's jumps look small, and his 3A, once again, freaks me out! Please Evan, fix that technique before you seriously hurt yourself!

Overall a better performance than last week, but I also thought a little less confident. It must be very weird for him to be in 4th after the SP, even if it was deserved.

And feraina, ITA.
 
Awww, Shawn beats Evan by almost 5 points in the LP, but it's still not enough for Sawyer to lead overall.
 
So, judges did place Shawn Sawyer's LP over Evan's (good judging!), but alas, overall Evan goes into first...
 
Evan is barely ahead of Shawn.

Although I always find Ryan's programs fun, he's becoming more and more of a one-trick pony. But great jumps. He certainly outskated Evan.
 
Can Ryan Bradley seize the opportunity to finally win his 1st senior Grand Prix medal?

Agh first my mom called at the beginning of Ryan's LP, then I lost internet connection!
Major fail = [.

Aww Ryan is adorable in KnC!
 
Gosh, I don't know if I've seen a slss as slow as Ryan Bradley's. I mean, does it still count as a sequence when he crawls down to a stop, then walks out the rest in slow-motion?! :biggrin:

Ryan has improved a lot since two seasons ago, but his basic skating skills are still somewhat lacking (contributing to the slowness). His showmanship is definitely there, though, and his jumps were all landed if a little shaky at times. It'd be interesting to see whether this LP beats Shawn Sawyer's (if it were up to me, it wouldn't, despite the quad).
 
Evan was given a score of 3.5 over Shawn the PSCs. Evan beat him by less than that overall so it begs the question was Evan that much better on the second mark than Shawn?

Agree. Caressing chest doesn't count as step sequence.

No, not at all.

Great skate by Ryan. He's definitely won me over this weekend.
 
Ryan beats Evan (but loses to Shawn Sawyer in the SP), wow! So Evan's probably not going to make it to the GPF. I do hope that his slss got level 1 and -GOE, thugh I'm not unhappy that he beat Evan in both the LP and overall. Well down, Ryan!

Patrick Chan looking sharp (no jumps yet). :love:

One hand briefly down on the 3A. Very easy looking 3F-3T.
