Men's Short Program Start Order Up

[EvanLysacekFan]

I'm so nervous.

 

[K-Mo]

Something doesn't seem right. I obviously will have to wait and see it, but a clean Johnny with his amazing SP falls below Sandhu with a fall? I don't get it...

 

[dugyiho]

Maybe he doubled a jump? His technical score is 36.85 as compared to Sandhu's 41.87 and Li's 39.60.

Yeah, me either. Unfortunately, I won't see it until Thursday.

 

[EvanLysacekFan]

Yeah, and his PCS was also behind Sandhu, and that is hard to accept.

 

[EvanLysacekFan]

Well there goes Evan's medal shot. I can't believe he had no deductions and was still so far behind Sandhu and Weir in technical marks.

I wish someone that could actually watch this would post about what's going on with this.

1 Emanuel SANDHU CAN 107.36 6 1
2 Johnny WEIR USA 106.91 4 2
3 Evan LYSACEK USA 105.25 2 4

Evan is only about 1 point behind Weir and 2 points behind Sandhu. I don't think he's shut out of a medal yet.

 

[dugyiho]

Yeah, he did climb back from 10th to 4th at the olympics.

The best skaters were still yet to come. Oda is far ahead. So, yeah.

 

[EvanLysacekFan]

Yeah, he did climb back from 10th to 4th at the olympics.

I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up at this point. Chances are I'd be disappointed.

If they're giving 78.41 to Sandhu with a fall, they'll definitely give Lambiel a 90 if he skates clean. Jesus, weird weird scoring. Seems likes judges are not holding Americans in "high esteem." Weir clean but only 73 - 5 points behind Sandhu with a fall?! Lysacek clean besides a stumble but only 70 - 8 points behind Sandhu with a fall?! Savoie getting the same PCS as friggin' Li of China?! And 78 is also huge for Oda, way beyond his past totals. This is nutty.

3 Johnny WEIR USA 106.91 4 3
4 Evan LYSACEK USA 105.25 2 5
5 Chengjiang LI CHN 104.82 5 4
6 Ilia KLIMKIN RUS 101.37 3 7
7 Matthew SAVOIE USA 99.33 8 6
8 Tomas VERNER CZE 97.33 7 8

So much for Klimkin.

 

[Jasper]

I just can't believe Li got a total of 73 in the short. Suddenly judges are going Asia-crazy with Japanese and Chinese. Look at pairs and men so far.

 

[EvanLysacekFan]

Yeah, the judging is ridiculous. But it's not out of the ordinary for figure skating.

 

[Jasper]

Wow. Bullshit, bullshit. Sandhu with a fall better than Lambiel with a hand down? Bullshit, bullshit.

Canada is conspiring with Japan, clearly.

 

[EvanLysacekFan]

Lambiel behind Oda in the short

1 Stephane LAMBIEL SUI 117.64 1 3
2 Nobunari ODA JPN 114.48 1 2
3 Emanuel SANDHU CAN 107.36 6 1
4 Johnny WEIR USA 106.91 4 4
5 Evan LYSACEK USA 105.25 2 6
6 Chengjiang LI CHN 104.82 5 5
7 Ilia KLIMKIN RUS 101.37 3 8
8 Matthew SAVOIE USA 99.33 8 7

At least thank god that Oda won't be in first going into the long.

 

[Jasper]

But Lambiel is still 10 ahead of #3 Sandhu! :lol:

 

[EvanLysacekFan]

Go Brian! You're one of my last hopes.

 

[dugyiho]

Maybe Sandhu landed his quad triple combo? Who knows.
