he seemed slow and hesitant but that could be my feed...

Stephen Carrierre
Stairway to Heaven
Brown with some red

Circular steps (I think) to start
He gets great choreo as well, maybe not as exciting a performer as Abbott
3A - wild pitched forward landing, but he stuck it
3F-3T - again, not pretty, but he's determined
Change foot sit - nice basic positions
Steps into 3Z - best landing so far, but not perfect
Flying sit spin, this is nice and to the music
SLSS - very well done
Final combo spin

Very nice! He performed that really well. The commentator says "maybe yes maybe no", probably regarding whether he'll be in 1st.

Stephen is talented, but either I am imagining things with the tiny screen view, or he keeps his shoulders hunched too much of the time. I don't think he realizes that he does it.

 

[dwiggin3]

he does...the hunched shoulders I mean...also keeps his mouth open to breath a bit wider than most....

 

[museksk8r]

WHAT?! Am I watching the same skaters as the judges? Stephen into 2nd?? How in the world?

 

[mizu_iro]

Aww, he looks so awkward in the KnC sitting between his coaches!

68.20 - 2nd, I think it's about right. His PCS is lower than Abbott and Voronov, but he stuck everything.

I thought Preaubert had withdrawn, but he's still listed in the warm-up group. I'm confused. Has he or hasn't he?

Davydov is gorgeous. His music is also beautiful.

 

[mizu_iro]

Sergei Davidov
Schindler's List
Black with some pale blue

3A with LONG entry edge but well done
3Z-3T - again, a TON of telegraphing but well done
3F (not really) out of steps - easy
Flying sit spin, not the best
Circular steps - ok, a bit of a letdown after the last two skaters
Combo spin - a bit of travel, but decent
SLSS - very long edges, not overdone
Change-foot-sit - ok

The jumps were gorgeous. Everything else? Meh.

 

[Dodhiyel]

Davydov made me smile. It may not have been CoP fancy, but it was beautifully done, definitely a rising to the occasion, so watchable!

 

[mycelticblessing]

His program was perfect!! nailed all his jumps, and they all looked so gorgeous!!

 

[Dodhiyel]

Oy, the Turkish feed went black. Not now, please!!!

 

[mizu_iro]

68.19 - 3rd. Hrm, I thought the jumps alone should have been enough for first, but I guess the other elements weren't enough.

 

[museksk8r]

I LOVE Tomas' SP and music . . . very unique and fun! He's so cute and lovable!

Verner just ROCKED that programm.

 

[mycelticblessing]

Verner has got to be first now!!:thumbsup:

 

[jcoates]

Fantastic Tomas! Great job.

 

[museksk8r]

HAHAHA, he's PUMPED at his performance as he should be! WELL DONE, TOMAS!!!!!!!!

 

[mizu_iro]

Tomas Verner
Gypsy Swing
Black all over

My favorite program this season
3F-3T, perfect and preceded by steps
3A, great rideout
3Z out of hard steps, light and airy
SLSS - the crowd is going nuts. This is how to do COP, folks!
Flying sit - cannonball into pancake
Circular steps - the crowd is clapping along
What a performance!
Final combo spin - nice speed

He is thrilled. Partial standing O. I am expecting a HUGE score.

Oy, the Turkish feed went black. Not now, please!!!

If your turkish feed is going down a lot try rebboting your computer. Usually works for me...

Or try slovakian TV
