Ya know, last time VW gave a snake on a costume for a music called firebird. Would the LP costume this time be literal and we get an actual dancer/ballet set?

Or since there is a "Rite of Spring" section in the music itself, we can get...literal and have flowing green frond bits floating about?

I guess that is some...substitute for bling.

 

Woke at 4.30 and watched on a lagging stream, no sound, couldn't follow what you were saying on here as well.  Vera Wang eh?  You can certainly see why it took so long to be unveiled - well worth waiting for.  Glad I couldn't hear the US hype - sorry - commentary.

Flowers in his hair. Or could have if he hadn't gone and got rid of most of his hair.

...that might have been a plan and could explain why he got rid of his hair.

 

Edit: we're getting a tad snarky, no?

Nah, I was thinking/dreading it would be more like that polynesian/tribal thing they had for one of the ice dance teams at 2010? You know, with a little leaves tutu/skirt thing.

Possibly. But after all that hype about the unveiling of the brand new Vera Wang costume, to get this? I'm not sorry about being snarky. *grumps*

Why , Nathan , why , the striking difference.  

 

 

oh my, us nats has become really ridiculous ... and lol @ Johnny for calling out Jason's UR but then when re-viewing Nathan he was like 'oh, that was a ..... tight landing but under a quarter turn, so no UR' when it was just as UR as Jason's jump.... 

 

I'm kind of so sick of this 'Nathan is the greatest' theme, when he had a UR and a step out in the SP, that I don't even get annoyed anymore...  

 

And I just can't with Vincent's jumps, half of them are regularly UR AND he has some pre-rotation on them (though not as much as Shoma). 

 

Even though I'm not really a fan of Max's skating, he had the cleanest quads in terms of rotation today. 4toe and 4sal may have been two-footed and stepped out, but he didn't UR them and he didn't pre-rotate them. 

 

Adam was nice though and I'm glad he sticked to what he can do

 

Did Jason fall out of grace with Johnny and Tara? They criticized him for not having a quad to rely on, but then brought Grant and Adam as an example of skaters having a quad, lollolol. I'd argue, that both Grant and Adam are not more consistent with their quads then Jason (maybe Grant a little bit more, but Adam definitely doesn't really have that 4lutz... he may land it one time out of 50 tries) 

Moving away from the costume, this article confirms Nathan was indeed sick after the GPF, not being able to train normally for two weeks.
