The sentimental part of me wants Chenjiang Li to kick ***. I always used to find him so undermarked in his heyday.

212 points for Chipeur, by the time we got to Chan, it could be 300+ Great skate

I was always so thankful to FrenchCBC but gosh people are really missing a great competition, not putting this on live as they did the ladies.

Regardless of whatever else Li does in his program, I'm just impressed with his durability. He's been cranking out quads for 10 years!

ITA And I also think that he really listened when people complained he had no presentation and worked to fix it. I find it really improved - look at how soft his arms are now and how he tries to work with the music and use his whole body! But I still found him undermarked even after that. He still has a smile on his face being out on the ice at 29(!) years old. Congrats for a great career.

Li is 29, is he the oldest? I'm impressed

Now that Koreans left the arena, I find the crowd reactions overall much subdued.

It's on CBC now.

I liked Li more than Wu

Can't believe radio canada ....... up what could be a great evening for many of us.

I think David Wilson is a fame ***** lol. He's been in the K&C with almost every competitor, even ones he isn't choreographer for (like Li - according to his bio at least). Ah well, he makes me smile with his reactions.

Jeremy Ten is a World Top Ten skater.

How do you mean this??? He is 44th in World Standings.

[Joesitz (RIP)]

So sad for Nanri. He really banged his knees in that horrendous fall. I think he should have gone to the referee but it's his game, and I respect that.

Yeah i noticed this - Yuna yesterday got more applause than Jeremy Ten today - and it's his hometown!!!

Evan looks so pretty in the warm up with his tux. Makes me think that Tanith is going to wear a dance costume and they're going to a gala or ball or maybe an Oscar party!
