2015 World Junior Championships Mens Free Skate March 7

Boyang, you are my hero

 

[chezzu]

Shoma was really, really, really, really, really lucky that his first jump was called as a 3T<< instead of a 2T. Wow!

 

[Jammers]

I predict a Russian will be on the podium next year and his name will be Andrew Torgashev.

 

[Mrs. P]

Drat we missed three spots by one placement! But pretty awesome that both Nathan and Andrew finished in the top 6 in the FS.

 

[Interspectator]

Congratulations Sota!

I am a big fan of Shoma, but I am not 100% sure if he deserved to win... :confused2:

Yes. Boyang did wonderfully today.

But he won the FS. And got a SB too. If he is steadier next year and tries to improve is SS more he'll get a PCS boost.

 

[Sjs5572]

I am thrilled with judging in this comp. The last group wasn't held up with PCS. USA just missed three spots for next year....not a bad showing. Also, if Torgashev remains healthy he will be one heck of a star....third highest PCS of the night at age 13!

 

[burntBREAD]

Oh, wow, looks like Shoma didn't Zayak because he barely eked out enough rotation on his pop to make it enough for 3T<<.. If not then he would've lost the title!

 

[Interspectator]

A awkward shaking of hands from this asian podium. hehehe.

I think somahin

The U.S. placed third in terms of country placement, though, so they'll receive max JGP spots next season.

True dat cause we got 2 Japanese guys on the podium and one Chinese. And Nathan Chen in 4th.

 

[Interspectator]

Shoma...smile a bit, please?

 

[Noolan]

Not an unexpected result for Russia, sadly. Pitkeev and Petrov aren't as good as Shoma and Boyang. They could fight Sota, but no luck this time. And I don't care what his scores are, but I love Samarin's skating

 

[WeakAnkles]

In theory, if only he hadn't doubled the 3T yesterday... but in practice, the judges would just give Shoma even more PCS than he already got, giving him the win anyway.


And he wasn't even all that good.

Wooo, spit out those sour grapes please.

 

[satine]

Looking at the scoresheet, there seems to one judge that gives a notable array of scores to skaters. For example, here are the differences between the highest & lowest scores:

boyang jin judge #1- 2.50 points
sota yamamoto judge #2- 2.75
nathan chen #7- 2.00
daniel samohin #6- 2.00
adian pitkeev #1- 3.00

If this is the same judge, it's almost as if.... they are actually scoring them based on their individual skills..... An amazing new concept....

 

[Chemistry66]

Poor Samarin. 6th in one segment, 9th in the other...and 11th overall. Ouch.

 

[Caustica]

Omg Boyang got an underrotation on his 1Lo. LOL

And I didn't see that underrotation on Shoma's second 3A. hmm

 

[Mrs. P]

Nathan actually scored a point higher than he did last year. Yes the placement was lower, but considering his injuries, he didn't do too bad. I wonder if he will move up to seniors...

 

[Interspectator]

I've seen that on paper before...but I always wonder how it's even possible to underrotate a 1lo.

 

[HanDomi]

I thought 2nd 3A was UR for Shoma, it looked like rotation was finished on ice, and I was right
