Men's Short Program

[Ximena]

Honestly liked Nanri better...oh well.

 

[slutskayafan21]

It looks like Verner is going to do a clean program.

 

[Hsuhs]

Verner had a chance and he's used it!

Tomas Verner

3f-3t held but nice
3ax very nice!
3z good!
Yay!!
Ok I remmeber now that I liked the second part of the program better.
See? That's pretty,
Straightline footwork, very nice!! That or I'm totally biased.
Cftwok, very fast, little jumps and turns, twizzles, oh this is good.
Vert fast combo to end, well at least the sit spin part.
YAY!!!!

 

[slutskayafan21]

Great performance. That should easily put him in the lead. It will be interesting to see how high he can score without a quad though.

 

[oleada]

Verner was great! Definitely the best so far.

 

[Hsuhs]

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! Daisu-ke!! Daisu-ke!!!

 

[Ximena]

Great score!!

[slutskayafan21]

Pretty good score for a quadless program. Good to see him skating well again and happy. Too bad he has no shot at the final no matter what happens here.

 

[slutskayafan21]

Takahashi flips off his triple axel. It will be interesting to see if that puts Verner ahead of him or not.

 

[Ximena]

Takahashi
Shizuka's Swan Lake

3f-3t very nice
3ax step out
3z good
He has such a low sit spin!
Cftwk very good, and people are screaming
He is a little rushed today.
Straightline ftwk, somehow it seems this work a tad better at SA, but still very good!
Final combo, almost lost balance in sit spin before changing foot.

Tomas should be first. IMO

 

[Hsuhs]

Daisuke, why SO nervous?

 

[slutskayafan21]

Tomas should be first. IMO

I agree. I like Takahashi but that was not as good as Verner IMO. However remember the huge home cooked scores of NHK last year. Unbelievable scores in SP to Oda, Takahashi, and LP for Oda, only Takahashi's LP was a real score. So dont be surprised......

 

[Hsuhs]

I disagree.

 

[Ximena]

Ah yes, I mean if Tomas is first, he'll still be second by very close margin, but don't think he can be first.

[Ximena]

Wow so tomorrow it would be Tomas vs Takahashi
and the rest for bronce, 3-6 are so close!! Actually 3-11 are close.

 

[slutskayafan21]

Yeah Verner is first.
