5 falls! He prob shouldn't have skated, but his TES looks high enough for medal

FS: 75.58+84.02-5.00 = 154.60, 237.55, 1st (out of 10)

 

[begin]

I really want to smite the B.esp guys for glorifying this. These decisions were TERRIBLE.

 

[purpledream]

Do you get -5 for 5 falls?

 

[Shayuki]

Well that sure looked terrible.

 

[Mirunna]

How is the world is Yazuru's tes beating Dornbush? I just don't understand it.

Despire the falls he rotated everything and the system is ok with that since his content is monstrous

 

[Ayeshoo]

They are such brave guys (though unfortunately it's not the best decision to skate.) anyone knows is han yan is now headed to the hospital?

 

[foruiz]

This is very hard to watch, oh my crazy Yuzu.

 

[smasma]

Now off to the hospital. Both of you guys!! Please~~~~!

 

[Alchamei]

You are a fighter Yuzu... It was stupid to skate, but at least you made it to the end. Don't do it in next competitions though.

 

[daphna]

Both Yan Han and Hanyu looked dazed when they skated. I hope they are taken to the hospital asap. Yuzu looked like he ws going to die after he went off the ice.

 

[gravy]

These young men are showing the character and the craziness that make champions.

Yeah. Except previous legendary champions (Yagudin, Plushenko, Kwan) know when to withdraw when they're injured. It's not something shameful to do, nor is it praiseworthy when they don't.

 

[purpledream]

I really want to smite the B.esp guys for glorifying this. These decisions were TERRIBLE.

I kind of agree with this. Where is the wisdom in this decision? Courage yes, but wisdom and rationality are questionable

 

[Ophelia]

How's the program choreography other than Hanyu's bad state? Was too worried to watch.

 

[shiroKJ]

He nearly collapsed when he went back to the Orser....

 

[OS]

If Hanyu doesn't get enough love already. He deserve triple of that now!!!

His performance and expressiveness has really improved. Look forward to see how this program matures through out the season. Well done Hanyu!!

 

[juuryokunashi]

My gosh, I hope this doesn't happen in NHK Trophy. I'll be watching in the stadium and I don't want this much drama. lol

 

[Mirunna]

I hope Maxim pulls a Liza now

 

[alia jackson]

Their coaches need a serious beating

 

[figureskateobasan]

too painful too watch... seriously they shouldnt do this....

 

[purpledream]

Yeah. Except previous champions (Yagudin, Plushenko, Kwan) know when to withdraw when they're injured. It's not something shameful.

Yea, and Plushenko recently withdrew from the olympics! It takes courage to withdraw too (so it should take great character to continue or withdraw a competition)
