Did he do 4 combos?

Yes

 

[CellarDweller]

AUGH that was almost a Pogo fall

I would always catch my breath when she would skate. The falls always seemed so horrible.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Nice job with the 4Sals and Great Fight, Tacchan!
Hope he didn't injure himself with that fall

 

[4everchan]

oh! a xmas ornament!

Yeah, same. I think they probably really messed up her back.

End lol

You know, this is making me think of the first of 3 times I was in an old ballet school of mine's production of The Nutcracker that actually was around the time Ilia was born. I was a toy soldier and a poonchinella (I definitely spelled that completely wrong). And then I lost one of my picture books at the venue...

 

[4everchan]

sugar plum fairy turned into carol of the bells... xmas is really around the corner

 

[Lamente Ariane]

October is too early for Christmas! Also wasn’t this guy a bad sport at Worlds or am I thinking of someone else

 

[CellarDweller]

oh! a xmas ornament!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

What on earth is this music cut

 

[lileychristie]

Did not expect Sugar Plum Fairy + Carol of the Bells + Andrea & Matteo Bocelli all in the same program

 

[EdgeCall]

I have issues with what they did to poor Tchaikovsky but the skating was quite impressive.

 

[Flying Feijoa]

Back with a snack now.
Vlad Litvintsev: great jumps, half-assed choreo sequence, extremely confusing music cuts???

 

[cheerknithanson]

I blanked out. 86 TES? Okay, I see you.

This is the weirdest Nutcracker I've ever heard. It's a techno epic version, then Carol of the Bells (epic version), followed by a random Bocelli song? Tchaikovsky is rolling in his grave right now.

 

[Axel Rose]

Whenever I hear Nutcracker, I remember that old Sharon, Lois and Bram skit where Bram’s head would suddenly appear and he would sing, “Where are all the swaaans?” in time with the music.

This program has a strange Nutcracker and Josh Groban juxtaposition. I assume it’s Groban. Is it from Polar Express? What happens in March when Christmas is long over?

 

[FlossieH]

That should go well into the lead for the moment.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

The mic just blew a raspberry and I agree with it even if Chris is in love

 

[Jontor]

Great stuff Vladimir! That was determination to get the tech stuff done.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Vladimir livtensev skate decent. Good job.
