Sato's shirt is unsettling.

No, it's been used fairly often by skaters and the voiceover is always there. I just can't think of the others at the moment

The full song:

It's a good song for our times. And his ending pose is signing "unite" which is nice - to end with hope

 

[miffy]

Come on Adam

 

[Karen-W]

Yup, that's about where I thought he'd wind up - fair score - behind Aymoz, ahead of Egadze.

 

[genevieve]

hey French Fed, what is WITH these blouses over partywear, anyway?

 

[Holy Headband]

That was a Pogo splat and a half.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Adam's message should have been "Sorry for screwing up" even before he started skating

 

[Jay42]

I'm pretty sure Chris has pronounced the Siao part of Adam's name differently every time he's said it.

Also Adam's shirt looks like it belongs as part of a program that uses the score for a movie based on a Jane Austen novel.

 

[beckab81]

ouch, that fall looked like it hurt!!!

 

[MacMadame]

I'm pretty sure Chris has pronounced the Siao part of Adam's name differently every time he's said it.

The announcer's pronunciation was interesting as well.

 

[Vagabond]

Pourquoi, Adam? Pourquoi?

 

[beckab81]

So who had Kevin as the top placing Frenchman in the short?

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, dear, Adam! That was a hard fall on the 4z! Errggghhh... Messy 4t+3t to follow up. This should put him behind Cha.

 

[once_upon]

Think Sato just let Aymoz into the last group?

I'm thinking Adam might be too?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I'm pretty sure Chris has pronounced the Siao part of Adam's name differently every time he's said it.

Also Adam's shirt looks like it belongs as part of a program that uses the score for a movie based on a Jane Austen novel.

How is it supposed to be pronounced? Also I can picture Adam as Mr. Darcy.

 

[Matryeshka]

Aymoz hit so the scales must balance. The universe is not ready for two Frenchies in the final group.

 

[itsartemis]

Oh Adam. Another SP meltdown unfortunately. I felt that fall physically.

 

[tony]

Loved loved loved Adam even with the mistakes. Really beautiful glide and ease to the skating, almost lost it on the beginning of the step sequence. Just lovely.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I wish he was doing fewer backflips and more training.

 

[rfisher]

Well that was sloppy. The last few comps I've seen Siao Him Fa just doesn't seem to care anymore. Or something.

 

[miffy]

Adam wants to make an amazing comeback in the free like last year

 

[genevieve]

Adam has not been doing it for me all season, but this SP is a huge improvement over the 2wei one.

I want Star Wars Adam back!

 

[thvu]

Adam is such a beautiful skater. He’s gone from “he’s so cool” to “he’s such an artist”. Typical French jumping mistakes aside, I loved that.

 

[Karen-W]

So who had Kevin as the top placing Frenchman in the short?

Everyone who knows how Adam looked at the Sonja Henie Trophy earlier this month & who also knows that Kevin only skates well in the USA?

 

[peibeck]

Wow, that fall on the 4z was right in front of me. Amazing he got up, he landed more on his back than behind.

Injury, and lack of training time, or did he decide to make things difficult again this year?
