Mens SP

[Wrlmy]

I love coach Sato. Yay Takahiko landed all his jumps!

 

[Medusa]

TAKA!!!!!! Incredible!

 

[HCOSurfer]

You think Kozuka will beat Joubert?

 

[Hsuhs]

Yay Kozuka-kun! Very well done :thumbsup:

 

[shallwedansu]

He did it! Watching Kozuka always makes me so happy. Kozuka was brilliant and Yuka Sato is still brilliant for choreographing my favorite Men's SP of the season.

 

[Medusa]

You think Kozuka will beat Joubert?

I sincerely hope so. I get that Lysacek doesn't get big GOE on his jumps, none of those are great.

But Taka has incredible jumps.

You think Kozuka will beat Joubert?

He should!! No doubt about it.. But lets see what judges say...

How come is Abbott in 7th when he tied with Voronov with score?

 

[cloudkicker09]

I would give him an 83 Below Brian and above 'Bring It Boy"

I usually can't watch "Take Five" as a skating program but he actually made the 5/4 rhythm work for him. Excellent program.

He has such a nice flow...He looks satisfied with his skate

I love his "I'm about to burst into tears" expression. Okay that's weird but it's just too cute. He's like a sad puppy.

lol I thought "something happened to him". A few errors in the program, but overakll I liked it.

Kozuka was great too!

 

[HCOSurfer]

What, Kozuka behind Joubert!?!?!?!?

 

[Hsuhs]

It's Tomas's turn to ..... things up!

Takahiko's in 3rd

 

[Kissx3]

Kozuka's skating is magical but I have such seeting hate for his "please hold...a customer service representative will be with you in a moment" music.

 

[Kinga]

Nooooooooooo way!!!!! What did the judges smoke today????????????

 

[HCOSurfer]

Kozuka WUZ ROBBED big time :disapp:

 

[Okami]

WTF with Takahiko's score? The judges really seem not into the Japanese skaters lately...

 

[Hsuhs]

A beautiful and easy 4+3 from Tomas.

Sorry you feel that way. "Take Five" is such a jazz classic and was so ahead of it's time in the 50's.
