Men's Short Program

[Saundy]

they all look so sad.

2 songs Kurt has previously skated to, back to back

yeah...that probably is due to the fact that Kurt is one of Jermey's choreographers. haha :yes:

 

[emma]

Oh, this is just sad - Wu is awesome too, but these poor guys keep falling.

 

[museksk8r]

The ice is haunted with gremlins.

 

[MissCleo]

Jeez... would you look at that hair!

 

[Hsuhs]

Why do they play Britney's "Oops I did it again" in the background? Have mercy for the poor guys!

 

[Wrlmy]

sorry, no disrespect, but this guy's hair looks like a troll doll! lol!

I was thinking about the same thing

Jialiang Wu
Music: All Alone

Hopefully he'll break the splatfest trend.

3F-2T, nicely done, close to the boards
3A, UR and fall it seems
Combo spin sorta slow but nice positions
Cool entrance into 3Z, but another fall
Circular step rather uninteresting
Flying sit, ok
Straightline step, again not great
Final sitspin, ok again

Not that interesting, and 2 falls...

47.51 - 4th

Hopefully the next flight will be a lot, LOT cleaner. On the bright side, the red screen of death hasn't popped up once yet!

 

[museksk8r]

Too bad Vaughn's performance did not set the tone for the evening . . . poor guys!

 

[Ximena]

Oh Britney...why Britney??!

 

[lutzskate]

Why do they play Britney's "Oops I did it again" in the background? Have mercy for the poor guys!

Yeah, have you noticed that ALL of the music they're playing is BRITNEY SPEARS!?! EVERY song she's ever written! What's with THAT??? Couldn't they play something a little more current??!!!

 

[mizu_iro]

WOW, GREAT quad from Kevin Van Der Perren! If he lands one of those beauties in the short that'll put him in GREAT position for a medal.
And a great quad from Joubert as well! And a clean 3A from Buttle!
Hopefully the practice is a sign of things to come...

 

[lutzskate]

jeff just landed perfect 3flip 3 toe combo and 3 axel

interesting that the order of skate is determined by world ranking. Go vaughn! He showed up the others ahead of him.

several guys landing quads in warm up (not jeff - didnt' try one)

jeff is looking really comfortable out there though. Moving across the ice seamlessly.

 

[Ximena]

I thought Pavel was Jeff, hence my surprise with the costume.
Kevin is ranked higher than Jeff??
Jeff's shirt made me giggle, nice jumps
Kev!! 4T!! Go Kevin!!
Brian's 4t looks very easy, looks goof.

Ok from this warmup, one can expect a good set of performances.

 

[Bruin714]

Commentator?

Who's the comentator? She's doing well.

 

[Ximena]

I thought that Brian had his skate guards on his hands, now I just noticed it was his costume.

 

[Saundy]

Who's the comentator? She's doing well.

She sounds SO familiar...I can't think of who it COULD be though. I'm drawing a blank.

 

[silver.blades]

I'm pretty sure the commentator is PJ Kwong. It sounds like her and she is signed on as a commentator with CBC. She did worlds for Country Canada last year.

 

[aarower]

PJ Kwong - she is from Mississauga. She used to always announce Canadians / Skate Canada / Worlds and has now moved on to commentate for CBC Country Canada. She knows tonnes of languages. I think she is a dance coach as well.

 

[Hsuhs]

Oh those guys with double axels...

 

[Wrlmy]

I loved the music. Very interesting rendition of Nutcracker
