Men's SP

[her grace]

Kuperman

3a fall, 3f, 3z-3t handled, energetic step sequence, nice combo spin to end

ETA giving good face in a close-up on replay, nice to see a skater really engaging with their program

 

[Sally1214]

I liked Tamir's program but that pesky axel got him (like so many others). My favorite costume of the skaters I've seen. Nice shirt.

 

[fan]

Kuperman looks like a young Jeff buttle

 

[Sally1214]

Yes, there are most definitely audio problems. Ted cutting in and out all of the time during the K/C segments. And even more often than that.

 

[Sally1214]

Kuperman looks like a young Jeff buttle

Yes, I can definitely see the resemblance.

 

[her grace]

Vaclavik

3a hand down then fell, 3f didn’t check rotation and foot down, 3z-3t got it!, good interpretation and basics, level 4 on his step sequence, great height on his jumps but out of control today

 

[Sally1214]

Okay, it's time for a clean skate. Can Lee do it? Best of luck to him.

 

[her grace]

Lee

3a, 3f held, good speed across the ice, 3z-3t, nice and clean

I think I liked Choi a bit better. Korea having a great day

 

[Sally1214]

Way to go, Lee! Clean skate we were looking for. Very good indeed.

 

[Sally1214]

So, what are the green chunks of something on the table in the K/C? Just green glass? No way I'm believeing they are emeralds!!

[Hedwig]

ONly Ted can completely mispronounce Nakata...

 

[her grace]

Nakamura

Big 3a, 3z-3t with efficient rotation, could use more swagger at beginning of program, 3f, excellent basics, skating with freedom through steps, neat spins

New leader!

 

[Wyliefan]

He was on!

 

[Hedwig]

Backstreet boys really not my music but he made me like it!

 

[Sally1214]

Loved that by Nakamura. He brought both the technical skills and the attitude needed for the Backstreet Boys. Well done.

 

[victorskid]

So, what are the green chunks of something on the table in the K/C? Just green glass? No way I'm believeing they are emeralds!!

Perhaps they are some "rare minerals"

 

[floridaice]

Backstreet boys really not my music but he made me like it!

Better than Jacob's music

 

[Wyliefan]

Great job, Jacob!

 

[her grace]

Sanchez

3a, 3f good, nice stretched-out camel position, good timing to the music, 3z-3t, he’s all smiles today

 

[Karen-W]

Woke up in time again to see Jacob absolutely KILL it! That was probably the best SP he's had all season!

 

[Sally1214]

YAY!! That was SO well done by Jacob. He skates like a senior ... well, I guess he HAS. Happy K/C for him today.

 

[Wyliefan]

Jacob takes the lead thanks to PCS.

 

[Karen-W]

Dangit! I knew Ted had jinxed the rest of this group when he started talking about the men bringing it today. Really jerk move of him, lol, to cause Yanhao's fall on the 3a.

 

[floridaice]

3A fall aside, I can see the improvement in Li's skating and performance. I just love him.

 

[her grace]

Li

3a fall, 3f good recovery, 3z-3t with some ice flying, not quite the level we’re used to from him

 

[Hedwig]

I love the SP from Yanhao Li so much, I was sad the whole time that this is probably the last time I will see it live!

 

[Sally1214]

Ahhhh ... if ONLY he hadn't missed the axel. Otherwise, a very competent skate by Li. I've never seen him before but was impressed by what I saw today.

 

[Sally1214]

Ted already throwing out all kinds of jinx-vibes by announcing Seo as last year's jr. world champ. Skate well, Seo.

 

[floridaice]

Now for the required skate to Moonlight Sonata
