Oh, Silverlake - so many wuzrobbed and I call on those judges to justify the lack of interest in Kevin van der Perrren.
and Big John - Kevin did a total whole package program. It was not just the jumps.

watchvancouver should be banned. Talking about somebody as cancer and wishing them a misfortune is PATHETIC. Get lost.

I was sad for Jeremy. But this was from his facebook, he said, "I'm not upset! I would like back some of the points that they took from my short, but otherwise I'm 5th 
not 11th!!!!"
So he's fine. I feel better.

I should rename that... The Oda Redemption: Nobu Comes Home
Forgot last season was Oda's redemption after the DUI! Next season, it would be from the atomic bombing of his SP at Worlds!
Glad Jeremy is looking on the bright side of things. He did finished 5th (not 11th), saved the US Team by keeping 3 spots, and look at this as just redemption from Vancouver. His tweets after the Men's event were pretty sad.

So, everybody agrees with the winner? It's rather unusual
btw Swede regains second spot, (and lost it for Europeans) Does Kristoffer Berntsson still skate?
Cool about the winner :agree:
Kristoffer is still skating, now even more inspired, I suppose. Competing for the two spots are him, Adrian and Majorov.
IMO Chan was overmarked (as usual). All of his jumps were a bit off today. He doublefooted the 3A combo, his 3Z landing was on his toe, and he fell on the loop. He's not the world's greatest performer on his best days in terms of personality and connection with the audience, but today he was really buttoned-up and tight throughout his program. Sure, give him 8s on TR and CH, but he sure did not deserve 8s in PE and IN.
OTOH, Takahashi should have received 9s in PE and IN, and his overall skating skills are more than .35 higher than Chan's. On univeralsports.com, Johnny Weir noted how Daisuke skating is "warm", i.e. he brings the audience into his program. Chan is stiff and remote by comparison.

Already done, this is only my 2nd day here.
I do not think any jump or combination garantees anyone some kind of ranking as stated here:

The judges of the Ladies, if they all skate clean, may be divided between a 3A and a routine skated with abandon. Let's hope they both do their thing and discuss on another thread.

Congratulations to Dai. I am doing my happy dance. He was just wonderful on the ice today
2 footed quad and all he was the class of the field.
Patrick skated very well and I feel deserved 2nd place. I am happy for Brian
a little bit of redemption after Vancouver. Well done.
A shout out to Jeremy and Adam for securing 3 spots for the US.

OMG. I can't believe all this hating and trashtalking on the skaters. Some people here talk like some bunch of first graders. Oh, that would be an insult to the decent first graders out there. Grow up people. Show a little decency. You're not doing figure skating a favor.
I just realized Jeremy Abbott achieved the highest base value of any man in the LP at 79.75 due to his difficulty levels, no under-rotations, and no wrong edge jump entries.
Actually, Abbott's high base value is due to the inclusion of a fully rotated Quad toe and no under-rotations. He actually failed to score Level 4 in his step sequences and two spins.

He's a musical showman and if a 3x3 isn't ready, he won't do one. This was not considered to be his Worlds. Next year will be.
I remember seeing Dai in 2004 Worlds - six years to claim the title, and not much in but one bronze in 2 Olys. It wasn't like he shot up to gold in his first year. Why wasn't it?

I have a feeling Chan got no respect among his peers. He's just immature and inferior in terms of technical ability. I can't imagine any world class skater believes Chan deserves those scores.

When I said difficulty levels, I was referring to the difficulty of attempting a 3Lutz+3toe+2loop and a 3Axel+2toe in the 2nd half bonus. His jump layout is very COP savvy and he always takes full advantage of his allotted jump combinations. Smart thinking and understanding of how the code works!

Iam not a big fan of Kevin Reynold's skating but great skate for him, can you believe he got the second highest TES, he was only second to Dai in the free.
