2014-2015 GPF Mens Free Skate 12/13

I agree about Machida. Something had to be wrong. He is so consistent.

But he had a very bad long at NHK- albeit not on the level of this debacle. and remember his Olympics meltdown. I DO think pressure is not his friend.

Orser must be thrilled

If hanyu had landed that 3 lutz without any positive goe he would have scored 198 and something :eyes:

I wish Eurosport would show the medal ceremony too.

 

[Krunchii]

Yuzu already got it; Patrick was just over it I think? can't remember

Patrick has gotten 101 before at TEB last year

Nationals will be very interesting. I'm now less sure that Mura/Machida will finish ahead of Kozuka....

 

[Alchamei]

I know - he will do it at WC I'm sure.

Ok, so good for Hanyu. He has a wonderful technical display of jumps. But I really don't think the overall program including spins, transitions and artistry is that outstanding. He seems like a very likeable guy but I just don't see the complete package. I think Javier displayed more of the completeness and polish that I want in a champion.

Agree with the first part--I love Yuzu but it's not the most outstanding program out there, but he certainly wows with his jumps and technical content.

Javier being more 'complete' though, like I said earlier in this thread, unpopular opinion but his skating does nothing for me.

(But maybe this is just me missing people who aren't competing this season/have already retired. haha.)

He got 2.52 on that 3Lz, if he lands it perfectly he'd get another 5 points, if he was clean his PCS might be higher too and he could pass 200

Why is everybody hating on Hanyu's costume? I preferred the CoC one, but I really enjoy this one too.

:shocked:

:disapp:

 

[Sandpiper]

Huge cheers for Javi from the crowd. I'm happy he's on the podium, with no falls in the LP. This will be good for skating in Spain.

 

[MasterB]

Will Shoma Uno now be number two at Japan Nationals? Hope so.

 

[Mrs. P]

Unbelievably the pattern holds true again this year for Hanyu and Machida.
Hanyu peaks at GPF after a bad start, Machida bombs at GPF after a strong start to the season. hmm...is it just coincidence?

None of the Japanese men have been really consistent. Mura has underpeformed after such a strong start at Skate Canada.

Hanyu does look to be the up and up after struggling at the beginning of the season.

Shoma Uno is old enough to compete at Worlds, so we might see some interesting results for the world team come Japanese nationals.

Heck Murakami might come surprise too.....

And oh yeah, Kozuka.....

 

[juuryokunashi]

Nationals will be very interesting. I'm now less sure that Mura/Machida will finish ahead of Kozuka....

They will still finish ahead of Taka (unfortunately, the legend of poor taka continues) because I think Tatsu really just had A Bad Day Today.

I think the biggest threat to Yuzu and Tatsuki would be Shoma Uno. I wouldn't be surprised if Shoma makes it to Worlds Team, if he shows up at Nats with the same results as he did in JGPF yesterday.

 

[Hanmgse]

Well this was an awesome competition!! Yuzuru really amazed me wow I loved Voronov too!. And yay for Javi for doing such a great program after his short. But I'm also vey sad for Machida I almost cried. Well that's it. Lovely competition !

 

[Maria Victoria]

If hanyu had landed that 3 lutz without any positive goe he would have scored 198 and something :eyes:

I think it's also good Yuzuru will still have something to shoot for.

 

[Oreo]

The men's medal ceremony was great! Obviously these three guys really like and respect each other. They were all so happy to be there!

I'm less certain of Mura though. Unfortunate, since he had such a strong showing at SC. However, he's as inconsistent as Kozuka(I shall try not to think about him now; he makes me sad.).

 

[Florencito]

The most astonishing thing was that Javi didn't zayak! You passed your maths text
(that Olympics though... )

 

[Mrs. P]

Also, looking forward to head-to-head matchup between Kovtun and Voronov at Russian nationals. Their scores are really not far apart at this point.

Menshov might be the odd man out this year. (though he looks good for a Euros spot!)
