[thoakun]

Aww, Pikachu in lavender top

 

[Icey]

what's the biggest deficit (after the short program) someone has made up to medal at worlds?

 

[d6886]

Bravo Misha It was beautiful!

 

[brens78]

Kevin Reynolds has done well with still being in the lead after 3 groups!

 

[OS]

Well, if that is Misha's last SP ever....I think he ended on a lovely note.

Did he say he is going to retire already?! It must be hard for him to continue.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Ge's PCS 39.15???
Please...
Don't get it.

 

[auser]

Both TAT and Grishin say he has great pain in his leg.

Come on Misha, hang in there!

Love watching Misha's skating :luv17: I hope he is not in overwhelming pain

 

[ralucutzagy]

And now a well deserved break because the hardware is coming !!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

OMG, that Pikachu in his short program costume is ADORABLE! Hooray! Misha, great skate!

And now I must head to bed, but how cool, Brendan's still in second place! You go, Brendan!

Good luck to the skaters yet to come, but a special shout-out to Spiderboyang, Yuzu, Javi and Mikhail! Kick butt and take names!

 

[satine]

Did he say he is going to retire already?! It must be hard for him to continue.

He has said it may be his last season. I don't believe he has decided yet.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Why are Ge's PCS so much higher than Vasiljevs'? Can someone educate me? It doesn't seem right.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

This season has the most of unmisha's program, but he desperately tries to raise his PCS so he bowed down to the generic middle of the road let's make it easy for judges type of standard elegant european skating with beautiful european classic music. Where as previous his stuff are more creative, original, adventuous. It will be interesting to see if this pays off.

I am sad he got rid of his Paint It Black program...

 

[carmina]

I swear I have tears in my eyes! Bravo.

TAT told him not to quit, to hold on until the Olympics!

you should always listen TAT

hope he will

 

[karne]

And on that note, I need to go pass out now.

Goodnight, everyone!

Dear Jason, please just skate with all the beauty I know you have...

 

[Yatagarasu]

Did he say he is going to retire already?! It must be hard for him to continue.

Yes, he's been hinting at it for months. He's been injured for quite a while and listening to TAT now, she's been speaking to him in Helsinki, I'd say there's a very good chance, yes. She asked him to hold on until the Olympics but ... not so sure.
I love him but if he's in pain, and he is, then hopefully he skates his best here and can go out with no regrets, if that is indeed his decision. Selfishly, I hope he can heal enough for that one additional season. In any case, it truly has been a pleasure to watch him.

 

[Winnie_20]

Kevin still at the top. Wow. Dream come true!
Starting to get really tired, though. And it's only 4 pm here. Competition days are loooooong....

 

[silverfoxes]

My favorites all qualified so far...sigh of relief...now let's see if the Russian men will deliver

 

[breadstal]

I am sad he got rid of his Paint It Black program...

Ugh, I loved this one

 

[medvedevasocks]

I hope Kolyada really affirms himself the firm #1 Russian here and shows his loss to Kovtun at Europeans was a bit of a fluke. I far prefer the beautiful and original skating of Kolyada to the sloppy and boring skating of Kovtun.
