yawn...

Plushenko's transition marks are still higher than Amodio's 6.4, which is absurd.

 

[cloudkicker09]

Alright that's it the judging is pathetic, and the sport really is going down the toliet.

 

[gsrossano]

Server is slow!!!

Vaughn, what a blah skate! PCs 5.4

Plushenko technically superb, 90.85. PCs 8.0.

Let the controversy begin! No transitions for the first three elements, but then 4-8 are back to back and that gets credit in Transitions mark.

Ice cut has begun.

 

[Hsuhs]

Ladies and Gents, the competition is over. They shouldn't even bother make him skate a Long Program and make everyone else skate for silver and bronze...

Ah, it's over when it's over. And it's not over yet. I'm going to enjoy this till the end!

 

[lavender]

Good luck to all the other guys...they are going to need a great miracle to get them rightfully far ahead in the pcs scores if they all skate up to their potential.

That 3T was a little wonky.

Wow Plushenko... Didn't show one ounce of nerves. Pretty impressive that is. I was just annoyed by the step sequence; I mean; what was the point of having music there if he just went about it on his own, completely different rhythm. Love the 'attitude' at the end. Normally I don't like overconfident people, but this guy obviously has every right to be that way .

 

[prettykeys]

Plushenko's jumps are almost as good as they used to be. Really happy for him.

 

[Buzzz]

Great skate for Plushy! :thumbsup:

 

[mycelticblessing]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was actually very nervous during his skate!

Me too! And I'm not even a Plushy fan! I'll probably be a nervous wreck when Takahashi skates!

 

[genegri]

Dick Button: Plushy likes to be an evil charactor LOL!!!

 

[beep_beep]

Holy inflation, Batman
90 !?

 

[Eevun]

Just woke up mum, and there she went to bed again. Waking her up next to Adrian's skate in an hour. The feed froze just when Plushy took ice!! But we got it back just in time.

OK, so Plushy is the best. But boring. Quite an exciting night we got here... *sighs*

Now, bathroom brake!

 

[skatemom1122]

You've got to give it to him, he is THE best technically, artistry aside.

 

[simplymyself]

Idk, but Plushenko ALWAYS brings it, whether people like it or not.

 

[kappa_1]

Ah, it's over when it's over. And it's not over yet. I'm going to enjoy this till the end!

Hsuhs, I really hope you're right. I want a competition!!!

 

[MK's Winter]

Plushy - Great jumps but flailing your arms around like your having a seizure does nothing for me

 

[Alatariel]

Ok, did anybody else get the vibe Plushenko was not satisfied with his skate? I don't know why but I thought he looked a bit miffed there, before the marks were out and after.

Anyway, I have no idea why but I was almost incapable of watching that, have no idea what came over me!

 

[antmanb]

Well at least Inman can be happy the judges got his memo!
