oh no Deniss, if only he didn't muck up the jumps, could have been a great performance

 

[rachno2]

I feel like this music expresses the mood of this entire event. Or maybe of the entire men's discipline. Just incoherent screaming into the void and disco beats

[Pandicorn]

Oh Deniss...

 

[QueenOfTheRoad]

Arghhh, Deniss having a lower TES than Leonova :rofl2:

All group has lower TES than Leonova. You go girl!

 

[Lota]

What is this splatfest[emoji24]

This is the Men's discipline, welcome We have falls, pops, triples-turned-doubles, anything you can think of (except for clean programs)

Seriously though, I hope someone skates remotely cleanly today. Please.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Sergei! Sergei! Sergei!

 

[TT_Fin]

OT: Is there any other Finns here watching men at YLE Areena (or in Tallinn, I think Areena is available there? Is you stream ok? I have internet on my TV and during ladies it was perfect, now it is "shady". I do not know what word is right here, but direct translation from Finnish. It seems to be the same problem also on computer.

Deniss I really want to give him a spot in the "weird programs I somehow love" category with Jun-Hwan. But that will have to wait until IdF, I hope.

 

[karne]

No-one over 200 in this first group.

Dammit Brendan, why couldn't you have got this event?!

 

[Mohacz]

Each time I see Deniss I can see more resemblance to Stephane Lambiel. If I didn't know they are not united by any family ties, I would swear he's Stephane's son

I like his short; that long......no

 

[draqq]

Someone please crack 60 TES :angry2:

 

[auser]

Hey Lambiel sighting scores enough points for me to enjoy this event

 

[Mrs. P]

All group has lower TES than Leonova. You go girl!

And Mae Bernice (61 + 9th in ladies)

And only June Hyong Lee has higher TES than 10th place TES finisher Maria Sotskova (55.41).

 

[LadyB]

The screams for Sergei sounded just as loud as the ones for Shoma!!! The Japanese know a good thing when it comes along :thumbsup:

 

[Mrs. P]

No-one over 200 in this first group.

Dammit Brendan, why couldn't you have got this event?!

Or pretty much the entire men's field at Skate Canada. Last place finisher Roman Sadovsky at 210+ has beat all the men here so far.

 

[Sai Bon]

I've just been to the Italian film festival. Mateo looks very Italian. Why are Italian men so sexy?!!!

 

[karne]

So Zhou's dialled back the quads in the FS, but is going for two 3As, which TBH, is not really reducing his risk factor here.
