Yes, I agree even as a very big fan of Hanyu.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Nothing.. Figure Skating is not a big sport here, so we were wishing that Norwegians would be as interessted in Figure skating as the Finnish!

Ah, okay. I was having wild imaginings of something -scandalous-

Now, is Tim wearing shoulder pads or are his shoulders really that broad?

His shoulders are that broad. His costume designer said he had the biggest shoulders he's ever worked with.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Solid skate for Tim, but I didn't find the program terribly interesting. He took a lot of time to set up for several of his jumps, which distracted from the program. His last spin was really well-timed to the music - great ending!

Nice spins, but I could barely keep my eyes open during the rest.

So many recycled programs this season...not all of them worth recycling, either hwell:

 

[gravy]

I loved that choreographic sequence with the inside to outside spread eagle with the arms to the music (PAUL WYLIE WOULD BE PROUD), into the spiral, and then into the Ina Bauer. I really liked it.

Speaking of Firus and his recycled Moulin Rouge... Ashley please get a new program. You can do Moulin Rouge again but new music cuts. Thx.

Exactly...I guess when they heard "The Show Must Go On," they took it a bit too literally. Hate this music, sorry.

Music: Moulin Rouge (soundtrack) by Craig Armstrong

Grey shirt, red cumberband, black suspenders and pants

StSq - stumble/hand down midway
CCSp
3F
3Lz+1Lo+3S - slow into salchow, foot down, maybe 3S<
3F+1T - forward on flip
2A+3T - stepout

No falls, but lots of bit messy landins - he nods and looks pleased, though

FS: 65.41+70.76 = 136.17 (PB), 200.27 (PB), 2/8

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Another mixed showing - I like his program for Liam, and he has very good skating skills. I just wish he could land his jumps better. They seem fine in the air but he can't check out of them properly somehow. Some of his spins need work as well.

Baz Lurman is this year's Andrew Lloyd Webber... the show must go onnn... and onn....and onnnnnnn... . Zzzzzz

Getting ready to see Majorov and Brezina's splat fest im sorry im mean

 

[blue_idealist]

I actually like the program, and since he didn't do the free at the Olympics or go to Worlds last season, I haven't seen it THAT many times. Granted I didn't watch that many Senior Bs last season.

They're real.

He's learning from his fellow country man, Patrick, I guess to recycle programs forever.

P.S. I've never seen Moulin Rouge.

Gotta keep it real... me too. But at least he'll look sexy during it.
