[demarinis5]

Good morning everyone. The men take the ice in about 15 minutes.
Good luck Gentlemen.

Good luck.Joubert!

Disastrous beginning to Andre's program - Fall on first jump, hand down and step out on second jump, popped the next combination. He has settled down now.

Score -160.70

Gregor Urbas-SLO Nice prgoram only mistake I could see was slight step out on one of his jumps. He has the tech but not much artistry or musciality which relect in his marks. Score 167.87

Desloff/France One Fal.l Score 156.68

Igor M./SVK Score 165.20

Peter Lebers Germany-Score 176.88

Wu/China Score 169.36

Lots of mistakes by this first group.

this is really odd, but i really like how the announcer talks. LOL

 

[hazey]

Is anyone doing pbp？ *hopeful*

Second group is warming up.
On a shallow, but happy, note, Brian ditched the feathers on his LP costume

Feathers! I'm reminded of one particular performance of Daisuke Takahashi when the tip of a feather on his costume got into his nostril when he got into his starting pose.

Thanks in advance to everyone who contributes to the pbp or description of the competition! =)

Bradley seems very nervous today. Not as energetic as at SC.

Ouch. His bum wiggling did nothing for those triple axels. =/

 

[fumie_fumie]

Preaubert

- his hair is much tidier this season.
- Crowd is going nuts.
- 4t, a bit skewed in the air, saved the landing
- russian music
- 3A-3T
- He is going a bit behind the music.
- 3Flip- 2l(?), I think he is a lipper.
- 3A, crowd roars.
- his spins have improved.
- 3Lutz, step out.
- circular step, much improved posture. But, he is losing
- 3 loop solid
- 3 lutz - 2t-2loop,
- straight footwork step sequence, this is rather generic, he is losing his old on-the-ice personality
- 3 S out of nowhere, so late into the program
- spin to finish, what a way to finish
- he is going crazy out there.

- joubert is taking the ice and the crowd is screaming.

marks: 149.20

Good Luck Brian!

OMG, Jourbert just fell. Love his program, though. Preaubert could win this. That would be another upset.

I know. To bad for Joubert.

 

[fumie_fumie]

Joubert

- a banner saying he is "rayon de soleil"
- another macho program of Brian's
- 4 toe 2 turnout
- 3 sal, easy
- 3a- 2t
- circular step sequence, classic joubert footwork.
- stroking
- 3A gorgeous
- oh no fall on 3loop, short on rotation too.
- 3lutz-2t-2l,
- 2a, this program is completely backloaded.
- straight footwork, better than past years.
- 2a -2t
- spins to conclude the program
- crowd is a lot more subdued than when Alban was on the ice.I believe Alban has a good chance to be on the podium
- this program has huge potential.

marks: 147.38
