Men's Short Program.. Tuesday 16th, 7:15PM EST

Dai dai dai dai dai!!!

Uhm, fair enough, they also gave Taka lower transitions than the other PCS...

Whoa, did Schulteiss just attempt a quad???

 

[Maribelle]

I hope someone breaks the Russian Olympics monopoly in the men's too! Maybe it can be Takahashi... someone else has got to do a quad in the short though!

 

[Eevun]

adrian made a quad!!!! his first!!

 

[skatingbc]

so sorry, that should've been 1. They are still protecting the lead.

It's only .60 off the lead though!! If they wanted to protect the lead they would have given him a lot lower than that. I do agree that Takahashi should have been higher, but only because I dislike Plushenko!

 

[screech]

I can only imagine if Dai did a quad... wow, though I do have to kind of wonder how he got +0.8 on his combo - the flip wasn't secure and the toe was borderline for being u/r...

I love Adrian's costume!

 

[aarower]

Another Elvis comment! This time from David Pelletier. Drink up!!

 

[Eevun]

[kiz_4Ever]

go stephane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! c'mon little prince!!!

 

[CdnSkateWatcher]

I love Adrian's costume!

Yes. The classiest of the men as yet; I wish more would be as well done as this, and lose random teeth, feathers, shoulder pads, and weird illusion bits.

 

[magicalwords]

Well, I would've given higher PCS for Dai to make up what, IMO, should've been lower TES.. that 3T looked really UR in slo-mo and since he also flutzes.. But certainly his performance was way above Plushenko's level and he definitely deserves more in at least performance category.

 

[Scout]

so...since he only did a single toe after the quad, which means it doesn't count as a combo, does that mean his 3F is worth nothing? how does this work?

edit:never mind...commentators messed up

 

[magicalwords]

Adrian's Quad combo left him with 5.40, about the score of a triple flip. :<

 

[dannyascii]

O my goodness, look at Daisuke's score :O
I think Plushenko's choreo/transition scores were fair enough that even people that can't jump like him still have a fighting chance in this competition

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Força, Stéphane!

 

[ARipp42014]

[jovani2293]

5.4 on the quad combo only.

 

[seniorita]

Plushy this is choosing the right music!!! Dai was awesome!

Stephaneeee GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[amateur]

With all the voidiness of his LP, I forgot that Schultheiss (sp?) is actually a pretty good skater. That was pretty nice, and a nice contrast. too bad he only got the 1t after the quad.
