Just finished watching the Men's free on BESP. The Top 3 were so far ahead of the rest of the field, what other skaters out there are capable of bridging the gap? Beyond Nguyen, I can't name to many? Possibly an on form Farris or Kovtun?
Delighted for Javi and Spain, I wouldn't say it was an amazing or outstanding performance but definitely the deserved winner. I wasn't particularly impressed with his spins, I thought they looked messy/scrappy but they all got Level 4's with +GOE's. Hanyu came up a little short but took his defeat well, the quads were they but everything else looked pretty good, I'm not a fan of his costumes, he really needs to look at them.
D10 is an odd performer, when he is on form he is hard to beat but it seems to happen so rarely, I really liked both his performances here. He has developed a knack for delivering at the right time. Nguyen had a great performance, he is a real show man, his jumps were on today. Is he a future world champion? I liked Jason Browns performance but will he reach a worlds podium? He doesn't have a quad and 3A is inconsistent but his other elements are up there with the best.
A good performance from Kovtun, to bounce back from a very poor short, I didn't particularly care for it. Very disappointing from Voronov, I didn't expect a medal but I at least expected a top 5, he won't get many more chances. Disappointing again from Brezina, he is more miss than hit.
My favourite performance was Misha Ge, not the strongest TES but a great all round performance. He really has come on in leaps and bounds, hard work does pay off. I wonder will Uzbekistan fill their two spots next year?
