[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were a couple performances that I thought didn’t go very well that J&T we’re praising.

I miss the days when actually skating to the music meant something.[/quote]

Watch Jason Brown in the men’s short program in a couple of days, and you’ll see the music mean something - a lot![/quote]

Jason Brown is an absolutely gorgeous skater...who unfortunately doesn't have the jumps to compete for a medal at this point. And I honestly  think they made the wrong call sending him instead of that 17 year old kid from this area.

As for the person thinking I meant that NO ONE is able to do this (put together a program with great choreography to the music) - no, that was not what I meant. There are definitely skaters who put it all together - usually the top ones with really great choreographers. But I really feel like the new point system in skating, as well as gymnastics, has made these sports less about grace and more about throwing in every high level trick possible. There was one male skater last night that you could tell had no feel for his music and the choreography didn't go with it at all.

And don't get me started on the point system awarding someone who tries a quad and wipes out higher than someone who lands all their triple  jumps cleanly. There was one at the last Olympics who fell twice and scored higher than a skater with a beautiful clean program.  [/quote]
