Oda will go into first. Very good skate.

Nubonari Oda - JPN
uber bombastic piano and orchestra techno music.

3a great landing!
3f-3t good
3lz fine

(did i mix up his lz and f ? )

I don't care for this music one bit, geez this guy could interpret much classier types of music... but I guess he did a decent job with it, his great flow was really effective for most of it.

79.20 - 1st easily so far

Loved Oda's program! great speed! For those in Canada, SkateBuzz is streaming the competition today live....it is really great!

 

[demarinis5]

Well Oda has set the tone very high for the next six skaters.

 

[Okami]

SO robbed on PCS/GoEs. Hopefully with a few consistent performances his scores will go up.

Is there any live stream of TEB outside USA and Canada?

 

[amateur]

Arg, Zorba does not mean 'dressed for the navy"!!!

Yes, I think skating in the 1st group also had a lot to do with his lower PCS marks. If his seeding were higher, he'd likely have higher PCS scores too. Had he been able to skate the 2007-2008 season and been allowed to compete more in last season's Grand Prix, his seeding would have been high enough for him to be in the final group.

Voronov's on today. Jump-wise.
Well, obviously not. URs?

Voronov's on today. Jump-wise.

Thank goodness! The SP sadly has always been his gauntlet. 72.80, a new PB for Sergei, into 2nd place behind Oda.

He went for a 4+3, I believe. But it can't be worth 72.80.

Adam's landing all his jumps, inc a 'double' tano. I wonder what he is going to get.

Beautiful program from Rippon! That is the first time I've seen him skate and he definietly impressed!

 

[HCOSurfer]

Clean skate for Adam:
3F-3T
3A (very nice)
Tano 3Z (HUGE!!!)

Nicely done :thumbsup:

 

[Hsuhs]

Allez Albaaaan!

 

[demarinis5]

Great skate for Adam, good score too. I wonder if it is a PB for him. Loved his program.

 

[Hsuhs]

The way Alban saves his jumps... it's something! Every time you'd think he'll land on his ... for sure, he doesn't! :thumbsup:

Must be URs again, just like with Voronov.

 

[museksk8r]

Great skate for Adam, good score too. I wonder if it is a PB for him. Loved his program.

Yes, Adam also scored a PB in the SP with 75.82. Great for him!

 

[Hsuhs]

Loved Yannick's cleavage!

Guess, who's next.... allez Brian!

 

[museksk8r]

Loved Yannick's cleavage!

How is he doing? I'm almost too afraid to ask . . . he REALLY can't afford to have a bad skate. Well, the comfort for Ponsero is knowing he outscored Preaubert by 6 points in the SP.
