[Debbie S]

[Karen-W]

Well... Tamir started out so great with a beautiful 4s+3t and then doubled the 4t... And pops the 3a... Yikes.

 

[Vagabond]

Tamir Kuperman
Coach: Galit Chait Moracci, Evgeni Krasnopolski
Music: Four Seasons Winter by Vivaldi

4S+3T
2T* - invalid element
Flying Camel Spin 4 (3 after review)
1A* - invalid element
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

The opening combo was great, and then it was a disaster. Quality skating, and a quality skater, but you have to rotate no matter what.

63.82 = 15th Place

 

[HaNguyen]

Oh, poor Tamir!

 

[CantALoop]

Poor Tamir is understandably devastated

 

[TAHbKA]

Remembering now what do I hate about the competitions in China - the ceiling camera

 

[dinakt]

First time I saw Tamir skate; a beautiful skater.

 

[CantALoop]

Omg cameraman why zoom in at his bloodshot crying eyes wtf

 

[Karen-W]

Aw, that closeup of his face in the KnC! So sad for him.

 

[Debbie S]

Tamir is 18. Even if he doesn't make the Olys, he's the Israeli man of the future. Hopefully, he can use this experience to help him progress during the next quad.

 

[Rukia]

poor guy i feel for him

 

[floridaice]

Go Donovan!!

 

[Vagabond]

That closeup could have been "the agony of defeat" on Wide World of Sports.

 

[Debbie S]

I love Donovan but why does he have to keep skating this program?

 

[HaNguyen]

Yes! Donovan, you go!

 

[Karen-W]

Well, good Donovan came to skate today!

 

[Rukia]

donovan wants that spot!

 

[floridaice]

I don't think I breathed until the last jump!!

 

[skatfan]

I think that’s the best I’ve ever seen him skate. The prayer circle worked!

[dinakt]

Carrillo worth the wait!

 

[CantALoop]

I love Donovan but why does he have to keep skating this program?

He’s trying to make the judges ovulate

 

[Karen-W]

That's so great for Donovan! New PB by over 4 points!

 

[floridaice]

He’s trying to make the judges ovulate

Well, I'm too old for that, but now I'm awake and I need to go to sleep!
