2014 Cup of China Mens Free Skate 11/08

[Ayeshoo]

Has anyone watched any post-competition interviews about all this? Like in Jp news or something...?

 

[mjj]

I think Hanyu should take this season off. Let someone else carry the torch for Japan this season, he has done his share last season.

Orser has (thankfully) replaced Hanyu for the press conference:

Here's Hanyu (smiling, of all things) on a stretcher:

Did Hanyu hurt himself in the warming up?

 

[Wo|flax]

Well I'm out too; not sure I'm thinking clearing tbqh

 

[Ophelia]

If he didn't skated here or placed 4th or below he had no chance of qualifying for the GP Final,and he wants to defend his title.Which is really stupid of him,there's a grand prix final next year,and the year after that

I hope he and Yan are at least smart enough to skip gala,they looked like they could pass out any time

It's the GPF...this ain't Worlds...

how on earth does a tech fall have anything to do with SS; dedcutions from other PCS I understand and agree with

I don't know why you think they're not connected. Since we don't have 'Jumping skills' score, I don't see any other mark more connected with falls. More than that, falls happen not only on jumping elements but also on step seqs, spins or twizzles, especially in ice dance.

i really appreciate the grown adults blaming a concussed kid (who has probably no idea what is going on because guess what he's flipping concussed). Blame the judges, coaches, officials, the adults who could have stopped this mess. Congratulations, i'm not sure who i'm not sure who i'm disgusted by more you "fans" or this sport as a whole. I guess i'll take both. Some of you are acting like yuzuru bribed the judges. Instead of worrying about the health of two skaters, we're all sitting around screaming about scoring, which would have never have happened if we had actual competent adults around to tell these guys to get off the ice. Can we focus on the lack of safety guidelines? I'm disgusted. Also for some of you concerned about this protocol crap and blaming the skater for causing the scoring issues by himself, you all need your heads checked as well.

preach this

And I think that is not you to decide if he should take season off or not, and I don't understand why he should ? He will be not skating long. He is going to retire in 2018 anyway.

Did Hanyu hurt himself in the warming up?

Him & Han Yan collided, yes.

I didn't see it on the stream I was watching. Then they went to commercials & had the camera zoomed out for the entire break and subsequent re-warm-up. Here's the video of the collision.

I'm worried that these two didn't even have real sense of what was going on after the collision and all they knew is that the needed to be on that ice and do that program. They were probably still dazed throughout the entire thing....It really was irresponsible of BOTH teams to let them go back out there, especially since Yuzuru seemed like he had a emotional crack in the K&C

Heres a video of the entire thing after

[Snow63]

Thats true. But at the same time, if there was not enough insentive to do a quad, no one or vary few skaters will do a quad. A quad or multiple quads are necessary in mens skating.

Then they should rise BV for quads even more, but if skater falls he should be getting 0 points
It's actually very sad that Yuzu got for 4T and 4S with falls more points than for a very good 3F. I don't think it's fair, and average spectator will never understand this.

Wow, the messages on this board are awful, and just after what hapenned. Just wow

Thank you.I have nothing else to say..
