Oh huge thanks!!!!! I missed liking posts!!:hap93:If you scroll down to the bottom of the mobile app, there's an option to switch to the desktop version. It works on a phone - I'm using it now.
Word from someone who called the home inflation in SA and SC: we were proven right. CoR inflated EVERYONE, not just the locals. Otherwise there would be at least two russian men ready to take a medal .
Thank Gawd I missed the Mens SP if Max is literally 25 POINTS away from the leader. I don't think I ever seen a point spread that big between 2 World Team Members.
With whom was Max on a World Team? He was the only American there.
Personal impressions: Bychenko was my fav, Javi's new costume is nowhere near as good as his old one, and Stephane Lambiel is one of the most classically good-looking men I've ever seen.
On the topic of inflation: even the B. ESP commenators were flabbergasted by Shoma's score, and they're the ones who are unabashed fans. That says a lot.

I don't know what it is about him. He has such a wonderful, kind look in his eyes. He just looks like he is a sweet man. I know looks can be deceiving...but there is a mixture of sexiness and vulnerability, like wow.
Okay, enough swooning...bad kitty.
So please someone knowledgeable tell me if Shoma' s 4F is jumped immediately from steps?
I didn't get to watch the Rostelecom Cup; after the LAT guy I fell asleep and just saw the results. I have to say I am kinda expecting the results except for the fact that Max Aaron just got 8th place. What happened to him? I don't know why but I always feel "disconnected" when Uno does his skating --I even like Kolyada's skating more. But for some reason (technically maybe) judges and people love his programs. I just hope that Javier can claim this Rostelecom Cup again.
"From Moria, With whom was max on a World Team? He was the only American there."
That didn't sound right did it. What I was trying to say was that Max is on the US World Team and I was shocked to see him score so far below the Javi and Shoma who are members their countries World Teams. I hope that made sense. Please note, that I have not seen, and probably won't watch Max's program until after that free skate. I'm a wuss..
According both Italian Esp Commentators, it isn't and his 4F should have been a -3 across the board considering no steps + hands down + overall quality of the jump.
judges never really punish for no steps before solo jump in sp, the only time I remember this was Amodio getting almost -3 on totally clean quad for no steps, rare moment when he landed it and he was punished for no steps
