To me, Dai the rockstar was overscored in TES given his poor spins and a disruptive stumble in footwork. Chan's spins were fast, a joy to watch. I hope Kozuka will switch back to last year's short and win a medal in the world championship.

I think Dai needs to make it more about the skating at times and less about posing and mugging. I don;t care for that in excess but the judges don't seem to mind.
The Men's competition has not been over for 15 minutes and the complaining about overscoring begins. Sheesh.
Maybe Chan's quad was marked "<". It would justify the difference in TES with Oda. Or maybe Oda got much higher GOE on his jumps(which would be right, imo). Great skating from the top 4!
The judges LOOOVE Daisuke, and so do I....It's entertainment on ice, he is blending amateur skating with show skating , something totally cool imo.
So, is that a problem? Sheesh.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion. I am a Dai fan and think he is brilliant on the ice. That is my line and I am sticking to it.
You know, I thought about it as well, when the marks came up, as I expected him to be about + 3 in comparison with Oda. Of his 3 jumps, the 4t looked the only one iffy as far as rotation is concerned, but the abgle for the slo-mo was not good for me to see it clearly.
So, is that a problem? Or, what's the problem with you? Sheesh.
But what Daisuke does with his blades, skating-wise, is also quite fantastic! I have seen Daisuke live and he is even better in person, skating with excellent speed and attack along with his very good flow. Back in the day, I used to think Daisuke was over-scored on things like PCS all the time but after seeing him live...well, I sometimes still think he is over-scored at times (especially when he doesn't do too well) but I understand why much better.
yes sorry i missed it, I was still in awe for Oda's 4-3. Amazing!
Great competition so far!

I agree with how amazing Oda's 4-3 was! Actually, all his jumps were great
Thanks. Looking forward to seeing Oda and Patrick's SP.
Probably a bit of both.
Interesting to see how Oda and Kozuka have almost even PCS! the huge gap is made only on the TES, rightfully so.
