Dornbush did great. I expected that but it's good to see and a standout in such an early group.

Richard Dornbush

A bit forward on the 3T on the 3Lz+3T, but completed. A touch down with the foot on the 3A, not getting that free leg out. Nice hydroblading step into a 3F. Could have a bit more dance-ability in the footwork sequence to impart the flamenco flair. Great split jump, though. Mostly solid on all the elements and it should put him somewhere in the high 60s.

SP: 70.54, hmm... better than expected

Dornbush is looking prettier than usual at this competition. I wonder if next season he'll bloom into sexy.

Yes! With me too! Better than Ice Network

Even though IN was only 4.95 vs US 9.95, I didn't want to give IN anymore of my money, you would think paying a full season you'd get a full season!

Nan Song

Another Requiem program. Good timing on the 3Lz+3T to the music, and very square on the landing for the 3A. Slightly forward on the 3F. Fairly interesting steps in the footwork sequence, so I wish the transitions were just as interesting. I didn't get a sense of the ethereal, desperately dramatic tone of the piece, though the musicality was good.

SP: 63.78

 

[Krislite]

Tried the free streaming for a few seconds and bailed. I just bought the Universal Sports stream and it is AWESOME!

I saw all of Nan Song's SP.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Good for D10! After a painful season. He's showing his talent again.

Ten:

3A - smooth
3Lz+3T, turnout landing, maybe UR
3F - OK

Last spin was slow.

Denis Ten

Solid 3A. Clean but wobbly 3Lz+3T. Good 3F. Strong inside edge and speed on the combination spin. Not a bad footwork sequence, but he could work on his position through his back and shoulders for a better line and better balance. I liked the interpretation of the piece, and it shows that he was able to shake his wonky season and develop his artistry.

SP: 71.00

 

[JeffyJosephNCA]

Dennis into 1st, 71.00

Question to those who watch universal sports - is there commentary? I am watching icenetwork and the quality is good too I think, but there is no commentary.
