I find it refreshing that Voronov attempts a program he knows he can actually manage.I am not happy with splatfests but honestly I would not like to see skaters not challenging themselves. E.g Voronov skates his two 4Ts LP for God knows how long, naturally it is easier for him to skate it clean. I understand he trains another quad 4Lo I think, lets see will he be so consistent when he adds it to his programs. Same goes for Adam & Jason who can't even manage consistently one.
The top guys really pushing the limits, so it is very hard to skate clean. Still I'd prefer this than to watch clean programs a la Misha Ge time and time over.
If you don't like falls go and watch galas, guys
Why is Nathan always lean forward in his landings and tend to have very little flow out of his jumps even if he lands them straight?
A defect in his technique?
It's mainly how he's been taught to land jumps. It's been described as a very Russian technique, particularly where his arms are placed in his rotation in the air. This position makes it easier for him to rotate and land jumps, but as you said he doesn't get a lot of flow out of his jumps. It sacrifices flow-out for stability.
Y'all with your selective memory. It was a splatfest before Chan/Hanyu/Fernandez, it was a splatfest during Chan/Hanyu/Fernandez, and it'll be a splatfest after them. Ice is slippery and people will fall. I think it's exciting that the sport is being taken to new levels, and it's only a matter of time before the consistency and artistry catches up to the content.
it's not rotation,but his landing technique. he doesn't use much knee bending to help landing,which japanese skaters are famous for
however in the long run, we still yet to see the effect of both technique.Japanese are prone to knee injury the longer they perform difficult jumps.
long flow-out like Shoma is overrated IMO,because it actually interrupts the flow of programs and to me it's not the case he has enough margin rather more often than not his f jump doesn't land perfectly. Shoma's t/f jump techique are widely-acknowledged among the worse out here
leaning forword more often occurs in nathan 4f than the rest which could mean he is not there yet like his 4lz and when his 4lz works it's just fine as it is.
Dreadful...lackluster...mistake-riddled...congrats on your medal
Oh my god...a SEASONS BEST? I'm going to puke

I really like watching clean jumps. And men. What should I watch? Because galas don't cut it when it comes to jump content.
Still crying over beauty that was Sergei's FS:hap93:
He was the bestest
