Black costume, grey armor details, red scarf

One fall on his quad, otherwise solid on the jumps. Still lacking in skating skills/presentation. He looks quite pleased, smiling.

FS: 70.53+66.34-1.00 = 135.87 (PB), 203.42 (PB), 5/14

I like the song version they picked and edited actually. More thought to it than randomly put together like others. Between him and his gf, they make up for more than 50% of Russia skating artistry ;D

Do you ever stop with your silly stereotypes?

Good job Konstantin

I noticed that the first time I saw this program at Nebelhorn. The medley actually makes sense and the transitions between songs aren't jarring, their styles mesh pretty well together.

Happy 3k posts, os168~

 

[Arawen]

Adam´s hair makes his whole outfit a very interesting color combination

It's so hard for you to praise someone without hurling insults at others, isn't it.

 

[OS]

Adam's new season programs are sooo different from what he is used to. It seems finally he is having fun with it. Awaking from a dream from Sargent Adam... hidden meaning behind those lyrics?

 

[Icey]

somehow not so effective

 

[blue_idealist]

That was good!!

Adam RIPPON (USA)

Music: Because (The World is Round) by The Beatles
Get Back by The Beatles
Yesterday by The Beatles
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles

Red shirt, yellow stripes forming cross, black pants

2A - bit forward
3A+1T<< - long setup
FCSp
3Lz - 'Rippon
StSq
3A
3F - stepout
3Lo
3Lz+2T+2Lo
CCoSp3p
ChSq
3S+2T
FCCoSp3p

Slow start, but it got better. Opted out of the 4Lz, probably good idea.
Needs alot more speed in this program, but I think he will medal easily in this field.

FS: 76.79+78.10 = 154.89, 224.18, 2/15

 

[gravy]

My favorite part was the "Get Back" section, but only because I got to hear the song (it's one of my favorites).

Not a fan, I'm afraid...

The costume itself is odd... bright red and bright yellow shirt with the black pants and the blue hair... :no:

 

[blue_idealist]

I don't like the hair though.

 

[SaraM]

wheres raf??

 

[TheGrandSophy]

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:

Perhaps a lot of the skaters are saving their choreography money for later in the quad? It must be so expensive and they might think the year before the Olympics and obviously the Olympic year are a better use for their funds so they budget?

The costume itself is odd... bright red and bright yellow shirt with the black pants and the blue hair... :no:

Yeah...not a good combo. Not sure if I like the program...

Congratulations! ​

[blue_idealist]

Yay Konstantin!!!!

 

[Rissa]

From me Adam gets:

Bonus points for: 1) Hair and generally being the hottest guy in the field 2) having fun 3) spins 4) general looking great while skating because I love his skating

Minus points for: 1) the medely. Unlike Konstantin's, this medley was not well edited 2) Costume. Please Adam, contact a Japanese costume specialist or something. That backside is very tasty of course but it's so on display that it's blinding, the legs looked short, and those golden applications were a travesty, and I generally like gold on red applications.

A mixture between Beatle's Sargent Pepper and Freddie Mercury's red outfit I feel. Wow he won!

Konstantin MENSHOV (RUS)

Music: Mad World by Gary Jules

That song is sang by Adam Lambert in Menshov's skate.
