2015-16 Grand Prix Final Mens Free Skate

[Shayuki]

I better work on my independence goal before January 15th...because I want to get that ticket to the men's FP!

Worlds 2017 in Finland... Hopefully he'll be in nice condition and have an even better program then.

I mean for 2016! I'm buying a ticket for the men's FP for Boston.

I don't even know how to start. This is by far the best men event I've ever seen.

Thanks everyone...Yuzu, Javi, Shoma, Patrick...Brian
Well done everyone! Magical evening...Yuzu in tears, Javi bowing, Shoma's lovely smile. These are glorious times for men figure skating. I don't care if someone/everyone was overscored...this was just a carousel of emotions. We started with Patrick's delicate skating on Chopin, then Shoma's emotional dramatic opera program, Javi's funny and relaxed performance on Frank Sinatra and then we had Yuzu's fighting intense, full of power program.
We had a pianist, a drama character, a showman and a Japanese Jedi. (and a program with 4 quads. Not a fan of Boyang, but well done on that!!!)

Omg...5 TES>95, 3 PCS>95, 3 men getting 10's...quads, quads everywhere, passion, emotions, tears of joy...I'm not even coherent right now I just love figure skating so much.
Can this get any better? Well, I'd like also Denis Ten in top 6

And once again, well done papa Brian!

Oh I did understand that, I am just talking about myself ;( It's not like I could ever afford going to Boston.

I hope the junior men all watched that & got inspired. Wow...& really so happy for Javi to have the skate of his life with Miki & his family there!

Miki was there?! Any photos? Was her daughter there?

Off-topic but anyone know the song they were playing during the men's victory ceremony? The lyrics sounded like they were saying "are you near me"?

Lost Frequencies - Are You With Me

Yuzu reminiscing Yuna.
Coming after his/her own record. lol

So happy for Shoma. I would have him 2nd but whatever.

Amazing event.

Oh. Ok.

Yuzuru's program, with level 4 everything, +3 GOE on everything, perfect 10s in all components, would score 225.79. He scored 6.31 below that. What an phenom.

After the splatfest that was the Jr. Men's event, this was so amazing to watch live on the ISU stream (which was not geoblocked for me during the entire event!). I was shaking my head in disbelief as Yuzu kept reeling off those jumps and his tech score kept climbing well over 100. How does he do it? Nobody can touch him, and as great as Javi and Shoma were - nobody can touch him right now. Boston is going be insane! Would love to see these three on the World podium, too.

What's he saying?

 

[HanDomi]

What's he saying?

I don't know. He said in japanese, and I didn't understand too much from translator :rofl2:

 

[Sydney Rose]

Unreal!

Not only did we get glorious skating but off-ice satisfaction as well. Yuzu bowing to Brian, Javi bowing to Yuzu, Yuzu breaking down and crying. It was like watching the ending of a feel good movie! :luv17:

isu really need to change the rule for men. since so many people have over 100 tes now, the pcs should weight more

 

[Iron Lotus]

Say it again, say it again!

I want to say so much ''These are the records that will be never broken'' but I said the same two weeks ago at NHK... And we know what happened.

 

[Heleng]

I've watched figure skating for years and that was the best and most exciting men's final I've ever seen. Patrick was breathtaking, Jin was exciting, but, omg, the top three.... each of them skated brilliantly, one after the other. And to have that final performance from Yuzuru Hanyu...well, figure skating just doesn't get any better than this. I am in awe of them all.

 

[Shayuki]

Yeah, it's a pretty outdated system developed in an era where skaters weren't as technical. Nowadays, both ladies and men always have significantly lower PCS than TES(Assuming they skate clean). They used to be weighed around equally and I believe that that was the intention. The situation for ladies isn't nearly as bad but for men scoring 100++ TES is practically mandatory for success.

Congratulations to the medalists! All so very amazing.
