Looks like Takahashi for silver, Hanyu for bronze.....

Scratch that just read that Brezina is bombing, therefore:

Chan 1st with a new world record
Daisuke 2nd
Hanya 3rd (new kid on the block just like Artur last year).

I am a little disappointed with Dai's PCS. I just think for this brilliant program, jumps out of nowhere, part of the music, the jumps actually go with the music, all of Dai goes with the music - for this performance, that was very stable, no typical Dai-saves all around - I'd have given >90 PCS. How else do you encourage programs that are so well choreographed, that are one with the music? And that are performed exceptionally.

Technical score was fair, but only 85.78 in PCS for that program?!

Phil Hersh's twit:
Replay shows Daisuke may have 2 footed quad. Lot of ice flying.

Mine, too. Whatever medal he gets, he skated all out. What a champion.

I stopped watching Michal after two falls. But why the black armband?

Yeah, me too. I love Hanyu, but I felt Daisuke deserved MUCH more than 2 extra points ahead of Hanyu. I think they may be saving the PCS for someone else....

Regardless his is such a champ and such a skater and such an artist. Love his hair cut and costume too!

Yeah, Dai will definitely need to work on his TES if he wants to beat Patrick. But still, if Patrick trumps both him and Yuzuru, he will still have the 3rd highest TES for the night...so nothing to be ashamed of!

But yeah, I love his style and will enjoy his skates regardless of how he places.
