(( Adam's feet ))

 

[tony]

Brand new skates for Adam 72 hours ago? SOS.

 

[beckab81]

Yikes, Adam's skating in new skates, I'm afraid!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Whoever painted Adam's shirt, has never seen a man's back.

 

[tony]

By the way, if Jason Brown is not in the top 2 it doesn't matter how any other result pans out - Daniel Grassl is in the Grand Prix Final.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

"Deniss represents Latvia, and his hobbies are looking at himself in the mirror and thinking Big Thoughts"

 

[floridaice]

Props to Deniss for using Roy

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Is this program dedicated to Lambiel?

 

[tony]

Fall, whatever. I thought that was charming.

 

[misskarne]

Welp, that was one of the more unusual falls I've ever seen

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Toepick!

[Citlali]

Me: Oh Deniss is doing pretty good
Deniss: Splat on nothing
Me:

 

[peibeck]

What a freaky fall from Denis. He's had the most unlucky season. Sigh.

 

[misskarne]

Oh jeez, that's a big UR on the 3A.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Vassiliev's is coached by n/a.
I'm happy isu site didn't crash at least.

 

[MacMadame]

Toe pick!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That's not half the salcow it used to be.

 

[MsZem]

Why would someone deliberately go out and pick Michael Bolton's version of Yesterday?

I am perplexed.

 

[misskarne]

Well this from Yamamoto went south unexpectedly.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

And yes, it's indeed something wrong on the axel. Sota is really skating to the music, isn't he.

That said, the elevator in which he found this version should be crashed into the ground.

 

[Sally1214]

Why would someone deliberately go out and pick Michael Bolton's version of Yesterday?

I am perplexed.

Because they like it??

 

[Debbie S]

Paul McCartney covers need to be banned.

 

[Citlali]

I blame all mistakes in this SP to this godawful version of Yesterday

 

[peibeck]

Sota not making a case for an Olympic spot either.

 

[skatingguy]

Sota Yamamoto
Coach: Machiko Yamada, Yuko Hongo, Soshi Tanaka
Music: Yesterday by Michael Bolton

4T+3T
3S
Flying Camel Spin 4
3A< - step out
Change Foot Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Strong start to the program, but then tripled the intended quadruple Salchow, and lost focus on the Axel.

81.09 = 4th Place

 

[beckab81]

I love how Mark gets excited over difficult steps & skating skills

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Michael Bolton's version of Yesterday minds me of when I visited the former Soviet Union in 1990 and the house bands at restaurants all performed horrendous covers of the song.

 

[tony]

I love how Mark gets excited over difficult steps & skating skills

And actually explains the exact steps that make them so difficult!

 

[Spikefan]

May Kazuki and Kao skate lights out at Japanese Nationals. I don’t want to see this short at the Olympics.
