2019 Four Continents Men's Free Skate

[WeakAnkles]

probably the only guy who won't get reviews, lol. He's really come a long way in SS and presentation. Man, if only the upper body movement/carriage was a bit better.

That's the Chinese way. Get the tech first. Then the artistry. It's a formula that really works for them.

And yes, Boyang is on schedule...

Even with a GPF medal his PCS didn't really rise...

It went up like, a point from there, lol. Small fed; it's going to take more time. The gift some other skaters are getting though...

I wanted Keegan on the podium...oh well...at least the whole group skated well! Congrats to them all!

 

[gonewiththewind25]

Yessss!!! Silver for Boyang

 

[Skatingcat]

Really good for Boyang, but I was hoping that Vincent would squeak by and get the silver.

But what an amazing last group. Definitely, as someone already said, the antithesis of Euros.

Shoma has finally broken his silver curse!

 

[Danny T]

Keegan was robbed of a medal ... Too bad he's only ex-US skater

 

[BillNeal]

Judging aside, the final group did pretty spectacularly!

 

[Noxchild]

Yay, silver! Congrats!

 

[yude]

Welcome back, Boyang!!

Congratulations to all medalists

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh, silver! Good for him.

Well Uno Shoma is finally a gold medalist for once, Vincent Zhou is on podium, and I'm happy to be just breathing normally again.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That's a really frustrating outcome - If URs/DGs and PCS were judged appropriately, Vincent would certainly be behind Keegan (as well as possibly another skater or two).

 

[WeakAnkles]

And Jason takes fifth. Which is a good sign he's on the right track. Four year plan. Four year plan.

For me she performed very well. His choreographically movements were spot on for the music. And he totally went for it.

That was a very solid skate by Boyang, which is great to see after his recent difficulties. However, I found the program incredibly dull and empty, with virtually no performance (other than maybe 10 seconds of it). He really needs to work on the PCS side of his skating. He also needs more flow on his landings.

Best Men’s free skate in a while!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

People saying Junhwan doesn't have artistry haven't seen some of his gala programs is all I can say

 

[CellarDweller]

I wanted Keegan on the podium...oh well...at least the whole group skated well! Congrats to them all!

Me too. I think Keegan should've been in bronze, and Vincent in 4th. It was good to see all the clean skates, the guys should be proud of what they've done today.

 

[sunnystars]

Are y'all ready for that success essay from Vincent Zhou?

 

[Dreamer57]

Shoma wins gold!! Congrats Shoma!

Also really pleased for Boyang's silver

Who gets the 3rd place small medal?

Beyond the rotating of his jumps Vincent really needs to work on his connection to the audience.
