Like the Novice ladies free, a lot of these "programs" were crossovers between elements. Some of the boys remembered there was an audience there, some did not. The short program is more fun.The number after their name is the final placement, if that differed from their place in the free, I have the freeskate placement right after it.

2x-2t. 3z. camel recentered. 3flip (fall). 3sal (swingy).3loop (spiraled in 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.

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.

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.
