[tabsy]

Am I the only person on this forum who's watching the senior guys at this competition?

I'm dropping in and out! Would have loved to watch most of it but exam revision calls...looking forward to catching up on Roman and Daniel's skates later

Nope I am too. I think the commentator is getting tired, he is not so nice anymore. Daniels score is #17 on seasons best sp.

He does sound elderly.

He does sound elderly.

What is going to happen with the long program, he'll lose his voice.

:rofl2: I guess we'll have a no commentary livestream for the final group.

I am watching with the sound off atm so I can't hear, but the live comments on the stream suggest he's said a few things...I'm looking forward to watching it back he's had a lot to comment on today, who can blame him...not everyone has the ability to be Ted Barton, Angel of Nice Things To Say, after 50+ skaters in a day, most underperforming....

Apparently he's an ISU official

 

[Jeanie19]

Well he started out really nice, but lately he has been a little snarky.

 

[Jeanie19]

I never saw Mattia or Micah before, but I like them.

 

[tabsy]

Michah seems pleased - I will have to go back and watch

I think he made the Worlds SP TES :agree:

Good luck Tomoki!

 

[Ross74]

Nice job, Tamoki!

Tomoki Hiwatashi (USA): 3A (shaky landing), 3F, 3Lz(!)-3T, good performance. 77.22 PB. 3rd

 

[siberia82]

Hiwatashi is just under 0.7 points behind Sadovsky.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

You rarely see someone jumps 3S-3Lo Klepoch (SVK), the last skater of the SP. Some Eurovision Slovakian song for him :thumbsup: So:
1. Grassl (ITA) 83.42
2. Sadovsky (CAN) 77.91
3. Hiwatashi (USA) 77.22
4. Pulkinen (USA) 71.85
5. Milykin (RUS) 71.44
Commentator: 'The kiss&cry is body language... Its a show. You need to sit there and present yourself'

 

[Jeanie19]

And good night. Well for me it is good afternoon.

 

[siberia82]

The arena was playing a lullaby at the end.

Well they knew it was past the commentator s bedtime.

 

[siberia82]

My screen recording of Tomoki's performance is now on the Video thread.

Well they knew it was past the commentator s bedtime.

He even encouraged the audience to listen the music, so yeah, he definitely seemed eager to call it a night.

 

[sweetice]

With 50+ TES

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Camden had a hand down on the 3A, and the combo didn't look like it had much flow to me.

Roman only got the 2T on the 4S, then a fall. Nice spins as usual. Overall good. I love this program for him.

Credited with 3T on protocols :shocked:

Fell asleep after the ladies, oh Sunghoon... His growth spurt is still causing him problems, it seems.
