The good thing is his hardcore fan base is shrinking everyday. The more he's being held up by judges, the harder he'll fall in the end. Rats will jump ship in the end. He'll be abandoned in no time in the end.

No, not even close but at least we won't have to hear him constantly whining, trashing others and be really mean yet try to fake as a nice guy on Universal TV. Be diplomatic doesn't seem to be part of his vocaburary. And even though he smiles when he speaks, his feelings escape him like a scorpion in a beautiful human body. He obviously has this grudge against Patrick Chan, it's written all over him yet he is trying to fake it, what a turn off. And when he was asked about his duty to help US secure 3 spots, he immeidately dulge the bullet by disowning any responsbility. He is clearly not a team player because no one else on the team would have said what he said.

I do worry that he will become complacent and not fix his flaws if he gets the marks he got today for future highly flawed programs.

I agree, I don't hate Chan, I think he's a great skater, but when he makes mistakes like that and continues to get really good scores it's just annoying. The same goes for Jeremy, he mosdef did not deserve 150 for his LP in Vancouver and even tonight he was off. I just feel it must be really frustrating for skaters like Brezina who skate a clean program and are still significantly behind an out-of-his element Chan with a few very noticable mistakes. And KVDP doing a 4-3-3 and placing behind tentative Jeremy with 2 falls, please. I know he is not artistic but if he can do a combo like that so well he deserves to be higher than 8th, it's almost like a slap in the face for him, oh you'll never be good enough to be on the World Podium even though you're the best jumper here.

Right, Goebel was the chosen one.

**ARipp42014** · 03-25-2010, 06:42 PM

Can we ban him? Better yet, just press ignore! That person will get the point.

Let's just celebrate Daisuke's win and forget about the Chiddy bashing for one night! While I'm not happy that Patrick finished higher than Michal (and even Brian), I wouldn't go too far by calling him a cancer.

Anyway, who wants some sake?!!!

Me! Kampai! Omedetou, Takahashi Daisuke-san!

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?

No thanks. I am already drunk on Dai.

Cloudkicker you don't have to hate. The only reason why you think Chan is overscored is because you hate his ego. Let it go. He did better than Joubert. If it's all about the quad, Kevin Reynolds would be on the podium.

**CassAgain** · 03-25-2010, 06:50 PM

Chancy Bets is a great nickname. It's weird about Chan--he hardly seems like he's be that polarizing a character, but he surely is. I guess it's the nature of figure skating and its fans.

Congrats to the seemingly non-polarizing Dice-K. Well done!

**figuristka** · 03-25-2010, 06:51 PM

I think if anyone does not agree with the results then check the judges details and try to understand why its that way, and where the skates pick up their extra points. Don't bash a skater as you do not like the judging.

Yes, Sake, we don't need any Chan bashers spoiling the celebration of Dai's great win.
