The lashes and the lipstick

That outfit

Love love love the music though.

[alchemy void]

Why would he pick THIS music for an Olympics program?

Didn't Sakhanovich skate to this as a junior?

 

[Jeschke]

Love love love the music though.

Why would he pick THIS music for an Olympics program?

Dying.

 

[alchemy void]

Johnny does not benefit from skating after Chan AT ALL. Yikes.

 

[casken]

That's my least favorite sp Weir has ever done by far, but it was pristine and polished as hell.

I would have it behind all three Japanese guys though.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Why would he pick THIS music for an Olympics program?

This would, however, be great background music for Angela Lansbury's Positive Moves VHS.

 

[Colonel Green]

I feel like Johnny should focus on his true passion, commentating, in the future.

 

[SmallFairy]

There’s something lacking in this program, after all the great stuff we’ve seen. I’d have it way down if I were judging... Sorry Johnny.

 

[Jeschke]

Weir was the skater (with Joubert) losing most places by FSU panel (4) and was amongst exclusive 5 scoring lower than with original panel, both in TES ans PCS.

 

[alchemy void]

sorry but the Russian is so pretentious

 

[Vagabond]

Why would he pick THIS music for an Olympics program?

Taste and judgment were never his strongest suits.

 

[her grace]

Weir

Johnny also taking his time to get to the starting position

-3z-3t
-3a with excellent landing edge
-3f
-performed with panache

He skated really well here, but it kinda gives me a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none vibe. A good jumper, but no quad. A good basic skater, but not as good as Chan or the Japanese contingent. A good spinner, but not the best here. And not coming in with fed support either. Nothing makes him stand out.

 

[casken]

I thought Weir would beat Lambiel under this panel. I know at the time there was a feeling he should have.

 

[Jeschke]

KvdP and @alchemy void is dying of jealousy for the skeleton!

 

[Hanna]

Johnny's best programs were The Swan and Yunona and Avos.

 

[Colonel Green]

Are Belgians not surnamed "Hendrickx" allowed to skate internationally?

 

[alchemy void]

This would, however, be great background music for Angela Lansbury's Positive Moves VHS.

It's been ages since I've taken a bubble bath. Now I want to.

 

[Jeschke]

Night on bald mountain does only belong to LaKhok, and that's it!

 

[Hanna]

OMG KvdP and the legendary skeleton

 

[Jeschke]

It's been ages since I've taken a bubble bath. Now I want to.

Images in my head trying to find sleep tonight

 

[aftershocks]

Come on! Johnny deserved better than 6th overall in the real results. And he certainly deserved better in FSU scoring. You supposed to judge on the skater's talent, not your dislike of their personality.

 

[rfisher]

My son kept shouting skeletor duing KVPs skate

 

[SmallFairy]

It’s the skeleton! The design is very effective, especially the arms. But man, Kevin is as wooden as ever.

Dislike Of Personality is the secret sixth PCS category.

 

[Jeschke]

Spoiler, he is #4

 

[casken]

I'm at the "ghouly" hands he's throwing up on these jump landings.

Does that count as interpretation?

We may both be hot for Schultheiss, but I totally disagree with you here. He did the elements, but this program was extremely weak in PCS. The basics weren't there, no transitions, no speed, not much performance, very basic choreography. Guys in the lower part of the penultimate group had better programs than this.

And this is coming from someone who adores Weir's Swan and Otonal programs from 2006.

The taste level of those last two programs is just amazingly awful. I don't know whether to be impressed or question my sanity for continuing to follow skating for ten years after this event.
