[umronnie]

Is Kevin making up the program on the fly? Looked like a Lutz entrance to the 3A...

 

[HaNguyen]

Good Aymoz came out to play today! Just a slight bobble on the 3 axle and everything else looked good. To me, at least.

 

[Debbie S]

This has the potential to bring the house down at Euros and Olys, but it's not quite there yet. The choreo looks unfinished, like he's not sure what to do next.

 

[Karen-W]

Memola heard the men menned in Oberstdorf and wanted to be there with a fall on his 4z.

Elements -
4F+3Tq, 3A, FSSp4, 4Lz F, CCSp4, CCoSp4, StSq4

Aymoz elements -
4T+3T, 3Lz, CCSp4, 3A, FSSp4, StSq4, CCOSp4

 

[HaNguyen]

I liked Tomas' skate, it was cheerful and rather comedic.

 

[victorskid]

After 2 of 4 groups there is an ice resurfacing.

[4rkidz]

I love Kevin’s program! I think he will have a great season! Nikolaj’s program is lovely too!

 

[HaNguyen]

At least Matteo looked like he had a clean 4T, although he stepped out of the 3A and seemed to have spin trouble.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

I got the Selevko brothers confused and wondered why he was now wearing a skeleton costume for "Kiss."

[tony]

Look at those PCS for Kessler. The Mark Hanretty stamp of approval already working in his favor!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Good Lord I just posted this is in Nebelhorn (twice) when I should’ve posted it here…

See what I mean.

Good Lord, there are so many threads to bounce back-and-forth between today, I can’t even think straight.

Wow, now Memola is the third ranked Italian man after the short program.

Speaking of Italians, I mean all the women are in the top five, and all the men are in the top five, what is going on in Italy L O L

Congratulations to Jacob being in the top three.

 

[AYS]

Yay for Jacob!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh, so Kevin did Judas by gaga which is what I’ve been saying Alysa should do instead of disease. OK, so Kevin was a fully realized gaga, he just sold me a ticket to her next show.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

What are the odds, the Italian men’s sweep here as well?

 

[Karen-W]

What are the odds, the Italian men’s sweep here as well?

Not nonexistent but not great given Kevin's got a decent lead, Matteo's struggled in the FS this season, and Jacob's there in the mix.

 

[Karen-W]

I've got the FS on because it's the last event of the day and we're only 8 guys in and already on our 2nd Matrix program of the event. Not forgetting we already had the Taschlers Matrix FD less than 2 hours ago...

 

[PRlady]

Those were some pretty forgettable guys. I wrote emails most of the last hour.

 

[Karen-W]

I caught up on other stuff as well, lol.

 

[Debbie S]

Back for the last 2 groups...I ate lunch and went food shopping after the FD.

Did Tomas use this music for his SP last year?

 

[PRlady]

Sabate made me laugh out loud, nice cheesy Sat Night Fever program. I liked him in Boston, he’s a ham.

 

[Karen-W]

Love the Slovakian audience cheering wildly for Adam!

 

[HaNguyen]

Oh, Memola. This is not good.

 

[PRlady]

Oh, Memola. This is not good.

He’s trying to do an Ilia-difficult program and I respect that, but only Ilia is Ilia. He should try for three quads and 2 3As and go clean.

 

[jlai]

He’s trying to do an Ilia-difficult program and I respect that, but only Ilia is Ilia. He should try for three quads and 2 3As and go clean.

He is arguably the top two Italian and can afford to experiment with layout as long as he delivers later this season

 

[tony]

He is arguably the top two Italian and can afford to experiment with layout as long as he delivers later this season

Italy uses a point system throughout the year to determine spots to the Olympics and Worlds. If he falls way behind Rizzo and Grassl (or even Frangipani), then no, there's no affording experimenting.

Also- his PCS are back to being trash. I really don't think judging panels know what to do with him and opinions vary greatly from event to event.

 

[victorskid]

Those were some pretty forgettable guys. I wrote emails most of the last hour.

Not having purchased this stream, I've been enjoying the Exhibition in Oberstdorf while checking on the scores here from time to time. It's intermission time there now.

 

[PRlady]

And Matteo outscores him by 30 points with a less ambitious but clean program. Tony’s right.
