2015 Rostelecom Cup Mens SP

[StitchMonkey]

I was not really impressed by Fernandez and Voronov. Pitkeev and Miner were best for me. I'm so happy for Miner, he was fantastic! He left best impression on me Does he have quad?
I don't really like men discipline that much, but I enjoyed it today. The public was awesome too, very supportive to all skates.

He attempts quads... not sure how much success he has.

Sorry, I thought you meant Adam. Yes, for Nam I think it was supposed to be a 4/3.

That comment was about Nam.

Thank you for sharing your impressions with us, Snow63! Enjoy the competition!

Ok, Javi was sexy, but were there any difficult steps and transitions to merit that PCS?

 

[Violet Bliss]

Javi got two 10.....

Where did you get that info? Protocol not up yet.

 

[Poice]

I love Adian...but I guess judge who gave him 9 in SS was just trolling us.

Kolyada was interesting to watch. The boy with rose cheeks is not polished and the first jumping pass with a fall was meh,
but he reminds me of Verner in many aspects; costume, choreography, personality. :luv17:

 

[Snow63]

Javi got two 10.....

I'm sorry, but this Iis ridiculous. Judges held him up, to make up for poor technical score. It was not that good, at least today.

Ah, that girl that I have spotted in the audience every year wearing a Marc Marquez fleece is back supporting Javi again this year.

2013
2014
2015 (didn't have time to take a screenshot, so it's the video)

But, her hair's a lighter colour now. And she has ditched the Marquez fleece in favour of a plainer red and cream fleece.

Maybe she was disgusted with Marquez's carry on in the last few MotoGP races of this year as well...

EDIT: Just watched it in slow motion. It is a Marquez fleece, but just a different one.

They're up.

I think what brings his PCS up as high is more his CH PE and IN

 

[TMC]

He performed better over-all at COC that's for sure. And people use Patrick Chan as a high water mark for PCS...but I think even Pat's or Yuzu's PCS are too high when the mess up and still get 44...and I feel the same way about Javi.
Though I love all their skating.
That's what is meant by judges needing to differentiate the PCS scores more.

Ahh I'm glad you got that I was comparing his CoC performance to this one - I forgot it and edited my post after you quoted it!

Yeah I always feel like a performance has to be pretty much pristine to get 44-45...

You're so funny! Thanks for bringing the fun stuff here.

Though I must say the facial hair looks good on Javi.

I would go on suave overload if there will be more that facial hair...I'm not sure if would be able to watch the whole thing with heavier facial hair on Javier...

 

[Snow63]

It's time for some pizza ))

 

[qwertyskates]

I think other than the fact that it's a sexy Spanish themed performance, I'm finding the choreography not as intricate as his SP last year.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Since when did Adian start doing 4t-3t? I love his SP as much as anyone's this year but I don't remember him doing a quad combo :hap85:

 

[paperhearts]

Congrats to all the men!

 

[TMC]

Am I the only one who noticed Javi was pretty distracted until after the 3A towards the final spin?

No you aren't, he did look a bit lost.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Judge #1 loves Javi way more than Judge #2. Luckily the system makes outliers irrelevant regardless of degrees of deviation.
