"I qualified for the free skate!"

 

[YourBorneo]

40 for PCS? GTFO

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Wow, Cha has gorgeous skating, doesn't he

 

[Jammers]

I would have given 90 for that.

 

[Lanie]

Good Andrew! Happy for him even if I prefer Max by a long shot over Andrew and Ilia

 

[Hedwig]

Without the 1t, I think the triple would have counted as +COMBO, so 70% (?) of base value. With the 1t, he at least gets full credit for the triple, even though he gets nothing for the 1t.

Or at least I think that's how it goes.

that is correct

Torgashev did very well. I never know what to expect from him, so therefore usually have NO expectations at all. He looks so happy in the K/C. Good for him.

He and Gogolev are tied in marks .... so the TES breaks the tie, right?

 

[floridaice]

Good Torgy came to play!

Now will we get good Junhwan?

I would love to see Andrew try ice dancing once his jumping days are over.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Oh, wow.
I don't remember Cha being so amazing.
That was some incredible skating.

Joubert could only dream of having Torg's skating skills.

Aww poor Brian. Although you just reminded me of him in the K&C at his third failed Olympics saying 'The F***ing Olympics'

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Clean Junhwan

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Cha flipping the script and being WAY BETTER than the team event.

 

[MsZem]

Joubert could only dream of having Torg's skating skills.

But Joubert in his prime was prettier. And a much more charismatic performer.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Now will we get good Junhwan?

Yes!

 

[Wyliefan]

Wow!

 

[Augusztus]

Beautiful by Cha!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

But Joubert in his prime was prettier. And a much more charismatic performer.

Plus, Torgy is not iconic enough to bring us "death in my soul"

 

[Habs]

Cha’s skating is a dream.

 

[Kateri]

JUNHWANNN!!! GIVE HIM ALL THE POINTS!!!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

A standing ovation to Cha from me and skatak.

 

[Private Citizen]

Cha hit today! Love the program, love the spins and footwork, jumps looked clan as a whistle for me. Should be at least mid-90s

 

[MacMadame]

He and Gogolev are tied in marks .... so the TES breaks the tie, right?

People keep saying this but the tracker has Torgy ahead by 1.54 points. So I am confused.

 

[Karen-W]

And Cha skates better today than he did in the TE!!!!! I love the absolute commitment he has in this step sequence! That was brilliant today!

I'm so over RIYBE, but that was lovely

 

[Hedwig]

That was amazing!!! So glad he saved that skate for now.
