These pants on Britschgi are really something.

Eek, not sure it’s helpful to have the announcer say Max was coached by his parents during the intro comments.

Needs to be deleted from his ISU bio first because they usually just read from that.

 

[Private Citizen]

Max landed the 4S but then caught an edge and fell.

Torgashev seems to be struggling.

Britschgi landing things.

 

[peibeck]

Are "The Blues" a French hockey team? So many have "Allez les Bleus" shirts on in the audience.

 

[TAHbKA]

'I am so much bigger than..' from a 1.60 guy is a promising start

 

[Wyliefan]

That was an ... interesting combination from Torgy!

 

[thvu]

I’m still processing the shockwave we just witnessed in ice dance.

 

[tony]

I loveee Torgashev's skating but there's a whole lot of jump prep going on. At least 8+ seconds for the quads and even the Axel has a really big break.

This is more or less what Adam has been trying to do as far as interpretation in his programs. Such nice use of his entire body and really obvious changes of pace. Pretty cool and modern, maybe not the best vehicle to show off just how good his skating skills are, though.

 

[honey]

Pretty solid from Torgashev. But good lord, I cannot imagine listening to this music every day in training.

 

[Private Citizen]

Good job, Torgashev! He won’t be last with that. Love how he lets loose in the choreography sequence. Should be +5

 

[Hedwig]

Torgashev is really more enjoyable than 70% of all skaters when he is on!

 

[her grace]

Torgashev

4t, 4t-1t (sorta), 3a, he’s already landed more big jumps than I expected, not a lot of musical engagement, 3a-2a, 3z-1r-3s. Lively step sequence, Good redemption skate

 

[jlai]

Torgy did pretty well for a first man out

Really strong skate for Andrew. The program is weird, and the two pieces of music don't really seem to connect, but he commits to the performance so it's an entertaining watch.

161.84 = 1st Place
233.36 = 1st Place

 

[Skaterbob]

Pretty solid from Torgashev. But good lord, I cannot imagine listening to this music every day in training.

Yea that would be a little rough. haha

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Andrew so devistated yesterday. I guess he still cares to come back to like this.

 

[TAHbKA]

It's almost like when Pluschenko was skating all the Russian guys had to put super fast footwork into their programmes now with Chen and Malinin all the USA guys have to finish their programmes with fast music and weird moves. Torgashev made plenty but seriously had he just glided it would be more beautiful. His skating skills are to die for, his choreography is so bland

 

[peibeck]

Torgy skating out of his skin, but egads this music is dreadful.

 

[Firedancer]

Great comeback for Torgashev!

 

[tony]

Brandon is quickly approaching Joanne McLeod levels of DUH discussion. He states the obvious.

 

[Hedwig]

prrrrr, can you STOP CHEWING GUM in the KNC please????

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Needs to be deleted from his ISU bio first because they usually just read from that.

Maybe he wants to honour his parents by keeping their names in his bio?

 

[tony]

Maybe he wants to honour his parents by keeping their names in his bio?

Could be, but the "he used to be coached by his parents" sounds more like they are just reading from it rather than him writing it.

 

[TAHbKA]

Frangipani should ermmm... not wear red pants under the costume. They are a bit too visible

 

[tony]

4T landed short and cross-footed. Probably << and gonna come away with very minimal points.

Still the long shot for ever getting up into the top level of Italian skating, and that technique of flinging himself into the Axel and Sal isn't helping. He still has a charisma about him but Candeloro he is not. Except for crazy jump technique I guess.

 

[Wyliefan]

prrrrr, can you STOP CHEWING GUM in the KNC please????

Pfft. Gum-chewing Podium Queen Sasha Cohen scoffs at mere K&C gum-chewing.
