Reynolds underrotated the 4T, underrotated and fell on the 3A, doubled the flutz in combo, and fell on a 3T. If he couldn't hold his nerves together at 4CC, I can't imagine what he would do in Vancouver under pressure of skating on home ice. Kevin has never fared well with the ISU judges and tech panels (although Chipeur had two dreadful GP events) because he consistently URs, has sloppy landings, and his presentation is still not quite on a par with the top men.
Quads aren't the key to success unless they are completely rotated and the other jumps are rotated and landed well with good flowout. Kevin needs more guidance than his current coach can possibly provide.
Adam Rippon was my predicted winner the same as alot of you. Iam so glad he put in such a great free. Shawn sawyer i expected to be higher but he also came back strong in his free , though overall didn't end up quite high enough. He medalled at SA so he had it in him to skate a great free program. I hope i still get to see Shawn skate next season. Ryan Bradley moved up, though with Kevin iam always slightly disappointed when someone has a strong short and its so high it holds them up to medal even with a poor free, but Kevin did skate so well at Nationals in the free so does have it in him. Though didn't seem to bold well for him having been the favourite after the short.
who won???ryan??Hey all. Hope you all enjoyed 4CC's. So happy for Rippon, Bradley and Sawyer!
I would love to see him back next season too. His free program at 4cc was about the best ive seen him skate. So glad i was able to view it. He had a fully rotated 3 axel, and i think this element has improved though he did have slightly a 2 footed landing. If he could get this clean, i think he could have quite a good season next year. Perhaps Chiper might even retire. Both Rippon and Shawn Sawyer's free program are worth watching at 4cc.
I've been wondering if Shawn is going to skate next season. I like him and want him to, but he has been around a long time and is 25 so I was wondering if he wanted to retire even though no one's said anything about it.
who won???ryan??
Adam Rippon won, in stellar fashion. Ryan Bradley
Now, why these two could not have this skate at nationals?(frustration emoticon)
um... Bradley had a FANTASTIC LP skate at Nationals... the reason he didn't make the team was he bombed the SP (and according to reports he did the almost exact same thing here at 4CCs)
I definitely agree with this.
Hope that this is not the last time this season Adam skates this free!
I'm guessing a win at 4CC would probably earn him a spot at the Worlds, especially considering all the retirements after the Olympics. I'm looking forward to seeing him there.
