That's the best thing he's done in years. Good for him.

Well then, I enjoyed that!

He is 7th and there's the FS to go. 0.18 behind the Ukrainian. He is very much in that fight but what is more troubling is that he didn't seem in that good a shape. Ah well.

I don't know if his going to add a 4Lo tomorrow but if he does and land it perfectly he might have a chance

Never heard of this 27 yo American skater Johnson but I like him. The maturity contrasts with the young Donovan.

See if you can find on youtube his FS to the Beatles from a few years back. Gorgeous, gorgeous program.

Good marks for good work, Alex.

Great job Alex - I like his take on Shoma's "techno harmonicas."

Funny that Jorick skated first and is in first place, and then Alex was the final skater who scored second!

That is the performance. Shame there isn't a version without overlaid commentary. Thanks for posting the link.

It's always great when a comp ends on a high note and a pleased skater.

Also: Thank you sequinsgalore!

 

[xeyra]

Good job guys. It'll be nail biting in the FS tomorrow, though.

Yes because the musical arrangement is gorgeous. And skaters like Boe should be sat down and made to watch it so they can see how important it is not to just flail your arms around willy nilly and think you're being "artistic" and "musical."

havent watched everyone but have to say soo happy for Alex!! :hap57: he is one of my favourite US men, 1st time i saw him was at Nebelhorn at 2014 where he skated to Sweeny Todd and dyed his hair to white, he is just brilliant :luv17: someone give him GP spot please :luv17:

 

[GGFan]

Could not watch live but loved Alex's skate. What gorgeous lines! His camel alone blew me away. So did his edges, landing positions, musicality, and footwork.
