WOO HOO!!!!!! :yay: PIGGIES CAN FLY!!!!!

 

[Nadine]

Froze during his 3F/3T, but saw his HUGE 3A, and the nice 3L (tight landing thoug). I'm not a fan of this SP, but the more I see it that more I think of Benjamin Millepied, and therefore I'm starting to enjoy it.

OBVIOUSLY 1ST PLACE!!!

Nice job, Jeremy. It wasn't on fire but he did it well. Nice dramatic footwork section where he claps and slaps his thighs for rhythmic effect. He claims the tango there - otherwise I wouldn't think it's really his thing. He's not the sexiest guy out there. He leads with 78.39.

BTW - Cassar is more of a tango type. Very smooth skater with great line, I liked him. Can anyone tell me what the movement is that he did that looks like a spread eagle only leaning far forward toward the ice (inside edge)? It was spectacular!

 

[Layfan]

Hmm. Thought the score would be higher.

 

[seniorita]

Weeee 3 times US Champion!
Why USA nationals dont inflate marks?
Shall I stay for Bradley?

 

[museksk8r]

78.39 and a pretty comfy lead, I'll take that!

 

[emma]

OMG....my internet went out; I totally missed Abbot, returned in time only for the scores. I feel a bit deflated. Sounds like he did well.

 

[Nadine]

Does anybody have a link of ALL the competitors so I can click on it while watching IN. Thanks!

yes!!!!!! stay for Bradley. Long wait though.

 

[Mrs. P]

Hmm. Thought the score would be higher.

So did I, but given how low everyone else has been so far...it sort of makes sense...And for some reason they're really taking it easy on the scores at this competition. No major score inflation in any of the SP disciplines.

I thought his second mark should be higher, but great program!!!!!!

Um, if you ask me, he's the sexiest guy in this entire competition!

 

[Mrs. P]

I'm really amused by some of these announcer intros...Jason Brown would be a volleyball player if he wasn't a skater?

for the women I thought it was because of the lack of spiral sequences. Scores seem to match the GPS scores. Don't know about the men.

 

[MrScroogeMcDuck]

Thought the score was quite reasonable. Good job, especially after what had come before, but not great.

I'm waiting for someone to say they started skating in the womb.

 

[Nadine]

Great, found the link for all the competitors on page 1 (thanks Mrs. P!)!!!!

 

[Spun Silver]

Funny! He's a boy next door type to me.

Yay, Parker found the necklace.

 

[MrScroogeMcDuck]

Chain has been found. It was tripped on during warm-up.
