2016 Trophée de France Mens FS

[glorybox6]

He actually gave the choreography some fire and energy at the end, which is encouraging (yeah Zoueva)! If he can pull off this jump layout and improve his camel spin, this could get him up there with the big guns.

Nathan is so ambitious. It could be his downfall.

Or what will make him champion one day! Look at Hanyu

 

[chairmanmao]

Denis please do not bomb. I still can't believe a World Champion and Olympic medalist doesn't have a GP medal and hasn't qualified for GPF once.

Nathan is so ambitious. It could be his downfall.

In the Figure Skating context, it seems all too literal.

 

[valerieally]

I like Chen's shirt. He hooks his landing foot fast on the ice, any more tilted and it could make his jumps count as UR.

 

[Florencito]

Tes was still 94 though... huge

 

[frida80]

My poor baby.

 

[cathlen]

A lady commentator in Polish Eurosport says there was some UR in Nathan... We'll see if his TES will stay or go down...

 

[MeltedIce]

Same TES as Adam, but looked much worse

 

[Lota]

His TES so far seems huge for what just happened :think:

 

[Lysambre]

Ok, that wasn't so great, but it is still your very first senior GP Nathan. Give it time :agree:

 

[shiroKJ]

Dare I say its like Boyang last season? Great SP but empty bland LP.

2A ngl that bugs me. a lot.
I did not see all of that combo since my otherwise flawless feed is being dicky, but it was sloppy and messy -3T-2Lo
3Lz
StSq

well. the ambition was there but the execution was sloppy. and the double standard is alive and well, i see.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Apart from the quads, I have the same impression as before. Nothing much there. While there's a visible improvement in the SP, not much I see here.

IMO, I would take out some of the quads, stop at say 3 and then try to make the whole package better. There's no rush for him, he's young enough that he can afford time.

Or what will make him champion one day! Look at Hanyu

Hanyu is ambitious but never with such an empty program.

 

[sabinfire]

Whoops, sorry, 7 point leader rather!

 

[moriel]

Dare I say its like Boyang last season? Great SP but empty bland LP.

Yeah i feel we have quad twins now

 

[Lambari]

Denis please do not bomb. I still can't believe a World Champion and Olympic medalist doesn't have a GP medal and hasn't qualified for GPF once.

He has a GP medal though, I think it was a bronze at TEB. I remember Frank saying how it was his first.

 

[Crossover]

The first two jumping passes looked so promising, but after that, he fell twice and landed iffy quad toe-loop.

I think the layout should be revised to give him a breathing room from the hardest jumping passes to do more quads.

D10 got a medal at TEB a couple years back.
