I'd be a Lady Gaga medley person if Johnny Weir were still skating :(


edit: also apropos of nothing but melodicwaffle your av makes me want someone to do a Jojo OP skate routine. But it would need someone as fabulous as Johnny to do it, I don't think Evgenia would be enough

I hope he does well in the men's competition later on.

How does he score less than someone who botched two jumps? That's lovely.

He was set to do a quad lutz, guess he decided on a triple instead.

i want to be cynical and call this cliche there but the half-second he was in the air doing that quad and came down right in time with the music was perfect

Seriously i saw the Russian fall twice and changed the channel, coming back once the Italian started to watch him and Adam, and he is still in first wtf???

You know, I had this devil's advocate argument all set up about how quads are insanely hard to pull off, like you see how much speed and power you need to do all those rotations in the air?? So of course they still count for more technically compared to triples, even if you don't land cleanly

but I changed my mind about 18 seconds ago when I saw Rippon's flawless performance still placed under Kolyada

doesn't falling just get you points off execution, not the technical score unless you gently caress a triple to a double or quad to a triple?
