That was a struggle. His timing was off on 5 or the 7 jumping passes, and he couldn't get his feet under him.

125.52 = 16th Place
212.79 = 15th Place

Torgs

 

[overedge]

He had beautiful spins and that was nice to see.

 

[Messalina]

Just heartbreaking for Torgy

And for me

 

[Private Citizen]

The tech difference on the screen between Torgy and Adam SHF is nuts.

The tech difference with the guy in last place is nuts.... This could go last in the free .

 

[Aceon6]

Whelp... This is gonna leave the 3rd Olympics spot still wide open for our US men...

I’d put the contenders through the Navy Seals mental test. High scorer goes.

 

[Rukia]

(((@Rukia)))

The skategods giveth and the skategods taketh away.

I got cpom 5th but at what cost

 

[Sarah]

That was just hard to watch.

 

[misskarne]

Oh, dear.

 

[Vagabond]

I told you folks not to give him pizza.

 

[Karen-W]

I got cpom 5th but at what cost

No, don't blame yourself. I was pulling for Torgy too and helped with CarPon, among others today.

 

[LilJen]

Go have a beer with Brandon, Torgy. Beer and pizza. He's so frustrated with himself.

[rfisher]

Does Raf say WTF happened in Russian or English?

 

[Aceon6]

C’mon Stretch!

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Oh man, Andrew. I hate seeing skaters despondent like this.

 

[miffy]

Jason has typically been an excellent risk to take - especially if he’s healthy.

Yes! I’ve lost count of the times haters thought he shouldn’t be sent and then he did pretty damn well

 

[Dave of the North]

Welcome to my nightmare babes

Wait until next year!! Only believe !

 

[overedge]

Who was the non-Raf coach in the KnC with Torgy?

 

[canbelto]

Torgy looks crushed

 

[LilJen]

Does Raf say WTF happened in Russian or English?

Oh yeah, I forgot they both speak Russian. . .

Just because someone upthread was talking about Britschgi's "broccoli hair": Memola's hair reminds me a little bit of Kramer in the shower episode of Seinfeld.

OMG how the hell does 6'4" Memola do anything on ice? If he's ever off axis in a jump it must be a disaster.

 

[slicekw]

When Memola spins, take a good look. He’s got a Dorothy Hamill haircut. It was called “the wedge”.

 

[ilovepaydays]

It’s crazy how tall Memola is and he’s able to do these quads.

 

[floridaice]

Does Raf say WTF happened in Russian or English?

Both, and probably Armenian too

 

[overedge]

Thankyouthankyouthankyou to whoever helped Nikolai move those long arms so beautifully.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Memola brings so much pretty.

 

[beckab81]

When Memola spins, take a good look. He’s got a Dorothy Hamill haircut. It was called “the wedge”.

I don’t like to watch his spins, they’re so slow!

 

[Wyliefan]

Memola broke the tracker.

Kind of, but Dorothy didn't have those curls!

 

[victorskid]

Who was the non-Raf coach in the KnC with Torgy?

Brandon Frazier

 

[Colonel Green]

I appreciate him skating to a female vocalist, which a lot of male skaters seem unwilling to do.
