Song Gao, China
does his own choreo
3 axel, slow entry but flies high good landing
3ltz-2t, ok
3 loop good
decent spin
circular footwork, slow, not much presentation
sit ch sit, ok
sl footwork, more speed
good flying sit to finish

Technically looked good, but presentation/ choreo sadly lacking
In first with 58.74

Song Gao's first jump was a WOW.
(I wanted to say WOW, GAO! but really only that 1st jump was outstanding.)
Otherwise quite good. He needs better music and choreo.

Charles Pao- Taiwan, American born/ trains in US 10 hours week, tango music- that's original!
3 lutz fall after bizarre opening choreo
3 sal-2t good
2 axel step out
pedestrian footwork
falls on flying sit
ok combo spin
problems in sit ch sit
not bad if he really trains only 10 hours week

1st international competition, seems happy "I'm dead" he says in k&c

34.45 - ouch!

 

[Spun Silver]

Is it my imagination or is the sound in the k&c turned up louder than usual?

 

[dgel]

Sebra Zen, horrible outfit

2 axel step out saves the fall
3 toe
fell on entry to spin, shook him up
back into footwork, quite expressive
3 sal 2t a bit messy but ok
interesting positions on flying sit

Good interpretation overall, lacked speed

He's quite happy in the K&C
31.05 - ouch again, thought it was a bit better than that..

 

[Medusa]

Is it my imagination or is the sound in the k&c turned up louder than usual?

It was already like that at Canadian Nationals, you could hear everything they said perfectly well.

A Buttle-inspired costume!

footwork ok
combo spin- poor, put his hand down!
