I think he landed one quad-triple...the other one looked like a triple toe to me.
the first half looks like 4t-3t, 2a, 3t.
I think you're right.

The old cliff hanger

I am curious if those who are at 4CCs notice that the skaters are just a little off their "game". I haven't seen a performance yet that really is a show-stopper. Is it just too soon after the North American Nationals and, for whatever other reason (maybe because many Asian skaters skate in the US or Canada) the travel takes its toll. Maybe Ashley, Adam, Polina, Julianne and Charlie had the right idea to stay home and focus on Boston. I do enjoy seeing them compete before Worlds; maybe a show-stopper will come tomorrow.
It is also at this point I realize that watching a competition live - having physical advantage such as height, proportion of body etc do make quite a discernible difference in terms of.projection and presence on the ice. When one is tall/ or aesthetically proportionate they form a 'bigger' presence on the ice - you tend to notice them more somehow. This phenomenon do not come across on screen because the way the camera focuseed on each skater does not allow for context of their size in relation to the rink.
It makes me feel more for the tiny babies in skating world like Karen, Satoko, Shoma and tiny Da Bin Choi XD
They do have to work more to reach out to the audience!
@oniban thanks you so much for your detailed report. It is so much fun to read. So jelly, i wanna watch "nymph like pretty zijun" too
That korean tiny baby skater with soyoun maybe squirtle. Some taiwanese fans got a photo with squirtle. I also enjoyed kana's performance the most although it is on the screen. That killer stsq. Also i thought mirai's performance is a very emotional one. Glad that kinda emotion really projected live too.
Are you going to write live report about lp as well. Puppy eyes.
About the ice. The thing you described is normal. People always use ice to fill up the holes, marks, left behind by skaters e.g. Toe picking before zamboni.
Although i do think maybe the ice conditions are not idea. Since some skaters with strong ss tripped quite a lot, like other posters mentioned elsewhere.
Thanks again:luv17::
If ice is too cold, it is kinda more difficult to show-off ss. Skaters with strong ss usually prefer softer ice.
Thx for the men's report, OniBan, and especially for your new for Grant.
Good luck for you and your brother to Julian Yee!
