2015 Worlds Men Short Program March 27

[Sabrina]

Could you explain me why Yuzuru is over Javier????? Do I smoke I didn't have time for a coffee...Why Denis10 got over Han Yan (sorry, I haven't seen Han Yan's SP)...

 

[ranjake]

Can't watch but... How did kovtun get better PCS than josh?

He did? Unbelievable! I guess I don't understand some things at all

 

[Eclair]

Japan FED did a big mistake after nationals... choosing Kozuka... and we all knew that Mura wasn't doing a good season too (but at least he has more potential). After the last good performance by Murakami they had to re-think something for Worlds... so it's all their fault :disapp:

lol, saying Mura has more potential than Kozuka is ridiculous. Given, Kozuka is inkonsistent, but he was 3rd at last years nationals and didn't get sent to the olympics, now 2nd at this years nationals and you want to leave him out, too? That would have been really unfair.

Voronov and Kovtun getting more PCS than Hanyan and Rippon is the real drama.

Kovtun with better SS than Kozuka

Final group PCS.

Nam 9th and Brown in 6th! Very pleasant surprises, but obviously there was quite a bit of collateral (Farris/Mura/Kovtun) that got them there. IMO, Brown and Yan should be ahead of Ten.

 

[Alchamei]

Wow, the way things are going, no country is going to have 3 spots for next year. FS will determine all!

Are you kidding? Is this even possible?

 

[HanDomi]

I am bit surprised by Kovtun PCS skating after Hanyu

 

[frieda]

And brendan kerry qualified! Aussie aussie aussie!

He qualified fairly early on! I'm excited for him. Hope he can keep his nerves under control and have a good time.

 

[anonymoose_au]

PLUSHY will just have to return in 2018!

LOL as a sad, sad fan girl I would love to see this. Looking at the Russian men these days...Plushy really sticks out as someone who can take the pressure, whether everyone wants him to win or lose he ain't bothered.

 

[chairmanmao]

The ones complaining about Kovtun got tiresome a longtime ago. So inane and pointless.

 

[lilithgothique]

Who knows how he ever gets the PCS he gets

True. But I mean seriously judges cmon. There's only so many reputation and pity points you can give.... Jeez.

Denis got 3points less in pcs than Hanyu...

I feel like he didn't perform the most out of his program. But that's probably mainly due to the mental-jarring of the music situation that happened.

 

[GF2445]

Im not going to say the PcS is wrong...its just very approximate i.e. Not precise so some skaters rank higher when they shouldnt

 

[Lindacrow]

Could you explain me why Yuzuru is over Javier????? Do I smoke I didn't have time for a coffee...Why Denis10 got over Han Yan (sorry, I haven't seen Han Yan's SP)...

Javi was clean but he had 1 jump in the first half, while Yuzu had 2. Yuzu also had better spins, and SS overall. But I do agree that the gap between Javi and Yuzu should be a little bit closer...

Wow, the way things are going, no country is going to have 3 spots for next year. FS will determine all!

Spain does at the moment.

 

[ranjake]

Did you even watch the competition? Ten had more mistakes than Hanyu (are you forgetting the big step-out on Denis' 3Lz-3T which Hanyu didn't have?) and a less intricate program.

Adam was scored fairly on PCS. His SP is all about setting up for the jumps, which negatively impacts basically all the components of PCS.

See- I know nothing (score-wise) I thought Adam's was beautiful.

Wow, the way things are going, no country is going to have 3 spots for next year. FS will determine all!

That's actually a fairly good point. USA, no. Japan, no. Russia, no. (at the moment)

Funny enough, Spain will get 3 spots if Javi wins silver or gold.

Final group PCS.

Well Takahito got 7.64 for his bomb of a skate, 8.25 for Maxim. Compare that to Takahiko's 7.82 hwell:

I wonder too. Not about your consumption but the scores.
