Michael Christian Martinez. The costume. Honey.

Hey, at least you know exactly what music he's skating to. And let's be real, it's far from the worst R&J costume we've seen

...and I like the bodice. Not the sleeves, but the bodice it nice

I was at the men's practice this morning and was very worried about Javi. He talked with Brian at the boards for a long time and skated his run-through without jumps and still in his jacket. At the end of the practice he took his jacket off and tried a few jumps, falling out of some and barely landing a few others. It didn't look good, but he's the world champion and I'm sure he will give it his best try.

I'm so jealous that coffee works to keep you awake.... So far nothing I've tried works.:sad21:

Started out strong, but the mistakes are creeping in

Nice 3 jump pass, nice axel, seems to have recovered

Michael Christian Martinez has some nice moves and is impressively flexible (fantastic spins), but needs more speed. (He looks really slow in person.)

Could be worse, we have seen worse. Lol. Yes, the bodice is not awful. Those sleeves though.

Anyone know when/which groups will BESP show?

BESP aren't showing any live (it's 5 to midnight here), but the BBC have a live stream both on the red button and online, although I think you'll need a proxy to view it from outside the UK.

ETA: The link to the BBC stream in case anyone wants it. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/winter-sports/35834719

Thank you for your report, even if it's bad news.

Ah thank you for this info! Bad news though, I really love their commentary.
