Also agree Chan is an embarrassment. He's not responsible for his overscoring, but he is responsible for putting out these slipshod programs on the ice. If it was a single competition, we could put it down as a one-off, but this is getting to be a habit. His Fed should be embarrassed as well, though likely they're happy to take his wins and podium finishes any way they can. :disagree: I don't care how good his skating skills are, he can't retire fast enough for me. I'm going to start hating now and avoid the Christmas rush.
Wait, Chan bashers actually have times when they stop hating on him? Geez, you act like he's purposely trying to fall.
A really bad skate for Chan, but hopefully he regroups over the summer. Hopefully people will shut it about him winning with multiple falls and gifted placements (he was 5th in the FS) - although I thought Joubert deserved 5th in the FS... I'm not his fan at all, but I feel bad for him that it's pretty apparent the judges aren't going to reward Joubert even with close-to-clean skates.
I actually thought Dai's scores would have been higher, considering he got 168 here but performed way more poorly at the GPF where he got 177 (though his PCS was inflated there -- more than 4 points higher than his FS here). This is a great win for him after such a disappointing Worlds. I hope it helps his confidence. That being said, he still has yet to get his quad back, which will be his major hurdle for next season if he wants to solidify a spot on the Olympic podium.
Such a mercurial season though for the men... all of the top men have had meltdowns at some point or another and great skates at other points in the season. Nobody really "builded" their season. It's really anyone's game at this point.
