2015 Worlds Men Free Skate March 28

[lady_bee]

Nope. Japanese skaters always blame themselves...even when they do well. Sadly. expecting tons of apologies to the media from the 3 men.

That's true
It might be a good thing no to blame anyone, but sometimes that makes me sick watching too much apolpgies.

 

[gmyers]

LOL also for this one.

I'll keep the faith, but Pitkeev and Petrov seem very promising too!

They do seem promising but now both are in downward areas

There's Adian Pitkeev and I think Mishin is coaching Petr (?) and he seems to be a good jumper already. Pitkeev also struggles with nerve though even though he's really promising talent wise.

Gummenik is 13?

Uno's 4CC performance would have been enough for 4th. Adding an element to his WJC performances, it would have got him 6th.
Japanese Fed is the new Russian fed.

I am not sure about that, because pressure at WC is immense. If Shoma were there, no guarantee he would do well, maybe he would do worse.

I thought Shoma Uno didn't want to go to Senior Worlds and deliberately chose to Junior Worlds instead?

Looking at the WS points...it does seem like an odd choice. Getting 1st at Jr. Worlds is only about 500 points. Kozuka finishing 6th last year got him 756 points.

The judge was probably drunk.

It got thrown out anyway....

He just really want US. to keep 3 spots

 

[OS]

Whoa... a 10.00 in TR... I don't think I've ever seen that! That was pretty generous...

Is there a US judge on the panel?

 

[Mrs. P]

Is there a US judge on the panel?

No per chuckm's post elsewhere:

Per ISU Communication 1909:

The judging panel will include 9 judges selected from:

BEL
CAN
CHN
CZE
DEN
ISR
KAZ
POL
RUS
ESP
SWE
UKR

No USA, no JPN

I don't know which countries ended up on the panel.

 

[rollerblade]

isn't it kind of sad that if Yuzu went for the 4S and fell he would have likely won.

Can he? Even with a 4S<< -3goe?

 

[SashaJuliaSpins]

Just plushenko. Medical science can do wonders.

I can't even...!

Gummenik is 13?

But he can still qualify for the 2018 olympics right?

Huh? If anyone deserves it it is Jason...

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Is there a US judge on the panel?

I can't imagine any judge other than a US judge giving a quad-less Brown with two axel errors a 10 in TR.

It must be from Russia then... it is all relative. Jason deserve 10 compare to their own skaters.

 

[Mrs. P]

I love Jason to pieces, but I'm not sure if it merited a 10.. I might feel differently if his jumps were clean..but then again I don't know precisely what fills the bullet points.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

I wonder how many skaters are going to try to compete for UZB and ESP next year!!

 

[treeloving]

Yes, it shows that the scoring system regarding the falls is really not working.

 

[shiroKJ]

Can he? Even with a 4S<< -3goe?

Hypothetically, it wouldnt have been <<. At most < and i don't think even that if he really went for it.

Im glad he didn't though. .. He has limits.

 

[Mrs. P]

I can't imagine any judge other than a US judge giving a quad-less Brown with two axel errors a 10 in TR.

There wasn't a US judge on the panel.

Yuzu must be mad at himself now. But what to do when he was off-ice for 2 months after surgery & ankle sprain and only have 3 weeks of training. I wonder whether he should postpone the surgery, but since he already have the pain since GPF it was probably critical to have that surgery.

He wasn't the only one responsible for those 3 spots and it's not his fault both Kozuka and Mura did poorly in the short.
Anyway, congratulations to the medalists! I hope the "Hanyu is always overscored/the new Patrick Chan" crowd can take a rest now.
