2017 CS Finlandia Mens SP

[skylark]

well, an amazing thing is that Adam is a presence personified - he really was able to embrace from where he's going, what he wants to show, how he wants to do it. And it shows now - the confidence, boldness in his skating are very rare to see, this easiness about his persona put out there in programs for display.

and YAY for score!!!, ..... it makes me feel sassy as hell (and I have zero sass )

another thing we have in common, nonameface.

A presence personified. That's exactly what Adam has, and is. He also shows so much more joy in his skating in the last couple of years.

Sad skate, sad "assistant manager" noncostume.

I assume that's a reference to the movie?

 

[auser]

Call me old school, or maybe because it is early and quiet here, but I really enjoyed watching these programs skated to music without vocals

 

[skylark]

It's been doing that every now and then. Wait a moment, refresh, repeat.

got it that time; thank you.

I agree - Adam seems much more at ease on ice in terms of sole presentation lately, and it makes his stuff authentic and more believable.

then - few clubbing sessions with Sassy Divas Ashley and Adam and we would be sassy all right!

I don't mind vocals at all. I just wish most of them weren't Buble.

That's close to what I used to describe Patrick Chan's costumes a few seasons ago.

I thought Kevin's music was excellent. Not surprised to see it's from Whiplash. Good choice.
Kolyada's on a roll this season.

Adam was so good. Glad to see a program with clean triples score higher than a program with unclean quads. Hopefully he will get his quad (or two) back and land them in competition. I applaud his choice of costume (compared to last year's).

Hi guys!
I just woke up.
So sad that I slept through sweet baby Boyang. :sad4: How did he do?

I could live with more Buble this season if it meant I heard less of that Moulin Rouge Roxanne vocal. Your mileage might vary of course

He was great, with one mistake-fall on the quad T

I am partial to Ewan's dulcet tones but even I could hear less of Roxanne too.

Judging seems to be on a cautious side here - are they preparing for new rules?

 

[MaiKatze]

I adore the Soundtrack of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And I really like Boyang. But I'm not very fond of that program. This great soundtrack has a few possibilities and....the movie is a very romantic movie at heart. I just don't see that in Boyang's program. The way it is now, even if he lands his jumps, I think it is a step backwards, compared to Spider Man. I'm strangely disappointed.

 

[silverfoxes]

The judging is fine here. No ridiculous overscoring like Lombardia Trophy.

[kevinVchicago]

The music during the replay is going haywire LOL

 

[snowflake]

Kudos to Valtter going for the quad. Has he done it in competition in any competition?

Now the stream is going a bit crazy... nice flag...

wait for the ladies. Men and pairs scoring at Lombardia where OK too
