Woot for Nan Song!

for Oda.

Get well Kevin. Patrick too if he's not so well from the way he looked yesterday. Haven't seen him yet today.

[ImaginaryPogue]

Silver is enough for Song because of the second tie breaker. He goes to GPF.

?Not sure. Kozuka has the exact same medals as he does but higher scores, right?

So that means Chan, Brezina, Takahashi, Kozuka for sure, then Fernandez, Abbott, and Song fighting out for the last two slots.

[Okami]

Actually that happened before. Weren't all the Japanese skaters sick at one event? But here it was everyone except Song!

Yes, at GPF 2006. Also Dan Zhang caught the bug back then. :(

[Joesitz]

Much of the scoring I've seen is on partial credit.

Congratulations to Patrick, Song and Michal and a shout out to Adam!

Seems like everyone was a little off today except Song. He proved he is
not the new kid on the block, he is a contender.

^Wow!!!

Nan Song has the jumps, but nothing else. But he has great potential for sure.

Sequinegalore, I think he double one of the jumps.

No, Song has 450.85 where Kozuka has only 447.11, so as of now the order is:
Chan, Takahashi, Brezina, Song, Kozuka.
Whether Kozuka can go to GPF depends on the outcome of Fernandez and Abbot.

EuroSport is about to show Patrick now

[demarinis5]

Nan Song has the jumps, but nothing else. But he has great potential for sure.

He definitely has to work on his PC's but there is no denying that his TES is fabulous.

[SkateFiguring]

The Chinese federation has promised that Song will get top notch choreography overseas now that he has made a name for himself at COC and would be accepted by top choreographers.

[CassAgain]

Haven't seen any of the videos except Song--and WOW! So much potential there. His solid jumps plus some under-developed showmanship, and he's pretty adorable. Seems like a winning combination for someone to really work with and showcase.

Looks disappointed and a bit pale... did the French serve some bad food, that only Song did not eat?

[jettasian]

Wow, Chan made 4 mistakes and still won? I smell another Chan vs.... storm coming soon...
