November 24th
Men
Long Program
Group 1:
I missed most of it due to the press conference of the ladies
and the pairs sorry.
I only saw Ryan who had a great skate, and the japanese guy falling
apart.
Group 2:
1. Serov - RUS
He is another boring russian skater.
He only landed 3a-2t, 3flip, 3 salchow, 3 toe and 3 lutz.
All his other elements were of good quality, but not performed
well. I would have given him a 5.2 in presentation
I was falling asleep during his skate.
2. Restencourt - FRA
He was off from the beginning and landed only 3 clean triples
: 2 3a, one in combination with a 2 toe, and a 3 salchow.
I didn't like this program and he was held up big deal. Should
have been ahead of Monnier...
3. Monnier - FRA
Gabi did land 3toe, 3a, two footed the second 3a (with a fall
after that), 3 flip, 3salchow-2toe (masked the 2feet on landing),
and fell on the loop, singled the lutz. His spins were really
nice and original.
His choreography and speed were way better than Vincent or Serov,
so I wondered what the judges missed there. I would have given
him 5.6 at least in presentation.
The judges came in later to apologize to him, since he should
have been third in the free skate. He was not mad about it, but
was affected a lot.
4. Yagudin - RUS
There was gain him, and the others. He rocked the place again,
and was really in top form.
He did land everything, slightly turning on the quad combo, with
this wonderful quality to his skating.
I can't say more than I loved it.
5. Jeannette - FRA
Skating after Yags was probably nerves racking.
he started with 3toe (planned 4), fell on 3axel, then doubled
the flip. He recovered well, fighting to put the triple axel,
after he again singled it, then landed 3 lutz, loop, 3salchow-2toe,
and 3 toe which should have been in combination. His spins were
awsome as usual.
It was a really good results for him and I was so happy :) Ask
Véronique Delobel or her sister who were next to me:)
I talked to him and he was over the moon.
6. Danilchenko - UKR
BORIIIIING ! What on earth was he doing ? I can't
remember. I couldn't stand his skating so I passed his skate,
and really noone liked him at all.
