on landing).3s (fall). 2f? 2x fall. fall. fall - no kidding - the kid just
couldn't scramble back up - and right in front of the judges. I was very sad
for him.Charlie is an excellent skater. His blade control is good and he jumps
well. I think he just pooped out towards the end here. It was a good effort.

Wearing a copy of Yagudin's "Winter" shirt. 3f-2t. good eye contact.
He knows we are watching and he is glad. 3 lp. death drop. 3s-2t. VERY cool
Choreography. My program is away from me, but I know that Steven Cousins and
Doug Leigh are involved in his team. Kudos for two really COOL programs. He
seemed more comfortable with this program than the short.3t (swing out). Spread
eagle into 2x.
William Brewster - 6 (8)
My Favorite skater of the evening. He is doing amazing stuff betwwen the elements.
Great use of edges and blades. NEVER resorted to crossovers.I just enjoyed
watching his skating so much.This is a kid who looks like he has been doing
figures. Major snaps to his team. His jumps didn't work for him this evening,
but I refuse to go into detail.Its my web site. I can do what I want. And
I don't have a personal interest here - Don't know the kid, the parents, the
coaches. Nothing. Never saw him before the short program. He is the Gig Suruno
of the event so far.
Daniel Eison - 10 (11)
3-2 ? 2x (step out). 3s. great footwork.3t (fall and tumble). Considering
he had just finished competing pairs with his sister this was a noble effort
here. clearly out of lactic acid at the end.
